Poll question: Is your Religious Point of View historically inevitable?
That is to say, down the road will the human race come to realize that your particular answer to religious questions is the right one?

1. Nothing is historically inevitable
except for natural disasters we didn't bother to prepare for.

2. I chose "I doubt it--unfortunately"...
since historically, different religions have resorted to mass murder(war)when their power has been challenged by education or other religions.

Religion has and will remain the best tool to control a populace(and leaders).(for good and bad)

For every period of enlightenment, a "great religious awakening" follows...

Even the US which has a purely secular constitution and supposedly "no religious test" to hold office is undermined by the states(some)having an unconstitutional religious test.

4. Since I believe the earth is sacred
and environmental issues are more important than anything--our very survival depends on solving them--I hope the human race comes to think in these terms.

Earth-based spirituality seems inevitable and necessary to me. I hope that pie-in-the-sky god-outside-of-nature religions come to be seen as the harmful, divisive, and superstitious institutions they are.
