Only a stupid clueless fool can even "think" something so stupid.
Keep up the the stupid clueless quotes from clueless fools guys since you can't even think for yourselves ......

It's pretty clear when it's all laid bare. Isn't it?
Abrahamic supernaturalism - whether Christianity or Islam - won't survive the info age.
Good riddance!
But if not religious supernaturalism, then what? And if not God Jehovah, aka the God of Moses and Abraham, then what? Hmm...

...then what? the god of this world (aka, the Antichrist).
edit: anyway, if ya had apportioned part of yer, what i can imagine, life long search for understanding, knowledge and wisdom, towards searching the holy scriptures (to either prove or disprove them) you would have, eventually stumbled upon prophecy (from various old & new testament prophets to JC) regarding the Great Falling Away, aka The Apostasy. Which is fairly well underway at the moment. So, point is, yer wishes will come true...before to long. There will be some form of a spiritually dead church masquerading as the real thing, though. way to long of a story to get into here. btw, the very worst thing that could happen to the x'ian church would be for it to become a state church, ala the church in rome, bitd! no worries b'cuz it ain't ever gonna happen. and as far as politics goes, no worries either. they should have never mixed religion & politics to begin with. that was a very small segment of dominionist initially (70's) and they managed to fool and suck in the church at large by camouflaging their true colors, etc! ...carry on.

re: good riddance
Don't get me wrong, it had its place in history (in the 11th century, e.g.,; in the lives of our grandmothers, etc.) But this is the 21st century, now.

Splitter, require of yourself, man. Cast off your outdated beliefs. (Exorcise them, lol!) Challenge yourself. Upgrade!

Remember, they were men of God who destroyed the educational treasures at Alexandria
True men of God never destroy treasures.
This shows how stupid and clueless you are.
Anyone doing such acts is none other than a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Keep biting the hook .....

What choice do we have?
It's a war of ideas and a war of cultures out there.
They used to say the same thing about "astrology." Depends on how one measures, I suppose. Is Latin dead?
Against the odds, against entropy (the Second Law), I nonetheless believe in civilization. ;)
part of me suspects the information age will not out-live
Maybe not. But it's worth a go.

Through it all, I try to remember that, at bottom, it's NOT people who have us in this life predicament, or these life predicaments, but nature and how it works.
There is some consolation in this.

HFCS -Splitter, require of yourself, man . I like that. It has a ring to it that resonates. And is something we should all do more of, in one way or another, eh? Therefore, good advice, thanks! I will make note of it. :)

The writing's on the wall...
It's ovah for Jehovah.
The innovations, from a division of the company called Google Ideas, come at a time when the Internet, and social media in particular, is playing an increasing role in popular upheaval around the world, most notably in the Middle East.
“These are going to be useful additions to the activist toolkit,” said Philip Howard,

Note "playing an increasing role in popular upheaval around the world."
Like.
The uProxy tool essentially provides a mask for dissidents. They can establish a secure connection with someone across the world, in a free-Internet country, whom they trust, and read and post online without surveillance or blocking.
Like.

ekat,
it's all a part of the process. "Brick by brick." It's a tough job but somebody's got to do it. ;)
