Ask the Questions (with an Added Jab at the US Government)


Just because something is unexplained, doesn’t mean it must be god’s work. Everything has an earthly explanation — even if we haven’t figured it out yet. Nothing just happens — there’s always a cause or reason.

New discoveries are being made every day and it’s not a miracle. Let’s give the doctors and scientists credit and support their work. They — not god — are making our lives better.

The most admirable trait of good scientists, doctors, scholars, and others making a difference is that they’re not afraid to ask the questions. “God’s work” is not an answer anyone should settle for. Curiosity should be embraced, not squashed with a blanket response from religion. They keep it vague to cover all bases.

Religion has always been about giving power to a corrupt few to control the masses. They were never in the business of explaining the world or answering big questions. They were never there to help. 

Funny. I feel the same about the current system of government in the US. You got to admit, there are a lot of parallels.

    They were never there to help. … I feel the same about the current system of government in the US.

    Even as public health workers risk their lives to protect the rest of us?

    Please stop with the damn dumb Reaganisms!

      I was referring to politicians, greed, and capitalism, not public health workers. Public health workers are not exactly the fat cats at the top calling the shots. I discussed religion giving power to a corrupt few to control the masses. I was then implying that our system of government is similar — it’s corrupt, elections are bought, and the wealthy and powerful will do horrible things to stay in control. Seems pretty similar to me.

      “They were never there to help” means those in charge of religion are not really in the business of helping people. The same goes for our government. The wealthy few in charge are not there to help others.

      I am in no way shape or form a fan of Reagan.

      Sorry, I thought this was all a little more obvious.
