It's time for a Major Change!

If our World is to Survive!

In the stone age, our semi-human forefathers were

busy surviving any way they could---

As in the animal world, the stronger males caught

the most desirable females, and had more

and stronger children, who drove off all

competitors, and ate all the food---

In some areas, food was plentiful, and the climate

warm enough so what we now call civilization

developed. ...Societies based on law, ethics, and

finally -- RELIGION!

RELIGION depends on priests, Rabbis, Mullahs,

ministers, and teachers to give people standards

for behavior, and hope for the FUTURE---

And religious leaders of all faiths have moved

through the centuries to maximize their power

over the people, and expand this POWER BASE!

In the past, disease, drought, and natural

disasters kept the human population in check

to where there was room for various religious

groups to set up their own "kingdoms" or

spheres of influence without risking the peace

and stability of mankind as a whole...

Wars were fought with arrows and swords

and spears -- often the cause of these wars

were RELIGIOUS as well as POLITICAL.

MODERN TECHNOLOGY has changed all this!

Now diseases are checked by immunizations and

antibiotics in developed countries, and food

can be distributed by trucks to the large cities--

Airplanes make world-wide travel common-place,

spreading culture (and disease) around the earth.

And new weapons of MASS DESTRUCTION

make it possible to kill millions in a moment of time!

FUNDAMENTALISM

is a mind-set in which a RELIGIOUS GROUP

or SECT is so sure they are right, and their

ideas of what GOD is like, and what GOD expects

of them, His special children, to do--that they

are willing to KILL all the rest of us--

for the "Glory" of God Almighty!

These ideas are FALSE, and those who advocate

them must be stopped, if the WORLD is to

survive in THIS, the "New Age"!

Understanding the STRENGTHS (and weaknesses)

of each other's religious beliefs and traditions

is one means to accomplish this GOAL!

And it will be the method employed on this

website! We do not mean to attack or degrade

anyone's beliefs in this process!

The views about Biblical subjects and traditions we quote

here are commonly held by Archaeologists, Historians, and

other scientifically-minded people, although fervently

denied by Rabbis, priests, and Mullahs so far as they

conflict with their established traditions. Bible critics

also use the methods we are using with considerable success,

as anyone familiar with these techniques will testify.

We firmly believe that

the survival of mankind

is God's Will, and

takes precedence over

all other concerns!
