The things I find most appalling about religion reach a new zenith
in Islam --(i) a dulling down of individual thought and a dogmatic requirement to conform to the views of the masses; (ii) a stultifying ignorant education
system in which anything inconsistent
with the Qur» an is not just discouraged, but censored; (iii) the subjugation of women to the point of educating them to be nothing but mindless f * king, breeding machines for their insecure husbands; (iv) a political class that feeds off the religious - based ignorance it imposes on its populations; and (v) a general back - sliding against the rest of the
planet because heads are buried
in Dark Ages mythology.
Along
with the importance of these relationships are several other key features: the nested hierarchies of organisation at hundreds - if not thousands - of different levels on this
planet... the same laws of physics and chemistry function throughout the universe, and everything is related to everything else... as any

system, organism or ecology, it
in turn fulfils a certain function, or set of functions - which is often interpreted as having a certain «purpose» within that larger
system.
If what you interpret Paul as saying is that before creating all the myriad galaxies and star

with people being chosen from way back before the Big Bang to do some terrible things like killing babies or betraying Jesus who was chosen on the same non date (time didn't exist before creation) to die
in a fairly nasty fashion and thereby appease the righteous wrath of himself and his fellow Trinitarians by paying a penalty as a substitute for all future sins (of believers?)

what is necessary and a very important change for us today and the future is our conscience, and this requires global consciousness necessary for our long term needs and survival, we need a faith that will compel us to unite to address the problems of survival,

planets or, develope a
system that will protect us, the natural calamities like floods, typhoons, sub zero temperatures, will become our big problem
in the future, so we need a religion that will guide our conscience from simplistic self survival towards a more holistic view of reality.Our oneness
with ourselves and Him is the primary tenets or doctrines of this religion.

In the world view we share we have all been made aware of the rather insignificant role played by the planet on which we live; we know something of the solar system, and we have had impressed upon us the unbelievably immense distances which separate us from most of the stars we see in the sky with our naked eye

what i truely believe is that the moon on that day dec 23 2012 will escape the earth gravity because of the solar

«The historical mission of our times is to reinvent the human — at the species level,
with critical reflection, within the community of life -
systems,
in a time - developmental context, by means of story and shared dream experience... The Great Work now, as we move into a new millennium, is to carry out the transition from a period of human devastation of the Earth to a period when humans would be present to the
planet in a mutually beneficial manner.»

systems in the giant
planets:
with no solid surface underlying the gas, there is no friction to dissipate atmospheric motions.
