| | Excellent essay, Tibor! A few related thoughts ...
I know an environmentalist, and she's freezing in northern Minnesota -- because of high heating costs (but Alaska is safe from mans' dirty hands).
I know a devout Jehovah's Witness, and she's a morally-muddled, rule-breaking opportunist (but repenting during the 1000-year Armageddon, ought to guarantee her eternal and infantile life on earth -- under the fatherly rule of King Jesus and the 144,000 chosen elders).
And I know a Christian Scientist, and she's all covered with skin lesions like a damned leper (sadly, she must feel that she's not praying hard enough -- or that she actually deserves this state of affairs).
Take these 3 familiar cases, and mutliply them by 100 million -- and I think I can see the scope of importance that your essay casts.
