Reality hurts sometimes, but that doesn't make it any less true.

Religion was created by people in an attempt to explain the world before we had better means. As a species, we should have seen through it long ago. But here we are still mired in it's antiquated ways.

It's a pity that saying what is true is somehow considered wrong.

I spent about ten years of my life detached from reality due to mental illness. When I recovered my senses (thank you very much modern medicine and science) I was very grateful and happy beyond belief for the end of my ordeal. The thing is, I didn't have a choice all of those years but to see the world from an insane perspective. My brain was fucked up. A lot of people on the planet with perfectly healthy brains are choosing to view the world from a delusional perspective. I can tell them from experience that in most cases that only causes more pain and suffering. I don't know why anyone would choose that...aside from being forced to for survival.
