The debate of Religion,will never end. No one's mind will change. One side(that will remained unnamed) has been purposely blinded to any logical refutations. Their is nothing that will convince them that their expedient( in the sense that they can't lose)belief-value system is flawed at all levels. So why can't we just sit back in awe at how the human mind works? Wondering how something can withstand 2000 years of refutation despite its fallaciousness? I find it quite amazing...but englightening as well.
There is something very quintessential in all of this. Something that could, perhaps, be used to change the entire world... Myths always die out, and die hard....Greek and Roman mythology lasted for over a thousand years as well, until it was "improved" by the creations of The first Jews and Muslims, and then innovated even more by the first Christians. People forget that their lives are short, not even a tick on eternity's clock. We, right now, are in an epoch, as the Greeks, the Romans, the Vikings, the Britons, the Mongols, and the like all were. Humanity changes, but only after radical happenings, and truly these "radical" happenings take hundreds if not thousands of years finally mutate humanity. The most rewarding musings should not be those which involve refuting propaganda--any good propaganda cannot be refuted-- but more along the lines of exactly HOW Humanity is going to change, and who will be the leaders of the new world. It seems that until a nuclear war breaks out, or until mother nature decides to partake in her cyclic "purifying" rituals there won't be a radical change. But mind you, things will be different, and until someone has some physical proof that their belief-value system is flawed, until they realize that no matter how STRONGLY they believe something, it won't get them anything worthwhile in the end, until that radical change occurs, these small skirmishes will all be in vain. Leave them for the adolescents and amatuers to gain experience from. Now is not the right time...we're not yet close enough to the transition stage. So save your energy, gather the best accoutrements, and polish your weapons, because you don't need them now, but you may soon enough...
