More people would believe in aliens. jesus thats worse. Sociologically the belief in a higher being has always helped people explain things, now that science does most of the explaining its not needed. Faith in something is always needed to cope with tragedy. Religion, the opiate of the masses, is both beneficial in this context but easily abused too. Clinging to their religion and guns was how Obama put it. When challenged with economic, health, life threatening problems it is religion that helps people cope. The flipside is control, keep people distracted by fantasy while science is staring them in the face. Personally i prefer the government to be held entirely accountable when they screw things up instead of reliance on higher being. Bring on anarchy i say, because atleast that might ensure something really gets done about it. |
