At the very last picture the earth is illustrated in the same pattern as the “peace” symbol.

Peterson1993: Hmm firestar should explain better. She is the originator of the "symbolism in the the last photo" But I think the last photo tries to break out the idea of the whole world becoming one without ethnicity,laguague barrier or other factors diving the whole world to different sections.. Just an immagination though because it is never possible

BoboYekini: ^^ yeah right!

Peterson1993: yeah! very right indeed. She mostly speaks in literature terms. Very difficult to understand but interesting to read. I hate literature though

manmustwac: Just proves that this planet would be a better place minus religion.

Uyi Iredia:

My comment above should put paid to such childish notions. The actions of the 'Stalinists' should have put paid to the idea that atheism (or irreligion) is devoid of violence.

Uyi Iredia: Seun's piece is as good as the naïve communism of the likes of Marx & Lenin. What's hard to imagine is a peaceful world without religion. Subtly implying that Christianity & other theistic religions (which evolved from various philosophies) is the main factor hindering peace is naïve. The problem as I've repeatedly pointed out is fanaticism which can occur under ANY school of thought as seen in Nazism, Communism, Catholicism, Shiite Islam etc Peace first and foremost is a state of mind not an utopic social condition. I'll advise anyone here to read the essays of Martin Luther King and in particular the Satyrgraha (works explaining the non-violent resistance philosophy of the great Mohandas Gandhi). History has clearly shown that peace can occur under any context e.g the Golden Age of the Israelites under King David, the rise of the Edo suzerainty under the aggresive expansionist regime of Oba Ewuare and the modern-day oligarchy of Kuwait.

Jenwitemi: Stalin was evil, no doubt, but he suffered from the sickness that is very present in religion, THE EGO. The ego in man is the source of all evil. Whether one is religious or atheist makes no difference. We all suffer under the influence the ego at different levels.

Seun:
It's not my piece. It's a catchy song by John Lennon. I certainly don't think religion is the world's only problem. If the whole world drops religion, human beings will find new things to fight over. Political ideologies, favourite colors, etc. The song is just meant to remind us of the divisive nature of religion.

Uyi Iredia: You had better expand on this ego a bit. It would be better you attribute this ego STRICTLY to man and not religion. Man taints religion with ego. I wish I could discuss with you on how the Christian God is precisely the source of the immortal YOU. Your first mistake is assuming the Christian God is illegitimate because of His ego & capacity for evil. Your second mistake is in not realising that your immortal self is born but never dies. This is by virtue of the fact that you realise your immortal self. God OTOH by His very nature is immortal and is the one that was never born and will never die by virtue of the fact that His (or its) existence is infinite.
