I read somewhere that in China one is not allowed to study religion until they reach the age of 18. After the last election I am in favor of a similar ban here.
It amazes me how many people in the world (not just the US) believe that some guy or gal in the sky can actually affect their lives. They make decisions based on that hypothesis every day. It is impossible to design a test to prove or disprove the hypothesis so I make my decisions based on what facts I can gather in a controlled society. What scares the bejesus out of me is the fact that our leader is consulting his particualr guy in the sky before making decisions that affect me and the rest of the nation. What if it is the wrong guy in the sky?
