PERSHIBLE GOODS

Mention of the word "CRUSADES" was responsible
for an international tirade directed at the United States
and specifically at then president Bush. This makes one
wonder if the balance of good and evil in religion has
benefited society all that much. Make no mistake this
is not about Catholicism or any other specific religion,
but about all religions that make claims to profess faith,
hope and charity in some form. The balance may be on
the side of evil when you realize millions of people have
perished under the banner of various religions. Most
people who exclude themselves from participation in
formal religious activity seldom commit mass murder or
genocide. Of course there are exceptions but far less than
imagined. Religions on "specific crusades of promotion"
have killed, maimed and caused incalculable suffering
for centuries. Religions are often at the root of Racism
and economic manipulation of the masses. Mass
genocide has resulted and continues by misdirected
Muslims who now have declared a Jihad to eliminate
all who are not "true believers". The Catholic church
sweeps under the rug major crimes by the catholic
clergy. Possibly thousands of children have been
molested and injured for life. This is not just in specific
countries but is a global problem. Is this not evil
and injurious to society? Crimes committed by the
catholic clergy in the present and past are now in the
global spotlight.

Perhaps the problem with religions is that men write
the rules and not an illusive God. Man has always been

less than perfect. Most religions are headed by men who
claim the exclusivity of direct communication with
God through a most complicated system that most
people accept with "blind faith" . It would seem that
man in his ant-like existence in the universe would
have a low priority on any Gods list of things to do. We are
specifically not important in the grand scheme. Our
tiny satellite universe is infinitesimal when viewed as
part of the wider Universe.

Global warming is only important to those affected directly

, it would be presumptuous for all to wage a war on

Global warming when it might just be a glitch that is

a normal or abnormal continuous evolution of the universe.

Should it be man made then a correction of this massive

error in judgement is a hopeless challenge. The best man

can do is adapt to this change. I doubt that global

warming can be halted or slowed significantly.

However It has the potential to unite all nations on earth
who must adapt and work in unison together or perish.
The goal should not be to stop this natural or unnatural

evolution of the universe but to adapt to the change. A

common enemy may put a stop to the killing if nations unite

against a single inhumane catastophe instead of seeking

destruction of each other through aggressive wars.

However "Global Warming" may only result in more
chaos as protectionism becomes the new rule of survival.
I am not optimistic about prayers to the Gods at your
local church, temple or place of meeting. A plea to the
"God's", your special God, or your comercial representative

with a direct line to God will probably not stop the

evolution of the natural or unnatural Universe. One

option might be global peace, unification will allow

energy and resources to be redirected. Using these

resources for Destructive wars based on political,

economic, or religious platforms seems to be the norm

now. Stopping this useless waste of energy and money

may be critical to the survival of all who inhabit the

earth.

Like the Dinosaurs man can perish from the face
of the earth.
