Reviews

[Mark Marchon]

Objectifies what I feel is destroying the earth even though a lot has changed since published. Can't stay objective anymore about religion's effects on society. World is fragmented by what one thing?
Money first then religion. I am a Christian but am starting to favor a world without any.
