I think people just need to feel less alone, by nature. So they make up some stories. Some really GREAT stories, but stories nontheless.

I don't think that religion, in itself, is a bad thing. Only when it is abused and used as a power device does it turn into something outright evil. People should be able to think for themselves, and religion is counterproductive to that point.

Well said. I can mirror my opinions with this. I merely see religion as a facet of hope to those who are really on the edge. I wouldn't call religion evil either, so long as it doesn't endoctrinate people through force or anything. So that would be a nay on the croyance thing.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
