I'm bored. Religion seems to be an excellent topic to discuss on ET... http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20040514/ts_nm/pope_muslims_dc Go ahead...entertain me!!...
Picked out the following excerpt from your url: " The Vatican's top theologian, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, said earlier this week the West "no longer loves itself" and so was unable to respond to the challenge of Islam, which was growing because it expressed "greater spiritual energy." This sounds pretty much like "The Suicide of the West" by James Burnham. Let me add: " If the West can' t decide for itself, others will do it for them."
