the bible gives faith a very high value and make faith in god a virtue that is rewarded with everlasting life.
this,,, is what gives the bible strong power,,, over the mind causeing it not to think clearly and see the clever control faith is.
SS,
The bible is a control freaks dream, which is why constantine chose a religion based on it to use in controling rome, which is why it was perpetuated for 2000 yrs by the rulers of europe.
So true,, so true,,, it all seems so clear now,, I was in the:: faith,, mind control,, trap,, and never knew it,, wow it all starts coming together,,, I'm so happy to be free!!!!
one of the very real dangers that we face today is the population explosion.
i read that the world's population "now" doubles about every 40 years,
this explosive rate is like cancer,, that no longer follows the proper cell multiplication arrangement in the body and threatens the life of the organism.
I guess we both may have different ideas on the word "should" no biggy,, hate to bog this subject down with splitiing hairs.
That the way language metaphors are, they are alway limited by the definitions we give to words.

LT,
I'm sorry that you don't like my post anymore, but I have changed,, I beleive the truth has set me free from the mind control in the Bible.

As,
That's perfectly alright I think sometimes I feel like you do when I hear about bad things that happen to people,, sometimes it just colors my whole world in shades of gray and blue.
I think you expressed yourself well, and have given your view and that is good,, that's what the theme of the thread is,, to express your own view.

Pp,
I think it is "as it should be",, because the nature of the universe and evolution has put us "exactly" where we,, are,,. To think differently seems obsurd.
We came from a ground dwelling,,, hunter-gatherer species,, that has and still is evolving greater awareness, and so for mans currant state of awareness it is "exactly as it should be" if you would like to argue this point I think you would have many opponants.

Ascot,
I think it's part of evolution,, for animals and plants to live off each other deaths as well as lifes... , to hunt for pray. This is totally as it should be.
Don't forget that man is a mighty hunter,, and he has no doubt made many life form to become extinct way before our modern times. This has been a part of man's evolution. Yet it doesn't seem that the female of our species was that heavily involved in hunting,,(unlike the lions) but there are exception I'm sure.
Perhaps man will evolve a more and more peaceful behavior towards the process of evolution,, by yeilding to it in a Zen type of way.
so, where is the world headed?.

cloning is becoming an ordinary fact.
You are probably right,, changes are happening much to fast for those GB member to respond. The internet is just the beginings of their troubles,, and they don't have a clue how to proceed.

FH,
I agree,, our beleifs effect the way we treat fellow humans.
This is why I think "Love" is a safety device and a product of gradual evolution.
I think evolution has given our species the greater consciousness of all that is around us,, which is full of contridictions,, and that "Love" would in a gentle way guide us thru them towards greater and higher forms of evolution which included an evolved "awareness" of (((right and wrong,, or ,,,perhaps not so strongly worded,, would be: an awareness of)) good and not so good.

Craz,
I think it much better if we learn how to live at peace with nature,, and take non violent measures to bring the human population down to about 1/2 a billion or maybe 1 billion.
Of coarse every one has to see the incentives for doing so,, I would welcome more public debates on the seriousness of over population.
You know we have so many smart people that can come up with a workable solution,, but it doesn't seem to be a priority,,right now,, too bad because eventually,, not us,,, but future generations,,, will have it very difficult because of the damage to the enviroment.
We've evolved a brain that can handle complexe problems,,we have evolved better justuice systems,, we are learning about ourselves,, maybe evolution,, will bring us to the verge of extinction and at that point we will do something,, but i hope it is much sooner than that.
Nature has it way of bringing us back to reality,, our population will be controlled,, whether we do it ouselves in wisdom,, or let nature take over,, the human population will be controlled.
