Wolfe can write fictional non fiction better than any one (maybe not his “novels” but The Kool aid Test and The Right Stuff etc. For such a bright guy to talk such staggering crap about religeon! Religeon has one purpose as far as I’m concerned – to prevent change. Its dying because it can’t handle the degree and the speed of change that’s going on in our society.

Religeon is a old story that ppl made up to have e-z answers to impossible questions! this is why its failing becuz ppl as a majority are smarter now.

Religion’s a prism from which to view the world and answers the great questions without the precision or literal nature of scientific truth. It says some timeless things about human nature but can find no “cure” for the various infirmities of the soul, instead insisting on faith in a higher power to provide the cure.

Religion may be in decline but I don’t think its because we’re any smarter – plenty of evidence to contradict that. As far as I’m concerned its because we’re richer and don’t really need it. Back in the day, if you couldn’t have faith in a higher power you really had nothing to hope for. I think people are always trying to provide simple answers about religion, when in reality its an extremely complex phenomenon.

Wolfe said, “All religions are just full of sexual morality–it’s how you keep your populations up. …The bigger pornography gets, the lower the birthrate becomes.” Come again? Where’s his factual evidence? The new mission of the evangelicals is to increase world population by turning off porno? No real journalist would speak so carelessly and publish such nonsensical ramblings. Your interview with the man revered for transforming journalism in the 20th century, exposed a disconnect in the myth of him and the reality. Thank you. I won’t waste another moment considering the authorship of a man who wantonly parades this lack of intellect and credibilty.

And why does religion seek to prevent change? To dominate! Keep the masses ignorant so they can make more money an wield more power.

Screw religion and , sadly , Tom Wolfe too .

I don’t think religion is dying or ever will die. Religion is not to prevent change, I can’t speak for all religions, but Christians want things to change, people in particular. Because at my church, we see ordinary people come in off the streets and give their lives to Christ and it’s awesome. They become so much happier than they were before, yes, we have problems like everyone else, but we know where we can go when we have problems..to Christ..to our spirtual brothers and sisters, we know we have love and forgiveness. And best of all hope, the hope of an eternal life in heaven with God, I would hate to think this life was “It” and I’m glad I have something better to look forward to. But getting in heaven is easy…it’s not what you know..it’s who you know..you must know Jesus Christ or you don’t get in. Giving my life to Christ has been a wonderful experience, he helps me with the selfishness with which we all sometimes struggle. He helps me everyday, when I ask, to make good choices that make me put others before myself. He’s helped me become more humble, a better person in general. So as far as my religion goes, it’s a way of life….and I need it! We all do.

Tom Wolfe is critical of his MENTAL SUPERIORS who know “religion” to be the worst scourge ever visited upon HUMANITY by an endless number of thieving debauching BIGOTS and child molesting pedophiles whose primary goal is to rule the World by Theocracy from the Vatican, who now, control most MEDIA, including Newspapers, TV, Radio, and many Authors, like Tom Wolfe! He’s just one more ignorant Bigot who “can’t see the forest because the trees are in the way”!
His commentary is religious propaganda!
“Militant atheists” are humanity’s only hope for ridding the world of the criminal bigots who promote the ‘Ponzi-like racketeering schemes used to ‘warp’ the minds, and brutalize the bodies of the naive innocents!

Ergo; I say:
Tom Wolfe masquerades as a “Secular” Humanist”; or “Atheist when in fact, he is likely
some sort of “agnostic”! who is still pondering the possibility of a “Creator God”!
Dictionary:
Secular humanism, or Scientific humanism: A ‘conviction’ that ‘dogmas’ must ‘not’ be accepted on faith.(!)
And, a commitment to critical reasoning, factual evidence, and ’scientific’ methods of inquiry rather than to faith, and mysticism for answers to important human questions.

No self-respecting, serious minded “Atheist” would align himself with a “Religious” criminal Charlatans, or their lying schemes that promotes absolute lies, and fantasies as fact, and uses the ‘ruse’ to entice innocent children, and fools into a form of life-long slavery to themselves, and, a non existent fairytale “Supreme Creator God”!

“JESUS” AND “GOD” ARE FAIRYTALE CHARACTERS!
“RELIGION” IS A ‘PONZI-LIKE’ CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY

THE END OF GOD!
Mass/energy never disappear ever were ever here!
With nothing to ‘create’, a “so-called “Creator-God”
Is an impossible superfluous nonentity!
JH 5/8/07

THE ORIGIN OF NATURE
Beginning is never found but keep an ear to the ground
Accept the word of a friend there’s no beginning or end
Natures origin for instance is ceaselessness Existence
The worst form of child abuse is warping of the mind!
JH 8/29/06
