I can give you one example of religous bigotry at work in our culture. This very day, tens of thousands of people marched in Washington D.C. against the travesty that is abortion, yet it was not covered by any news outlets in this town. They wiilfully ignore this movement. Yet, if 500 homosexuals loiter near the capital in the wake of a democratic vote in California, the viewer cannot escape a sympathetic portrayal of their so called plight.

Science will not save us. They have no answers. They don't know why aspirin works. They don't understand the common cold. If you get cancer, they will bombard you with radiation. If you are comatose, they will put you to sleep permanently. If you are blind, they will give you a dog to lead you around. Yet we as a society have put them on a pedestal. We have made of them false idols. Until we realize that mankind's crisis is a crisis of the soul we will not advance one inch. As long as we negect the spiritual aspect of our nature we will continue to inflict pain on one another.

Aleksandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn :

" It has made man the measure of all things on earth—imperfect man, who is never free of pride, self-interest, envy, vanity, and dozens of other defects. We are now paying for the mistakes which were not properly appraised at the beginning of the journey. On the way from the Renaissance to our days we have enriched our experience, but we have lost the concept of a Supreme Complete Entity which used to restrain our passions and our irresponsibility."

If you agree with the sentiments expressed here, consider joining The Walter Sobchak Society.
