  We have in the US a very politically influential fundamentalist Christian movement which wants to revive the Biblical past.

  And their power is lessening day by day, according to the latest polls.

  And, I don't care what you might say, I have yet to hear of a Christian group of any significant influence come out and say they are "into executing/imprisoning gays..."

  First, in the past, official Christianity (to define a difference between the elites and the masses) acted on occasion in a way far worse than Islam today. Just a few instances for now - The European invasion of South America - from Columbus on, all in the name of Jesus. The spiritual terrorists of England (Protestant and Catholic) who, when the had the chance, burnt them to death. The Spanish inquisition, which refined torture to an art form. And the 100 years war and the thirty years wars of Europe which devastated Europe - both religious in foundation.

  Again, I say it's not about what was done hundreds of years ago, it's about what is being done right now. Islam is a "clear and present danger" to the world.

  has there been any discussion about why jehovah would guide his people to a polluted property to build their world headquarters?

  Tuxedo is not the site for the world headquarters. It is a staging ground for the world headquarters construction in Warwick.

  Are you equally convinced that Judeo-Christianity should die as well?

  No, Judeo-Christianity should just silently fall asleep and fade to non-existence. Islam should die.

  I don't care about the history of the different religions. I care about right now. And the way it stands right now, Islam should f*cking die in a fire.

  Islam needs to die. It has no place in modern society.

  Luke 14:28-30 - "For example, who of you wanting to build a tower does not first sit down and calculate the expense to see if he has enough to complete it? Otherwise, he might lay its foundation but not be able to finish it, and all the onlookers would start to ridicule him, saying: ‘This man started to build but was not able to finish.’"

  mans requirements are limited which can be satisfied with a little and tension-free endeavor..

  however man attempts not only to collect but also to grab and amass everything to the excess.

  somehow he feels that he can be happy only when he has in abundance whereas others have nothingwhich seems to be the thread that runs throughout the history.

  Shouldn't there currently be so-called missing links in the amounts that there are apes currently and shouldn’t what has died off be the apes and we would be wondering what humans were like prior to the so-called missing link (apes) instead of wondering what humans were after apes???

  There is no such thing as a "missing link."

  Missing link is a colloquial term, not a scientific term. In Science, there are things referred to as transitional fossils. These are fossils that show a stage of evolution.

  There are many, many, many transitional fossils. Just google "evidence for evolution" and you'll find plenty of information.

  All of us are transitional species. There wasn't one point in time where an ape grunted, and suddenly gave birth to the first human. It's a gradual change over a long period of time. It's not like flipping a light switch.

  This is why I encourage you to read actual books on evolution instead of just regurgitating creationist talking points. Then, you can see what the science of evolution truly states, and you can then make an informed decision on whether to decide to accept the huge body of evidence in favor of it or go back to bronze age creation stories.
