Yesterday, in my philosophy class, we were talking about Greek mythology. It is fascinating to know how well developed each god is. For instance I heard about how Zeus challenged his father the titan Cronus for the supremacy of the universe . Moreover, since we live in a polytheistic world, it is important to know as much as we can about other cultures. I grant you Catholicism is prominent, however, not everywhere. I look derisively at people who take any religion seriously. We have nothing for sure about them. Thus, that`s what it means to be human. Besides, we cannot let religions brainwash us.

Look at Jehovah´s witness for that matter. They show effusive praise about something they don´t even understand. One can use a styptic pencil to stop blood loss. Though, what can we use to stop stupidity. We I´d say learning is the best way in which someone can realize they´re being controlled. Of course this stuff happens more in the third world. Nonetheless, I bet there is a few fanatics in developed nations as well. Anyhow, since the Catholic church works alongside governments in Latin America, it is impossible for them to even consider opprobrium from the press.  Not that I want to write a treatise on theology. Notwithstanding, do I want get my point across. In order chide any religion for something we think they`ve done wrong, it is always better to understand them fully. Opening your mouth unbidden to say anything dumb against them doesn't make sense. I think man created faith, so that his hopes for a better world wouldn't´ wither away. People need something to grasp on. They wouldn´t be able to accept the unpalatable truth if they didn´t have faith. Lastly, we may not know whether or not the Elysian Fields are real. It seems arcane to us. What we can infer though, is that there is nothing to be sure about until we actually see it. Whither future religious beliefs? I don´t know.
