Comments on "The Tenth Parallel" - Dispatches from the Fault Line between Christianity and Islam by Eliza Griswold
The achievements and the many products of today's science and technology continue to flood and dazzle the entire contemporary world. But, in spite of all of this production, it continues to be glaringly obvious that science and technology do not, and can not, give any meaning and purpose to human life, either individually or to a society of any size.
However, anybody can experience, or learn about, the many thousands of works and monuments of religious creativity around the world; going back thousands of years in architecture, art, sculpture, music, literature, and other works.
The awful and horrible destructiveness of people in the name of their religions is also a part of thousands of years of human history and the news and events of today anywhere in the world.
Sooner or later, somehow or other, something like a new universal worldwide religion will develope because of its necessity. Then people will find more harmonious religious meaning and purpose to their lives, and they will create new works and monuments of all kinds for worship and other religious purposes and expressions.
