The nice thing about this century is how we refuse to learn any lessons from the last century.\u00a0 Despite a century whose primary atrocities were almost completely divorced from any religious motivations, we emerge from the ashes to conclude that religion is the main culprit in history.\u00a0 Despite the legacy of nations rejecting their roots in a Christian\/Jewish moral universe, and the pandemic disasters that came from it \u2013 such as AIDS \u2013 we insist that a secularized, post-Christian ethic is the way to go.\u00a0 And despite the legacy of mechanized warfare, gas chambers, and mushroom clouds, we turn to science with almost worshipful obedience and trust to solve all of our problems, completely blind to any ill results that could occur because of scientific progress.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
