Indeed. Indeedlydeed. Much like evolution theory after disposing of the erroneous Piltdown Man, reality makes a lot more sense once you remove the god fossil. It's an unnecessary encumbrance, an albatross around society's neck. It's like driving about with the handbrake on and wondering why you're not really making much progress. Remove that brake and who knows where we could end up?
