 Remember: There is power in numbers.
 "Organized religion" is a hiding place for people who are scared
 to learn about this universe.  People want to believe ther is an
 "after-life" that they can concieve of now!  Why do people sit 
 around and wonder what will happen to them when they die?  They
 are missing NOW!!  You cannot live thinking about tomorrow (ie.
 your death, if your reading this you arn't dead), or hiding in the
 past (ie. religion based on good ol' books that tell the story).
 If people put as much effort into their existance now as a citizan
 of this planet, this universe, then maybe there would be no 
 overpopulation, starvation, torture, war, etc., etc.,etc. -------
 But, you know, human nature won't allow it.  Huh?

 Maybe I'll just start a religion ;-)

 I claim to know knothing.
