If I had to explain religion to people

[Jenfucius]

IMO for religion and science. I personally dont see them as "enemies" per say. I see science and religion as complimentry to one another.

Its all good!

So Richard Dawkin's atheism leaves you wanting, doesn't mean he is wrong. To truly flourish as a human being requires the consistent use of reason. I think kimbo99 makes a good point. People who play with fire, religion, often get burned. The reason for this is simply, the truth hurts and some don't want to hear it.

I think thats where alot of "Left Hand Path" (LHP)

occultists stand. They use logic, reasoning and evidience (or lack of evidence) etc.

Religion allows for exploration and maturity. Many will use it as a crutch, others as training wheels.

Nick, next episode, you have to explain how shamans and gnostics/ mystics like yourself fit into the religious picture. And why religions periodically burn them. Have your fire extinguisher handy.
