Well, here is the Internet, the new medium of the 21st. century with an opportunity for DEVOTEES OF TRUTH second to none. The motto of U of A where I received my doctorate is "Quaecumque Vera", which means "whatsoever things be true". Jesus Christ said, "I came to tell the truth" and also claimed to be truth personified, ie "I am the way, the truth and the life". Now, do you wonder why the religionists NEVER engage in a sustained Internet discussion, the purpose of which is to arrive at a better understanding of TRUTH? Could it be that they don't want their untruths exposed? Can Dr. Bob Jones, III defend his position on the Internet that he has a better understanding of the Gospels (as claimed on Larry King Live) than Pope John Paul II? How easy it is to make such a claim on TV which allows one to put forward a valid or invalid point and then run away from it, knowing that even Larry King won't pursue it further. The Internet allows no such evasiveness. So let's hear from III and II on the Internet. The teachings of Christ spawned scores of nations (cultures/civilizations/complete societies). According to Eusebius, in Historia Ecclesiastica, ca. 300 AD, some 30 popes in Rome were executed and countless lives were lost in the Ten Great Persecutions before the Arenas shut down. Obviously these teaching were meant to translate into real, in-this-world activities from individual to collective; and 'collective' extends from family to community to nation. Perhaps they were even meant to extend to the planetary level. What would the "official" religion of Mars be? Would the Martian Constitution be like the Sri Lankan Constitution which is explicitly Buddhist or like the Irish Constitution which is explicitly Trinitarian Christian or the Iranian which is explicitly Muslim? Or would it have some other foundational values? Beyond that, how do those values translate into "Culture X"? Does it not impress you as hypocritical that Christian missionaries can describe many pagan cultures very well but cannot describe their own culture? What is their Culture of Truth? Can they describe it and defend it as a "Blueprint for Mars" (or other space civilizations) on the Internet? Bob Jones University has more population in its students, staff and alumni than some of the ancient Greek City States so numbers are no excuse. The Greeks were able to articulate, build and operate their "cultures of choice" and some were very successful. The Greeks didn't have the benefit of the "world's biggest library" which is the information now carried over the Internet. The Canadian Constitution, Charter Section, begins with the words, "Whereas Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God...." Given that this God is a God of Truth, perhaps BJU, Liberty U (Falwell), Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Trinity Western U etc. can tell Canada about their approximation to a civilization which does "all for the glory of God" (I Cor. 10:31). When Svend Robinson, MP was about to table a petition to remove the word "God" from the Canadian Constitution, Elsie Wayne, MP said "Over my dead body". I asked Don Boudria, MP what the legal definition of God is (everything else under the sun gets defined in Canadian laws) and he said to ask the religion experts. I did. You can imagine how they are now falling over each other to reveal how knowledgeable they are on this subject. "Ask and ye shall receive". All you have to do Senator is ask and these representatives of Christ on Planet Earth will tell you how America's "Culture of Truth" would be according to the teachings of Christ and how Americans would all be so much better off living under such conditions. Just ask these great agents of truth and they will tell you how to design complete cultures of truth for the Moon, Mars etc. as America will surely start permanent space colonies in this century. After all, they are the salt and light of the human race, not to be hid under a bushel. Thus we submit our question to Falwell's email address which explictly invites questions. And we await an answer. Why do you think it is not forthcoming? Is it because a high and mighty Falwell only answers to "big and powerful" people? Do you have to give him a lot of money first? Or is it just that we are dealing here with someone who should be charged under RICO laws because he is only a RELIGION RACKETEER? A social parasite who can parrot Scripture without comprehension...and act requiring no more functioning bytes than a robot cockroach. Refer to the Alife Chapter of my book, http://users.uniserve.com/~culturex/Machine-Psychology.htm for the unit on insect robots. That section also contains a reference to "Robopope" to be fair. You see, if the religionists function only according to a limited set of conditioned responses, we can replace them with robots even sooner than US Presidents!
