Science, especially during the last century, made it's biggest leap during times of war. Now, I can't say I'm not glad we have penicilin, jets or rockets being able to reach space. But I would rather have all of that invented because it furthers humanity, not as a means to destroy ourselves or to patch up wounded soldiers.
Seems there's only enough funds if we're out to kill each other. Never when it's just about surviving and furthering our common good. Well, unless someone gains from it.
As I said, you got a point. But there's no easy answer to it. At least I haven't got the answer.
Is it the answer that’s not easy or the implementation? We know what needs to be done and those who are in power know as well. But greed and fear stay their hands. For them, It’s safer to remain on the tiger’s back, even though we know we should get down.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
