Thread Name: BS: Religion
Subject: RE: BS: Religon
I think you are a bit harsh with your broad brush there, Little Hawk. Most people on this planet are struggling to survive, and they are doing so outside the conventional cash economies of the developed world.

Organized religions are plenty guilty of spreading their own greed and avarice that can be just as devastating to people and the planet, and they've been around a whole lot longer than the capitalist nations and their corporate entities have.

I just don't see how money worship is a greater danger to humans than religion. It certainly isn't true of many present day conflicts and dictatorships (ie Taliban in Afghanistan, Israeli Palestinian war, the so-called "war on drugs" the US is waging on Latin America, the Khmer Rouge in Asia,etc). Things are much more complex than you are making them out to br when you make such sweeping generalizations about first world capitalist economies.
