i dunno what its given you, apparently nothing, and honestly i dont think it is suppose to give you anything. by definition alone its given me : A set of principles or beliefs. Which, btw, sounds alot like what science gives you ?
science has given us food ? if anything science is making our food more and more dangerous to consume. science pollutes our water, and soil, and in turn pollutes the animals that live around that water and soil, and resulting vegetation.
food,medicine,housing, and education ( how the fuk did science give us education btw) gives us the moral character to enteract with other human beings in a civil fashion? I dont think so.
if anything science only gives us the means to destroy one another, at best. it teaches us nothing of kindness, and responsibility to our fellow man.
religion has its place for those who wish to believe in it, as does science, but they both offer us different things. if you want to believe in science, more power to you, if you want to believe in some david koresh type, more power. i think thats the wonderful thing about these "fairy tails", is that they are there for us to find something in ( including sciece ), whatever that something may be. does it hold us back as a race, i dunno, but i like to think that it does help those who find something in it feel better about the world, and help them to treat their fellow man better. not everything in science is proven, and not everything in religion is proven, some in both is "assumed", right ?
i seriously dont give a shit what any of you believe, dont believe, or what have you. believe what you want, im not here to condem you where ever or whatever. i just dont see how religion is doing anything to "hold us back", and none of you have, succinctly, or loquaciously, explained to me how it does.
