    I’m beginning to think that organized religion as opiate for the people was not as bad as an idea as I once thought.

      How about religion-backed traditional garlic treatment? Not joking. A lot of pseudoscience is backed by dogma.

        Yeah, it wasn’t really a serious idea, however if the crazy gets moderated by a sane and respected member of the community, that speaks about the virtue of solidarity and gives aid to the crazy ones (the way religion used to be, where I’m from)…

        Im still staunchly against it, but people ‘doing their own research’ had to learn to read first, that’s preferable.
