Secular thought driven by scientific advance offers numerous and growing challenges that religion has not and cannot answer. It’s not a fight so much as a slowly eroding cliff.
Heroes such as… whom?
Wishful thinking body. Those people have lot of POWER and they aint friends of the Santa Claus!
Religion will become obsolete, as people come to realize that we can lead lives not filled with fear of God, in order to be good people, neither do we need to give our money to those claiming to work for “God”, in order to lead lives of servitude and faith.
Peace and Love to All (~?~)
Wonderfully interesting! Religion does however have a great need, if for nothing else, than to provide heroes. Much to consider! This is a wonderful lecture.
Very good and interesting lecture. It doesn´t seem to be complete though, I would love to see the whole thing.
