Construction begins on new border wall

[KingsX]

To be honest, what "the bible" says doesn't interest me much, KingsX.
But if/when man evolves sufficiently to not need borders, races or religion, surely that will be a good thing - not a negative ?

Obviously you prefer John Lennon's imagination.

I thought it interesting that in ancient history and in the most widely read book of all time [the Bible]
what you [and Lennon] promote was attempted by ancient Babylon... whose name is used prophetically
in the Bible [Rev 17 & 18] as the end of the age global empire.

Gives you a rush, doesn't it? Everybody goes to hell except for you. Maybe we'll be having more fun in hell. Ever thought of that? :coolthumb:

Do you think man will still inhabit this world in a thousand years time? The way 'progress' is going, Robots doing this that and everything else makes one wonder if man is contributing to himself becoming extinct. Bigger and more dangerous weapons that will destroy billions, not millions as today's weapons will. Someone somewhere is going to press the button and that will be the end.
Yes, I know, I'm full of doom and gloom.

You're right. I'm quite fond of Lennon's "Imagine" - great stuff.

As for that other nonsense, it just demonstrates how little those primitive biblical writers knew about the real world. How could they ?
There is no way the "Babylonians" made any attempt to ''çonquer" the aborigines (who have been here for over 40,000 years), native Americans, the Chinese, the people of the Indus valley, the inhabitants of Britain or even the then well-structured societies of Greece and Egypt.
Local power-struggles with no great significance today.

I know what you mean. People on earth have pushed things way too far. If a majority of the earth's inhabitants someday soon come together to save the planet, we might be able to work wonders as far as stabilizing conditions so that the earth can remain inhabitable in a realistic way. Then the REAL work will begin as far as making some real and lasting changes to HOW people will live in the future. Otherwise, it's just a march toward oblivion. Yes, our minds can evolve, if we truly want that enough to do it. But words won't be enough, we must put our actions behind our words.
