We, the human race, may never have the opportunity to "evolve" into a higher intelligence/consciousness/whatever. We have, I believe, finally gotten to the point where our technology will soon be capable of destroying us. Which, might not be a bad thing. Look at where we came from and who we came from as humans and you can understand that what took nearly 6 million years to evolve devolved in less than 15,000 years. Today the "caliphate" is running hard and fast right behind us and we, are running fast and hard away from a formalized religious culture. That is irony.
Religions were a way by which those that led the small bands and communities of humans used to teach, direct and control the more animalistic needs of the members. When the bands ceased to exist and the communities grew very large, the leaders used religion additionally to control all aspects of life for their members.
But, no matter how many gods, one or many, we as homo sapiens, needed then, and need now, the time to evolve to a better level of humaness in order to put aside the hatred and murder that goes on daily is gone. There are too many, too ignorant, too hateful who refuse to use their brains for anything more than money, power and killing. Beam me up Scotty!
We, the right side of the blogosphere, need to keep up the pressure daily on all the dinosaur MSM and the politicians of every stripe. Most are still not getting "it": the Internet has made it possible to preserve for posterity what really, actually went down. Not 100% yet, but it is getting there. Nothing can be hidden easily anymore. Who a person is will show up because it is impossible to be "someone" else all the time. That is the reason CNN, or Hillary plants or Bubba continue to behave in their way, they and their supporters and staffers truly believe that we, the American people, will be largely ignorant of their mistakes, lies and deceit. Only our daily pressure for them to "fess" up will turn the tide, possibly. This includes our side as well. Time will tell.
