The people voted into power, as well as the political underlings, are almost exclusively scientifically illiterate, and have degrees in economics, law or business..

Any claims of religious alliance or having "faith" are merely to suck the belivers in, as in the USA for eg, they are the political power base.
The self serving, greedy, unscrupulous and immoral frameworks of business economics or law ethics preclude any alleged moral high ground, religious or otherwise anyway..

I believe that a much greater level of scientific literacy is crucial to any future goverment or leadership, from the local community to the national arena, so that "informed" and "relevant" decision can be made regarding the future of the global community and especially the environment.

Religion only stifles the ability to learn and increase knowledge, especially any new knowledge as it becomes evident.

So what do you think, more scientific literacy in all learning institutions for a better future..?

I'm well in touch with prejudice and injustice. I, too, have been on the receiving end of it, but what is happening here? The hatred is becoming overwhelming. Can't people see what they have in common and celebrate the differences? Why not try loving your neighbour? (No jokes about that, please!)

Lot of people are being told something like this" ... Christ said, "I am the way, the truth and the life, and no one comes to the Father God except by me." Only Jesus Christ offers the free gift of Salvation and eternal life in heaven. Jesus Christ is God."
This is what a student said at her graduation ceremony. After hearing that I came to the conclusion that any person who believes in the existence of God but not in Jesus Christ, that person is condemned to suffer eternal torture. I suppose in the same way that a person who do not believe in the existence of God will suffer the same fate I am not discussing here the existence of God or not, it is irrelevant for this question
I want to know if a person says my religion is right but yours is wrong. Is the person arrogant? ignorant? or both?
