text: Well the way I heard the story was more in keeping with Catholic theology.  Prevailing sentiments has it that a few bands of Christian women kind of kept the Roman Empire at bay.  You know the Jesus thing and all, Peter and Paul.  The Roman catacombs the entire deal.  I know it is very complex but eventually the Roman gods were replace and monotheism became the rage.  So here we are.
  A planet that hates humans and a God that has broken his covenant with the Jews.  Mr. Richard Johnson Esq., the planet hates people and sees us as a minor problem.  God tolerates people but he does not like us either.  We have not always been here and the odds of any single human being going away is extremely high. The probability of humanity going away is high but I cannot bet on it because I won't be around to collect my winnings.  The conservations are delusional  but nice people.  They want to save the world. Very noble of them.  I just want social security and medicare to be around as long as I am.
