Yeah talk about the principal failure of the World’s Religious structures (said structures also being the sociogenic foundations of the political structures); the area where the World’s religions have really failed Humanity is in the area of Population Control:
Thousands of years worth of ascetic like training/indoctrination & brainwashing and they still haven’t figured out how to keep all those lil virgins legs together…….
The problem was solved sort of regarding overpopulation several years back in a conversation with a friend from India who has PhD EE from MIT. The conversation went something like this:
7 billion people on the planet, right?. Right.
OK there’s like 2 billion Christians & about 2 billion Moslems. Now both groups generally pay a superficial Humanistic tolerating lip service to each other but when you boil the sap away neither of them like the other and both wish the other would disappear……..
So here’s the proposal:
You put the 2 billion Christians on the West side of Sahara and you put the 2 billion Moslems on the East side of Sahara – you know like 2 teams squaring off on a great big Football Field. Give both sides all the guns, ammo, tanks, planes, bombs, missles, etc they want and turn em loose – no food, no water, no nukes. In 3 maybe 4 days they are ALL where they say they want to spend Eternity anyway ahhhnd for those of us who like it here on Earth, we have Earth’s population down to 3 billion or so……
My MIT friend, he nod his head; OK, OK; I’m with ya John but ahhh wha u guna do about 1 billion Hindus?
Well, yeah; that might be a problem cause they believe they’re all coming back again, right? – soooo maybe we’re just stuck with them.
ain’t sayin; jez sayin…………INTJohn
