Most of us find it abhorrent to just hand that ability over to some religion or other. Why do we so willingly hand it over to a chemical?
Because chemicals are fun, religion is not.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
