Obviously, Sagan was ignorant of the Catholic church and the abortion issue. For starters. That has undergone great and even weird changes over the centuries.

And when was the last time one has heard of Limbo or Purgatory? What were they? That's changed.

And what of St. Paul's comment about a "third heaven?"

Is El Lupo still officially listed as being in Hell along with Judas?


Now, from science we hear that FTL is not possible (an absolute). This is based on the Theory of Relativity, and "infinite mass" (in case anyone wants a "peer reviewed study"). Yet, SETI is still going on, even though if that is true intergalactic, or even interstellar, travel can never be practical.

And, Mr. Sagan, the fact that your kind gave us the H-Bomb and biological weapons willingly did not fill me with confidence in you or yours. Not to mention the radiation experiments and the racist Tuskegee experiments.

There may or may not be a god who may or may not be watching. But thanks to your kind, the governments most certainly are, everywhere, with satellites that can see almost anything anywhere.

"People who live in glass houses..."

The point here is that I do not trust or like the Sagans any more than the Pat Robertsons.
