What If?

I think that just because you call something a religion, does not necessarily make it true. It just sad that people make a feel good decisions based on emotional impulse, and then lacking any fact, choose to enforce that decision on everyone else. Where would we be if Galileo had been supported instead of jailed? Where would we be if women had equality and blacks had freedom 100 or 200 years earlier? Where would we be if stem cell research had the full backing of the government 10 years ago? Where would the human race be if it was not shackled by religious dogma and misguided morals based on stone aged thinking?

How about we put “faith” where it belongs and get on with the business of making life better for our fellow humans?
