The Only Difference Is That Religion Is

A Lot Of People Hate My Skepticism, And I Think I Understand Why. The Psychics Offer Wonders And Endless Possibilities In A World That Often Seems Difficult And Mundane. They Promise Health, Wealth, Wisdom, Eternal Life. But If You Examine The Record, It's Not The Psychics But The Hard-nosed Scientists Who Have Actually Delivered The Things That Improve Human Life. And, To Me, Science Describes A World Far More Interesting Than Any Psychic Fantasy. It's A Good World -- Not Perfect -- But It's Ours. So We'd Better Learn To Live With It, The Way It Is.

To Make Sure That My Blasphemy Is Thoroughly Expressed, I Hereby State My Opinion That The Notion Of A God Is A Basic Superstition, That There Is No Evidence For The Existence Of Any God(s), That Devils, Demons, Angels And Saints Are Myths, That There Is No Life After Death, Heaven Nor Hell, That The Pope Is A Dangerous, Bigoted, Medieval Dinosaur, And That The Holy Ghost Is A Comic-book Character Worthy Of Laughter And Derision.

The Market For Nonsense Is Infinite.

Religion Is Based Upon Blind Faith Supported By No Evidence. Science Is Based Upon Confidence That Results From Evidence - And That Confidence Can Be Modified And/or Reversed By Further Observations And Experimentation. Science Approaches Truth, Closer And Closer, By Hard Dedicated Work. Religion Already Has It All Decided, And It's In The Book. It's Dogma, Unchangeable, And Unaffected By Reality And Whatever Facts We Come Upon In The Real World.

Everyone Who Believes In Telekinesis, Raise My Hand.
