Quote:To myself, that seems like a polite, but very limited view of that subject. It is a nice way of saying that we should do away with religion, or a precursor thought in that train.It was indeed a polite way to say that.
People believing in things without any evidence is a bad thing in and of itself, imo. That is a problem, because it allows people to believe in ridiculous things... often without questioning them, or under-questioning them. I call the extreme end of faith 'religion'... and I think that it is bad for everyone that some people believe that religion speaks true.
I am not saying that it can't at times be good... but usually the opposite holds true, or it is otherwise benign. I don't mean to exclude the fact that good and bad things happen with and without it... but it should be noted that religion and fanaticism are both inherently bad... but that they can each do good things.
You don't talk too much, and there is no need to thank me for listening
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
