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.
