Stating the obvious, jonu.
Western society is struggling to come to terms with the hypocrisy of Christianity - that's my point.
As for replacing it, there's the Koran and Tripitaka to replace the Bible for starters.

The hypocrisy is in some of the followers perhaps, not the teachings themselves. There are already societies anchored on the Qaran. Not sure I would want to be part of one of those, even less so some of the tried and failed experiments of the 20thC

Not the followers but God's anointed leader and representatives on Earth - the Pope, Bishops, priests, nuns etc!
Anyway, all religions preach good - the evil in them comes from those who use religion to abuse and control.

For there to be Good, there must be not Good. Otherwise all would be Good and there could be no reference point. One of the basic arguments for the existence of God. Anyway...we digress along way from Cindy and her wayward gummint...who certainly are not good.

That's hardly an argument for the existence of a god. There's far more evidence for no god, than there is for god.

Hesitant to go down this rabbit hole...but what the hell. There is absolutely zero evidence that there is no God

Yes. Rabbit holes are good brain fodder. While philosophically it is impossible to prove a negative, it must surely be accepted that the fact that thousands of god fans, over thousands of years, have never been able to prove any type of god exists, gives a pretty good indication. So like the abominable snowman and the Loch Ness monster, it's a fairly safe bet that the reason he hasn't fronted up or made the odd TV appearance is because he's simply a mythical creature - or at best he, she, or it certainly doesn't want to be worshipped. And if he, she or it did exist and sought worship, he, she or it would pop up regularly to blow the opposition away. There are more than 2000 gods competing for the title - to be the one true deity - the real deal.

Andrew Little and other Ministers in this Government now want to relax the new safety regulations as they realise the risk to enter Pike River is too risky to fall within the rules. Little was the union boss who repeatedly said PRC was a safe and well run mine, before 29 of his members were killed. His moral compass is missing https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/a...ectid=12263140
