The challenge of our age is to understand the complex social, historical, political, and economic factors that have led to a world that is more bitterly divided and socially fragile than at any time in recent memory.

"Science and religion are not only in conflict – even at 'war' – but also represent incompatible ways of viewing the world." #Science #Religion #Faith #Reason #Dissonance
Science and religion can be compartmentalized within a single mind (humans are adept at this) but not intellectually reconciled. If you aim to be consistent, you have to choose. theconversation.com/yes-ther… via @ConversationUS

In 2019, bans on ritual slaughter in Flanders & Wallonia will mean almost all of Belgium is set to join forward-thinking Scandinavian countries in banning the cruel medieval practice of non-stun ritual slaughter.
We want the UK and countries across Europe to follow that example.
