    Poll: Can Science Improve Moral Awareness?

    Science is a wonderful thing. But I don't believe it can change morals. The world is held hostage by MAD. Science made that possible. If science made us more moral, we should now be living in a peaceful and fair world, living at the zenith of human decency. We are not. I think our world...

    I go to the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses. I believe they try to follow the Bible. You must realize though that all men are imperfect. That means that within any organization, sometimes indivivuals will get under your skin. But as far as someone else being assigned to oversee...
