Hold it...  In the first paragraph you admit the world is in a mess and that
most of us are fools.  Then you tell us we have to rely on ourselves or
jump off a bridge, i.e. you're telling a lot of us to jump off a bridge.
If we and the world are in a mess, and as I believe, getting worse as time
goes by, I wouldn't rely on us to "fix it all up".  You say in the first
paragraph that maybe a "being" created this mess called the world.  A bunch
of beings did that, namely us, good ol' Homo Sapiens.  It probably was a
pretty nice and sane place before we messed it up.

I don't read net.religion so mail comments, flames et al.
