Re: Girl Stabbed in Gay Parade in Jerusalem, Dies Days Later
Who are "we", and how does one kill a nonexistent entity? Surely you are an atheist from your comment. And religion - it seems that nothing can kill that. So what has been gained?

We are humanity. "God's death" simply means we no longer really believe in god as a society. It's all lip service at this point. You get sick, you see a doctor, not a priest. Your crops aren't coming in, you go to an agricultural consultant not a church. |

Re: Girl Stabbed in Gay Parade in Jerusalem, Dies Days Later
If you look at the statistics, "we" are a small segment of humanity. The believers still greatly outnumber us. This is hugely the case in the non-Western world whether the religion is Islam or one of the "pagan" varieties. Even in the Western world where the more educated people trend away from religion (93 percent of the members of the National Academy of Sciences are self identified atheists or agnostics) surveys of the entire population show that a large majority still believe in God and some religion. An awful lot of money is being pored into the coffers of the churches. If this is "lip service" they are very happy to get it. No, I'm afraid that a lot of work still needs to be done to get to the kind of world you envision.

"Ultra-Orthodox" or "Fundamentalist" is a fancy way of saying 'underdeveloped' or 'immature'.
