Just IMO....
My answer. No religion is more legitimate than any other...the "legitimate" ones are just those that are popular.
However, I am not totally against religion. I once watched a video (I believe on this forum) where the speaker talked about how humans are the only life form on the planet that can make decisions on very elaborate problems with such a large population. Basically his idea was that society needs both liberals and conservatives in order to make the "correct" decision. He was also saying that humans would not have evolved at all if these psychological differences didn't exist.
Although I'm agnostic, I'm starting to feel the same way about religion. Can society make the correct decisions if there is only 1 viewpoint? Can we evolve (as a whole) if there is no "give and take"? Do we (humans) "create" these religions unknowingly so that the species can evolve as a whole? I don't know.....but it has me thinking a lot.
I'm still pissed off though that tax dollars pay for a seperate school system.....but that's another thread.
