Lesslie Newbigin called it: "The first great imperial project for human unity, which ends, as all imperialisms, in confusion and alienation."

"I heard another voice from heaven, saying: Go out from her, my people; that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and the Lord hath remembered her iniquities."
And the smoke of her burning shall rise up forever...

You are welcome to disagree with me and with each other. Civil debate is a valuable way to test and exchange ideas. Do keep it civil, though. Any really offensive craziness will either be held up as an example of What We Don't Stand For, or deleted.
