See, if the Earth is flat, it was designed intelligently. I don't know by whom, but something intelligent. If any of the ancient cultures were onto something, there is certainly evidence of (in writing, art, monuments, empires built in dedication to) deities. If the Earth is flat, like the ancients thought it was, and intelligent designers exist, then our responsibilities as human beings would be a lot different than they are now. Right now, they say money makes the world go round. Well, what makes money go round? Narcissism. Self-obsession.

As a society we've become slaves to our desires. He who controls the money controls the people. We've allowed ourselves to become this way because our cultural ethics are completely polluted. We have nothing greater than ourselves to pay tribute to, so we fill that void with meaningless entertainment. That's my thoughts.
