A final rant (haha, who am I kidding?): One of my objections to organized religion is that it gives people an "easy answer". Follow this book and this person, and you're a good person and that's all you have to do in life. People who do that don't contribute to mankind's Understanding, although typically the top scholars and "wise men" of various religious traditions do become skilled and advancing knowledge of the world, but that's because they're great thinkers, not because they follow a book, or other men, word for word.

Greetings, to all my fellow men.

I disagree with the first part, science and math are alot different than Philosophy. Math is the only source of what i would consider true knowledge, It's our own system, everything is 100% proven, and we can explain, build, and destroy the world with it. Sceince uses a little of the same but adds a lot of "theories" some are pretty good "atomic theory" some are pretty hookie... "the world is flat theory" ... but if you look at history the most commonly accepted theories are always getting rejected... the atomic theorey was rejected then it was back... makes me wonder if it's gonna get rejected again. Philosophy is ALL theory ... . Honestly .. you might hear a lot of groovy stuff in that class... but it's a waste of time.


Organized Religion is not easy ... try it... it's rather difficult. That's why there are so many Denomitation splits and such forth.
