The way your speaking/thinking you do seem to me to look a tad down on it. Forgive me if I`m wrong.I don't think Athiesm is better than Religion or vice versa. I just think that the reason for being a good person is and worse respectively. I respect the morals of the religious, I just think that they don't need the religion to be good. And that with the fact that religion means giving up science makes me against religion. I am against religion, however I do not look down on religion or disrespect it.
To each their own. I believe in the right to believe what you wish. I just also think that the blind faith required by most mainstream religions diminishes the potential of human kind. I think eventually religion will be washed out of our society through the process of evolution. On the other hand maybe not. We will never see it in our lifetimes.
Except I have read that the current generation of humans may have the option of immortality. YES, you heard me right, science is making headway in anti aging cures. Maybe not immortality but signifigantly extending the length of your life. I don't want to live forever but 100 years is far far far too short a time to see the things that I want to see.
People can be viewed by their light. There are the light people, they create the light. There are the mirror people, they reflect the light. Finally, there are the insect people and they blindly follow the light.
I think you can only blame religion so far. A lot of "not properly religious" people use god exists as a way to not think too deeply as they don`t want to. Take religion out and they still won`t magically spring into max potential and run around researching/doing things.
Whichever idea you create, you will always have these insects blindly and improperly following the light. Thats just how it is. The ones who are following science blindly are usually the complete Hedonists
The way your looking at religion, I could look at Rap or "Gangsta Style" and say its derailing our youth into being well.. you know what I mean. Thats not the issue though, they are going to "derail" whatever you do. They would just "derail" into other ways if the picture was something else... They don`t see a point
Its just important that everyone does their best and plays their part. The main idea doesn`t really matter
Or are you going the idealistic Stephen Hawking way?
