Science Saved My Soul.

Yes, many of those thinkers to whom I owe my mental freedom were religious, like Newton, a Christian, who believed God made the Earth but who then showed me why the Earth would have formed without a god's help. Or Plank and Schrodinger, two more Christians, who believed God ruled the Universe but showed me how God could not control a single electron. The discoveries these and many other people made, the laws they are famous for, are the very things that make gods getting humans pregnant, or angels whispering to prophets in caves, look infantile. I could never and would never question their intelligence. Their honesty and intellectual consistency are a different matter.

Weird...

I can stand on the shoulders of giants and see what even they seemingly could not.

I'm not against the Creator(s), if they exist, if they ever existed. I'm not against the search for the Creator(s). What blows MY mind is that people think religion has anything to do with it at all.

When you're injured, you need stitches. But eventually the wound heals enough that you don't need the stitches anymore, and keeping them leads to more scarring.

Religion has already served its purpose. Philosophy and science replace all of the good it had to offer, EXTENDS that good, and DOESN'T come with all the bad.

It's time to take the stitches out. Religion has served its purpose. It's time to put it in the museum and reminisce about its former glory as we move on to better things.

By all the thumbs up I'm guessing that I indeed am not the only one who cried. Let us all hold hands in a circle around the universe, tears streaming down our face, as we bask in the extraordinary beauty of existence....

Because religion is nothing like that.

It destroys your mind. And, worst still, it destroys the minds of children you indoctrinate. It exalts death and suffering. Supports immoral acts. Opposes progress. Cripples morality. It has no answers and no truths.

It deserves nothing but contempt.

Not religion has make what we are now. The basics of religion are one. People interprite religion and basics of religion in a other way, in their OWN way = nothing to do with the basics of a kind of religion. One of the reason why people don't believe anymore and why people are distanced.
