Through a self deceptive economic system based on mutual exploitation Western man is on a tredmill of unrealistic expectations and financial and emotional insecurity. He dosn't have the brain space to consider where this is taking him. Churches are losing congregations to franchised materialism not aethism. Peoples beliefs are driven by marketting and the churches have just come across organisations that are better at marketting than them. . "Everything in nature is the result of fixed laws." --Charles DarwinBiblical religions not Asia. It is important to state from the start that to the best of my ability I have excluded any wishful thinking from any conclusions that I may infer herein. My preference is to allow the discoveries and opinions of others to fall how they may and merely draw attention where I feel that there is significance.

And if we are all sitting at the top table who's going to provide the food. note the current economic situation. We need a radical solution. Our major problem is too many mouths to feed.
