I beleve this world is being mislead. Call it overpopulation, but I call it society. Ignorance is my belief why there's problems. Why should you believe that mankind is to come crashing down? Is it because your belief in an entity or 'higher-being' that will judge our demise? Perhaps if the world could become informed to take a hard look at themselves, things wouldn't be so bad. Peoples minds would open to the world around them. And stop pretending so much that they're productive when really they're just mind controlled. Correct me if I'm mistaken, but it sounds to me like you're saying that the world's destruction will be caused by mans intelligence. I thnk intelligence can be used in two ways. Positive and negative.

We can choose to "protect" mankind from whatever disaster we think would emerge from the iradication of religions.

or...

We can bring down the entity that's controlling it. The government. Without government would come chaos. But as we recall, the World was formed in the beginning, by nothing else, but chaos. Planets crashing, extreme heats and cools, rock formations, star explosions.

Great thread!
