Oh well said Saul.!!
Like it or not.

Of course we may well end up back in the dark ages, but hey, it may be the price our descendants pay for our greed and consumerism.
DESERVED.!!

But not by them, surely. Aren't WE responsible for the absolutely abysmal state of the world, our home?
Religion should only be an aid to well-being. Surely.! Yet what do we see everyday,...on News.?? War Hatred Chaos.
I think its only now, in the 21st century, that greed (ie Capitalism) is finally approaching/surpassing the power of superstition over people.
Money is now the dominant goal, not the grace of your God.!!
