What if We Did Shoot all of the Religious People...Into Space?

1. The planets population would actually be reduced to a sustainable level, probably 1 billion or so.

2. By sheer math, the average IQ would go up about 40 points.

3. 2/3rd of the Republicans Party would be gone.

4. Stem cell research would kick into high gear, hundreds of afflictions would probably be cured in the next 20 years rather than 40.

5. America would be a respectable country on the world theater again.

6. AM radio would be silent.

7. The megachurches could be converted into utterly un-Christian things, like homeless shelters.

8. The EPA would actually protect the environment rather than auctioning it off to industry in order to hasten the rapture.

9. We wouldn't need to pump 20 billion a year into Israel any more, because they wouldn't need to defend themselves against anyone.

10. The only nuclear threat we'd have to worry about was N. Korea. We could give them the 20 bil from Israel, but instead of giving it to Kim himself as a bribe, airdrop small dnomination Korean bills over the towns and villages, along with food and clothes and weapons, so they could over throw him themselves.

11. One that note, the trillion a year we spend on national defense, could be cut by 1/50th, leaving the rest for education, development of renewable energy sources, water desalinization, and generally restoring the health of the planet.

12. There are a gazillion more benefits, but I'm tired of thinking about this.
