Just A Thought ~ WHEN WE ARE MORE MATURE AS A SPECIES

"I believe it would be considerably healthier for us to dare to live without a reason for many things than with reasons that are simplistic."

~ M. Scott Peck, American Inspirational Writer ~

And how more simplistic can you get than to believe that if you kill and die for your religion, you will go immediately to Heaven? Without such a belief, suicide-bombers ~ misguided missiles ~ would think twice before doing what they do; their beliefs are the reason for their actions. Religion often makes people worse instead of better? In the future, when we have matured more religions that teach and instill hatred will be made illegal, and we will be taught and helped to understand, in school, that we should do what is right simply because it's the right thing to do, and not with the idea of getting something back later on; we will be taught to accept responsibility for whatever we choose to do, without blaming others.
