Nature abhors a vacuum. Christianity has all but vanished from the western European landscape. Some kind of religion is bound to takes it place. Scary.

Nature abhors a vacuum. Christianity has all but vanished from the western European landscape.

I love that concept though I usually think of it in political terms. You are right though, there is a huge vacuum in the soul of Europe.

A few years ago I dated a rather pretty girl from Finland and she told me she had one basic rule..."no religious talk, no religion."

Being Southern, I stopped seeing her shortly thereafter but I always wondered where that idea came from.

I think you are right about the vacuum. But I suggest the vacuum is filled with anger and the thing that anger defends against...depression.

I don't think Europe will fall for Islam. I think it will respond violently against Islam. Of course, I could be wrong.
