Hello Sultan. Your post...." We are in a temporal vortex "....

I would agree with just about all you have said and all those things you mentioned will likely continue. About your very last statement....." In the meantime, one root cause of the flash point, Israel/Palestine conflict will continue.. Israel will continue with settlements.. and so on "....

I agree that Isreal/Arab conflict is one of the flash points and is the main reason or excuse to spread the conflict world wide but I believe it is only an excuse.

IMO the root cause of world conflicts, wars, mass murders,etc. etc.is organized religions.

It seems to me that world class religions believe that their God is the the real God, their God is the most merciful God, their God is the kindest God...or they were the first religion so they are the only true religion of God or they were the last religion so that makes them the only true religion of God. People who were born into these religions truly believe that they are correct...they really have no choice.

IMO. if all organized religions could somehow magically disappear from planet Earth so would most of the worlds conflicts.

Religious hatreds have been with us for thousands of years and still are with us. Thousands of people through out history have fled their homelands because of religious hatreds. Many of those people that fled their homelands ended up here in the west and with them came their religious beliefs and hatreds.

Well anyway IMO the single biggest problem facing planet earth is religious hatreds.
