religion is a crutch

humanity used it when we were primitive to explain the unexplainable. then the obvious happened: someone figured out you can use it to control others. it was all downhill after that. for all of our achievements and advancements, for all of the knowledge we have gained to explain the once unexplainable, we still limp through time on the crutch that is religion. bad habits die hard, and religion is one of the most addictive habits there is.

religion isn't to blame for everything, but can you imagine would it would be like to have stephen hawkings as president? or all leaders of the countries of the world?

a world ran by facts, and the scientific method, rather than hokey mysticism and dillusional self-righteousness... one can dream i suppose...
