Even for the most educated person, it should be easy to see that...people are always looking for answers, not neccesarily the right one, but maybe the easiest to understand or accept...and as much as i agree with richard dawkins that is the one thing he fails to understand, human nature...which makes his arguments so incredibly biased its not even funny, he doesnt even attempt to explain the hold that religion has on society and history...cause he doesnt understand it...he just calls it stupid ( i agee! But i understand it)..which IMO makes him look like an idiot.
So because it's easier to be ignorant, that makes it okay?

Jeez, why don't we all just give up and go back to the dark ages?

So tragically backward...
