Christianity would go a great way to helping us - as a means of unity under a moral code of goodness.
But I do not see folk accepting it across the board.
We live in a techno world of man made miracles and the miracles performed by Jesus Christ perhaps only appealed to more basic simplistic folk.
We forget there is " nothing new under the sun" in terms of human experience of life.
But we desperately need unity against the evils of Islam.
I have read that Islam itself was created as a means of controlling the diverse peoples conquered by the early expansion of the Arab empire.
A unifying code produced by distorting the Torah and the Gospels into a sort of mafia doctrine impossible to challenge or leave, a system which must dominate and brooks no rivals.
Certainly it has been successful for 1400 years.
So yes we need a unifying moral code and there is none better than Christianity.
But are "enlightened" modern folk ready to embrace it as their forefathers did?
We need something beyond our little selves it seems.
Or will we just stand and allow the Orcs to continue to murder rape plunder and burn ?
Yes Momus as usual your comments hit the mark.
