Cartoon 749: Conflict of the Century

Empires collide most notably in terms of culture. For half a millennium, Christianity has been the dominate component of culture. Christianity flowed with success of conquests. In more recent times it flowed as the world adopted American ways.

Today Christianity, the fundamentalist approach of absolute truths, is creating a conflict. Advances in science, technology and even finds in archeology are challenging the absolute truths. America has been very successful using denial and censorship to block intrusions.

For nearly 13 years German Archaeologist have been excavating the earliest advanced known civilization. It is in the Kurdish portion of Iraq. It is 7,000 years older that Egyptian culture. However, it is absent in the American lexicon because it does not fit our Egyptian Christian history story.

Quantum physics is also challenging our traditional view of reality. We are now creating “synthetic biology’. The Haden Super Collier caused a major religious uproar in America when it was about to be started up. The issue was that it was delving into the area of “god” denied man.

America has a “gentlemen’s agreement” with the Religious Right. The agreement is to marginalize or not present controversial things that might cause our current “Christian” interpretation in question. Big investors of corporations own the media in America. They do not want their profits impacted by a religious backlash. 

American ignorance is monumental. But it is that way by design. The American bulwarks of ignorance are under attack. Research and communication is occurring throughout the world. America has no monopoly. The impetus is shifting away from the West. The rest of the world is embracing the new insights and moving on.
