  1. When I was about ten years of age, an eight year old girl of the Catholic faith (who knew that my mother was a Protestant), approached me and said, "The priest said that Protestants go to hell," and then she smiled, as she added, "but I didn't believe him." We became the best of friends, because we didn't allow religion to come between us. That was a huge lesson for me. HUGE. Even so, it took me until age 70 to leave all religion behind, and to at last be able to feel whole, just as I am. I am now 82, and the last 12 years, free of all those dogmas, have been by far, my best. I now believe as did Stephen Hawking (before he died), that the universe always existed, no creator involved.

  2.  @llll-mp3ci  If a scientist is asked the question, “Do you believe that the universe was created,” and the scientist answers, “Yes,” that is not critical scientific thinking. That is “I accept as truth, what I was taught in my personal religion.”

  3.  @llll-mp3ci  From the book … THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON PARASITES ... How Tiny Creatures Manipulate Our Behavior and Shape Society ... author ... Kathleen McAuliffe Perhaps prejudice will subside as more folks grow distrustful of their moral institutions and rely on them less often. Perhaps people will start taking probiotics instead of Prozac. It's hard to predict the future. Only this much is certain: Parasites are woven into our psychology and the very fabric of our being. Indeed, we are more microbe than human. We can be confident that this radical new vision of ourselves will open a world of fresh opportunities.
