You know I can't help but feel that although we live in really rather wonderful times right now for discovery and technical advancements
We also are stil quite socially and psychologically held back thanks to the continuing influence of judao/Christian dogma and muslamic ray guns, the biggest barriers to world wide happiness and war free days being this whole concept of sin and pleasurable indulgences being shameful, and in particular that those that do such things more so than ourselves deserve some kind of harsh intervention or punishment, not to mention this clueless concept that using scientific knowledge to advance us further into the role of being our own gods/masters and attempting never to have to let 'acts of god' control our destiny is somehow the very worst sin of all. We REALLY need to get rid of that shit for good someday.
Happily what with the internets n global communications n all, I think it can't be too long before we all start pulling together and learning the true nature of man and the right balance between work and play, sans politics, sin, n dogma.
Feckin hope so anyway...

For me religion is a symptom of the nature of the human mind.
We crave answers to questions and sometimes those answers arn't available yet.
I'ld be more worried if when people looked up at the accent night sky and saw the vast majesty of the universe didn't try and fill in the gaps.
Newton and Darwin were religeous and Einstein was an agnostic, and criticised atheism.
Religion is Lorem ipsum for the soul.
