    Wooh!
    Is it really a good news? Seeing how the native population is treated in Canada, I don't think any demographic boom would help solving the huge alcohol, unemployement and poverty issues.

    As for the main topic, I deeply fear religion will go stronger with time. The next century is going to be a very important moment. Will religion survive and destroy reason, humanism and free-thinking? Or will it sink forever, at least in Europe?

    humanism is just another form of religion, its the religion of mankind... actually most religions are religions of mankind in the sense that they center humans as a very special and elevated being, when in fact it is not special at all. the human as we see it around now is nothing but a very tiny thread between ape and ubermensch as nietzsche puts it, or between ape and extinction. we will continue to evolve, for better or worse. to believe that we are an endstation is arrogant and naive.

    there is one "religion" that should be allowed to exist and its phenomenology because it allows everything else to exist without prejudice, judice or postjudice.

    We do not sow.
