The Problem:   Our so-called  leaders are making decisions, today, that have heavy- duty, long-term, irreversible consequences upon all of humanity and upon the  Earth, itself.   They are making those decisions based upon an underlying set of fairytale beliefs that have their origins in antiquity -- beliefs that were created and have been handed down, virtually unchanged for several hundred years, to the present generation.  These beliefs came from people who believed the Earth was flat; from people who believed that God was a super human being sitting on a cloud in the sky, and that hell was a physical place beneath the ground controlled by an incredibly evil being call the Devil.    

Distortions of Jesus' teachings:   The teachings of the gifted master, Jesus,  instead of being studied for their boundless wisdom, were squeezed into a small belief box, tuned into a fairytale-based religion, and used to amass wealth, privilege, and political power.

About 300 AD Constantine declared Catholicism as the official religion on Rome, and thus with the official marriage of church and state,  began the 1,200 years of grief and misery.   Beliefs in and adherence to religious illusion was enforced by government/church violence.   This period was  called the Dark Ages.   During these desperate years, dozens more stories were added to the official belief system, such as  Sex is Sin,°  and  God's Conception Magic Act.°   

Religious Beliefs Are Carved in Concrete:  Since about 1,500 A.D., there have been tremendous advances in knowledge about the universe we live, about what humans are, and about how  humans relate to our Earthly environment.   While everything else has evolved, grown and changed, the past five hundred years has made hardly a dent in the religious beliefs that form the foundation of present day human behavior.°    If humanity is going to survive, this must change.   We must begin basing decision upon evidence and not upon antiquated religious fairytales.   

What's Being Ignored: Here are some areas that must be given proper consideration.   

u     Sub-atomic physics tells us that there is no such thing as physical matter.°    Everything is made up of energy.   

u     Ninety-five percent of the known universe is invisible to our five senses and to our physical instruments.   It's called dark energy and dark matter°  

u     The latest scientific theories are telling us that the universe is made up of several dimensions that the universe is far more complex that we ever thought it was.  See the Video:  What the Bleep Do We Know.°   This film explains the theory that the universe is made up of infinite possibilities,  that nothing we see hear of believe, including our deepest held religious convictions, should be trusted to give us any definite answers about what reality really is or isn't.   

u     That's not to say that this film explains reality, but if I have to choose between believing in God's Conception magic act,° believing in a flat Earth and an believing that there are multiple dimension of reality, I'll place my faith in the multiple realities.   This theory in no way discounts the reality on an infinite source.   It simply says the present perceptions about what that source is and how it functions are most likely inaccurate, but this shouldn't be a surprise to any Christian because their bible tell them the same thing  -- Ecclesiastes 11:5.°  

u     Overpopulation is creating an environmental disasters° unprecedented in it's scope since the demise of the dinosaurs.

u     Numerous Biblical passages are simply ignored.°  

u     Most of the major Christian beliefs such as "original sin" and  life begins at conception° have no scriptural support.

u     Major fundamental assumption, such as We are our physical bodies.° defy and/or ignore the evidence.

u     Of the three possible assumptions about of life,° atheism, Christian one-life-ism and reincarnation,  the circumstantial evidence overwhelming points us in the direction that the that reincarnation is  the correct assumption, and yet  this assumption  is still being completely  ignored by the vast majority of those in charge of the western nations.

u     Present human behavior is  unsustainable.  Without major changes in human behavior disaster is inevitable.   We are destroying our environment at an astounding and disastrous rate.

u     The status quo is doomed.  It always has been, it is now, and there is no evidence that that is about to change.   

u     Change is the norm.  For centuries, churches have been the leaders in resisting change.

u     Major changes have always  come from the lunatic fringe.°    

u     Keeping drugs illegal has made the most vile and detestable people the wealthiest people on the planet.°   They literally own portions of every government on the planet.

u     The Federal  reserve has milked billions of dollars out of the public treasury and into the hands of private bankers.   This must end.

u     Campaign finance has caused our so-called public officials to be owned and to vote the will in the special interests and in so doing to ignore the public and the environment.

u     The present public debates contrasting creationism and the scientific theory of evolution°  completely ignore the most likely theory° about the nature of what a human being actually is.   

u     Capital punishment° is a sick joke on those who support it.
