really my friend? what is the destruction of the eco system based upon? is it perhaps due to superstition and ignorance or the application of science and technology without recourse to ethics? which country as Mr Blair pointed out is willing to sacrifice its economy for the sake of environment? why are little children and mothers being carried to their death in the Gazza strip? is it because of ignorance and superstition or the application of science and technology for destructive means? it is the ultimate irony that in the face of such huge advancements in medical science human reasoning allows for such inhumane acts. is there not enough food for the whole populace of the entire globe, yet one side is dying because it eats too much and the other because it cannot eat enough, is this the result of superstition and ignorance or mismanagement of the earths resources because of warped human reasoning?
the evidence has been gathered, the issues settled, humanity is incapable of living independently from God, for they were neither created for this purpose nor capable of it. the present state of affairs is a very real self incriminating reminder of this fact, therefore, make your recantation and free yourself from the superstition and ignorance of human reasoning, while such delusion still persists.
the solution, which you and that bad ol putty cat no1 muppethead cannot deny is written in scripture, are we to blame if you cannot grasp and reason on its application?
You must love your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind. This is the greatest and first commandment. The second, like it, is this: You must love your neighbor as yourself.
applying this simple yet profound statement would solve not only the ills on an individual basis but humanity as a whole, yet i have yet to read anything superior anywhere else within the realm of human reasoning.
