All Analytic thinking does for me is help my distrust of Politicians grow larger anytime I hear one of them speak!
The more I wander round this old Earth the more I hope intelligent life exists some where out there in the universe because
there is precious little of it down here on Earth!
It may also be worth remembering that some of the most abhorrent acts of cruelty and depravity have been perpetuated by people who did
not believe in a God or religion. Prime candidates for this are Stalin (Brutal Paranoid crackpot)who killed 20 million of his own people to build the Russian empire during world war 2,Adolph Hitler (Genocidal mad man/racist-used Darwin as an excuse to slaughter millions of Jews along with his brutal cold cohort Reinhardt Heydrich who had no belief in anything but cold hard logic that the Jews must die! Then there is mass murderer Pol Pot lord of the killing fields in Cambodia from 1975-1979, killer of millions with hammers and other handy implements . A Maoist fruit loop who forced people to the country side and conducted a 4 year brutal failed experiment! No God here just megalomania dressed up in political nonsense and brutality! All Analytical in their beliefs that what they were doing was right and logical and necessary!
