It is embarrassing and confronting for the self appointed 'superior' western culture to acknowledge that the foundations of their brutal, maniacal onslaught on other Cultures beliefs and religions were bungles. Newton's mechanical, clockwork universe is ridiculous. Einstein's limits regarding light and matter are bungles. Or perhaps elegant, sophisticated, ingenious, scientific errors sounds important enough to keep western superiority and pride in tact.
Are you so arrogant and ignorant that you believe that no one could exsist before Christianity and science? Or that Indigenous Cultures had and have none of the greatest minds the world has known? Did Jesus need science or a bible to communicate? Have you the faintest idea how the present day Bible actually came to be? Or how the teachings of Jesus were warped into a savage, cunning, conniving, pompous religion which championed and rode on the back of millions and millions of deaths and acts of brutality? Indigenous peoples all over the world are still reeling from the onslaught of bible wielding, bashing Christians and scientists. Wake up, turn around, look at and contemplate the bloody trail behind us.
Thou shall not kill???? Unless they refuse to bow before us!
Our children are our most precious gifts, and they depend on us, look to us. At present they are being failed miserably. Unless we honestly examine what's happening, and truly want better for them, they are doomed. That archaic, self perpetuating system, based on an endless series of bungles and wars, needs overhauling at the very least, perhaps even replacing, if we truly want things to be awesome for
all children the world over.
