That´s a question put forth by blogger Cylar over at Rotten Chestnuts. And it´s a good question, one with no easy answer, yet if one does ponder it, the answer does hold an explanation to our fractured secular society, and changing cultural landscape.

I think the answer is very simple: Nobody wants them. There are cultural reasons and commercial reasons, to be sure, but why are these the reasons?
