World Leaders

World leaders together with US President Barack Obama and his counterpart Dmitry Medvedev, President of Russia are still negotiating over nuclear weapons disarmament agreement. In this 21st century, what our world leaders should already be negotiating about is not banning nuclear weapons but banning war itself. War has never solved anything, In fact , history shows, the end of each war only entailed the beginning of the next war. Indeed, war insures not world peace or global sanity, but only that nations will continue to live under a welter of organized hatreds and threats of mutual extermination. Imperialism, Catholicism, Capitalism, Fascism, Nazism, Communism, Terrorism, and the rest of whatever fanaticism - all have had their opportunities to put an end to war. Each, however, with their respective beliefs failed. Miserably. In this 21st century, it is time for intelligent unbelief to encourage Humanism as inspired by Atheism. Indeed, it is time that we speak for mankind in this world. Our World. Listen to Bertrand Russell, Atheist, the greatest philosopher of the 20th century: "Remember your humanity, and forget the rest. If you can do so, the way lies open to a new Paradise; if you cannot, nothing lies before you but universal death." Poch Suzara, Atheist
