The ending of the world

What's half scary and half silly is that I've got this terrible feeling that something as off the wall as religion, which believers view as their salvation, will ultimately cause the destruction of the human species.

Is this what is was like before the dark ages? The political climate appears saturated with religious mumbo jumbo. Science is being ignored, or worse laughed at.

Perhaps this line of thinking is too depressing.

On a more uplifting note, I'd like to recommend a book Mind Wide Open by Steven Johnson. A fascinating look into the human mind. Good stuff. I get my books in audio downloads by Audible.com. Tell them "jueqel" sent you.
