Comments on: A step closer to the universe http://bligbi.com/2007/04/25/a-step-closer-to-the-universe/ The ramblings of a non-apologetic militant atheist mom doing time in the lonestar state on atheism, religion, feminism, politics and current events.

Conservative Christians would try their hardest to bring "the message of Jesus" to these heathens. I'm more inclined that they would label them heathens and then want us to destroy them, backed by the powers at be who might think we could benefit economically and/or politically from "liberating" their natural resources. It would certainly call into question the concept that the Universe was created for man and man alone and our "special and unique divinity" nonsense.

Then Haliburton would be sent to rebuild.
