Cyril - I am by no means anti-globalization. Globalization is an inevitable fact and nothing short of a nuclear holocaust can prevent it. My concerns relate to which religion will win out over all the others and take its rightful place as the world's one true religion. The only other alternative is ...

If you look closely at religious institutions, you will find they could easily be defined with the Inc. designation. Catholics Inc. or Muslims Inc. or Jews Inc. and so on and so on.
