Jesus and Gasoline

(5)

Which brings us to the question of 'alternative morality'. Is there a 'Humanistic Morality?' Is there a human morality which is free from the ideas of the old obsolete religions? I think so. I think that such a morality can be based on Plato and Spinoza and Modern Science. In fact, I see this modern idea of morality, this 'New Morality,' at issue every day as I observe our culture.

(Laughing, of course. I can hardly watch the news on tv nowadays without laughing.)

This emerging Humanism is provoking a reaction from Obsolete Religion. You can see it everywhere on tv. Religious Nuttery is rampant. Western Religion (or at least American Fundamentalism) is actually fighting a shooting war against Islamic Fundamentalism! Two obscure sects of two major religions are at war! And everybody knows it!

Your sons and your daughters, whom you have raised properly, are ready and willing to go 'over there' and kill for Jesus and gasoline!
