Whoa. The 'hate' post kinda fell into religion. Religion, for me, is actually one of my top five 'hates,' along with beauracracy, and politics. All three have been bloated WAY beyond what's useful. Yes, i agree that religion has a purpose - to scare or entice the individuals of a group/society to follow the 'normal' path. However, when it gets loaded down with tradition, it becomes unbound from the society as a whole, and rules that may make sense several centuries ago, may not any longer. And, with nothing but fuzzy evidence of some higher conciousness, and an almost insanely egotistical view that of ALL the planets in all the galaxies, it would be interested in *us,* makes me wary of the whole religion thing. Maybe when they start making sense, i'll come back.
Sorry, folks, if i've stepped on some toes, but that's my opinion. I'm interested in hearing other opinions, though. I'm not close-minded, just skeptical.
