The problem we face is terrorism. We must actually accept a
new god, not the God of olde. Sporadic terror attacks in an otherwise peaceful world will likely never cease, but to cope with the uncertainty, our people should update the olde beliefs into a more modern 'bible'.

Everyone instinctually knows that they are the spawn of a superhuman architect, but that knowledge alone is not why we're here.
Consider this. Most of us attended public schools from an early age, we have that in common. Most of the textbooks were written in the 1950's, before the deluge of postclassical thought.
I conclude that what used to be metaphysics should now be part of basic physics, integrated with our worldly common sense.
Nowadays it has become apparent that we are dealing with more than Isaac Newton here and religious people should really focus on that.
Over the past few years I have felt a much greater sense of peace and happiness in the people around me. I believe terrorism could be done with in the not-too-distant future. Nonetheless, religion is very interesting.
