To Put Things Rather Bluntly....

"Religion is something left over from the infancy of our intelligence, it will fade away as we adopt reason and science as our guidelines." - Bertrand Russell

Now wait! This isn't mean to be mean or condescending. I love this quote, but it scares a lot of people and it offends because it's interpreted wrong. Analyze it without emotion, if you can, for what it is. Think back to when humans worshiped the sun because it rose everyday and gave them heat and grew their food, back when people with schizophrenia were believe to have evil demons inside of them, when men made things up because we didn't understand our world as innately as we do know. This was before all the science and knowledge and proven and natural wonder that we now understand on the planet. Thoughts?
