HÌM DEAD, GOD SEEMS

BUT THIS IS A MIRAGE? Gòd ìs dead -
it's just taking a while to get rid of the body! Radical Islam
poses no threat to the liberal package, because for all their fervour
the zealots don't really understand the world of the 21st century, and have nothing
relevant to say about the novel dangers & opportunities that new technologies are generating
all around us. Religion and technology always dance a delicate tango: they push one another, depend
on one another & cannot stray too far away from one another. Technology depends on religion because every
invention has many potential applications, & the engineers nééd some prophet to make the crucial choices
& point towards the required destination. Thus in the 19th century engineers invented locomotives, radios
and internal combustion engines. But as the 20th century proved, you can use these very same tools to
create fascist societies, communist dictatorships & liberal democracies? Without religious convictions,
the locomotives cannot decide which way to go! Doodgewoon dus ook 'n myDikwestie van chimps &
