Why is the world so concerned about a group of geriatric old men choosing the next leader of their anachronistic death-cult? If they want to do it, fine – just don’t report it on the evening news as though it’s of any importance to anyone, particularly at a moment when the other items of the bulletin are so concerning. Moreover, for the leader they end up selecting to then speak of somehow being a force for reconciliation and peace, when religion is perhaps the most divisive and oppressive socio-political phenomena there is, really takes the biscuit. As I have said before, it really is time humanity grew out of such idiocy; for such matters to be treated with such solemnity and importance by the evening news broadcasters just reinforces an authority which was neither earned nor deserved.
