The Changing Face of Europe

The Changing Face of Europe So we are the last true Europeans in the sea of changes and conflicting religions as old certainties disappear and we bewildered look at a world we don’t understand. Israel is drowning in a demographic pool and their fight to remain pure Jewish is doomed. Christianity is singing its last hymn and churches in the future, if not razed to the ground will be places for tourists to marvel over. Empires and countries might rise and fall like the tide. Cultures too have their days before discarded as quaint but useless for a new time’s need. But we are not totally doomed, the new society, perhaps not as white skinned as us, will hopefully adopt the ancient idea of democracy; to predict the coming is impossible, but one thing will always remain: Man’s hunger for freedom.
