Who are you kidding? How did the Catholic Church become so rich - selling "pardons" in the middle ages wasn't it?
Also - Jesus might have died poor, but he wasn't a christian. The first real christian was Constantine, who was his sugar-daddy, who created the whole church thing, was the head of the Roman Empire (and killed his son and his wife, by the way)
Religions are cultural viruses. Just like you have good and bad viruses, there are also benign and malign religions, but what links them all is self-propogation through culture.
Nobody seems to have noticed that in the background of all those BBC vids, there is a massive crane! Yes that's right - the thing is not flying at all - it's on a string hanging from a CRANE.
And then there's the crap he spouts about it - I'm disappointed in the BBC for believing this crank.
"We have this wonderful natural resource above us," Dr Moller told the BBC.
"Look at the sky above us - how many aircraft do you see? It's a great space that is not being utilised. That is what we plan to use. Cars are finished as a means of getting around. It's only a matter of time."
Reality is an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.
