Don't be surprised if there are others working along with you. It IS possible for someone to admire and respect the teachings in the Bible and not be a pawn of the church. It can be very useful to find common ground with people before hitting them over the head. The injustices and crimes of religion speak for themselves when they are related to someone sincere, if you don't close the minds of your audience with what they may interpret as personal attacks. Helping people actually see things clearly for themselves and become motivated to make necessary changes in their loyalties is more important than getting a point across. For many it can be a slow and a very painful process. If you really care about someone's welfare, it becomes easier to show empathy, compassion and patience.

How much time do you think the planet has before we destroy it April. Is it possible those who are unlike me are too patient? The remnants of religions and governments have taken over the world, the world is mad and needs the wisdom that has been amassed throughout the ages, it is there for the understanding but they will not see it. It’s not some crackpot idea saving the world; we have the knowledge to do so we just don’t care. You are right about compassion I am getting less and less compassionate towards humans and when the planet starts to deteriorate past the point of no return I my compassion for them will be gone. But you got caught up in this undeservedly and I do care about you. Perhaps we will meet one day sifting through the remains of a library, I will be in the you know what section…

The whole Planet?

Thai, do you really think that humanity has the capability to destroy the planet? Perhaps most life on Earth, and certainly intelligent life, but the whole planet? This may be an object lesson for those searching for intelligent life elswhere, it doesn't last long after developing technology. So a few flashbulbs of technological civilizations going off throughout the galaxy or universe and none at the same time. The planet will survive, and will regenerate, with new life and perhaps intelligent life in several million years, but the current crop may fail. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. For all your rhetoric about Myth and the spiritual, and the illusionsal nature of this world, you seem to be very attatched to this physical reality, or was that someone else?
