BBC - Ant mega-colony takes over world

All is as I have been predicting for some time now. The social insects are positioning themselves for a take-over. In that fight, we loose. The only real threat to the insects are the robots. In the long run, world domination will go to one or the other, because peaceful coexistence is not possible between their two races. That is, until the aliens arive, at which time they will either band together or be utterly destroyed.

In the course of the meal, Jim turned to me and said, “Mark, do you know what the number one sin of the church in America is?” I wasn’t sure, and the question was rhetorical anyhow. “It’s not the plague of internet pornography that is consuming our men. It’s not that the divorce rate in the church is roughly the same as society at large.” Jim named two or three other candidates for the worst sin, all of which he dismissed. “The number one sin of the church in America,” he said, “is that its pastors and leaders are not on their knees crying out to God, ‘Bring us the drug-addicted, bring us the prostitutes, bring us the destitute, bring us the gang leaders, bring us those with AIDS, bring us the people nobody else wants, whom only you can heal, and let us love them in your name until they are whole.’
