Religion - The good and bad of it...

"In law, good cops are good; rogue cops are bad. In medicine, good doctors are good; quacks are bad. But in religion, strangely, everything is somehow good; nothing is essentially bad. This is self-deceived nonsense, and we can no longer afford it" (Don Richardson)

It is so essential that we as humans make sure that what we believe is true and not just a set of ideas. The law of gravity is true - whether I believe in it or not - but my belief in it can change the consequences of my actions dramatically. The end of human life is not the time to try to explore the validity of my beliefs...
