If a fire in your kitchen called brought three fire trucks and three hours later the fire had spread throughout your house you would have doubts about the value of taxpayers funding the fire services.   Expecting religious talk and an indoctrination treadmill to hold back the avalanche of incivility, evil, and depravity is a pipedream we cannot deny.  Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday for the last thirteen centuries communities all over the globe are witness to Islamic, Jewish and Christian preaching, celebration and devotion and still every, every, society spirals into the abyss of human futility.

Edutainment fails grandly

Excuse me for saying we can do better with every succeeding generation, but excuse me also for seeing that we have not.  The echo chambers of religious zeal are woefully mired in supremacy jargon, featuring claims of older, wiser, and ultimate.  Are our weekend gatherings just simply rabbit holes? Very often the weekend exercises turn out to be a little more than entertainment or performance dressed up to look like education.  The failure is on a grand scale, and the three relevant practitioners are highly unlikely to see the ditch into which they have fallen.  We have to conclude that what happens in public is different from what goes on in private. Wisdom is not cute talk; it moves towards visible progress for all the people. Ask Solomon and watch Yeshua.
