That's what bothers me about religion, if you use the "wait and see" approach you'll end up being tortured for eternity by their loving God. Simply, you have to toss out logic and reason and use blind faith. To me that's obvious the approach to control humans with utter fear. Certainly religion worked to control the uneducated masses and progress humanity in the dark and early ages, but you think we could step beyond that.

I love my beautiful first daughter but her and her husband have become very fundy and religious. I don't argue with her because I don't see it my place to harm her beliefs, but I'm concerned for my 4 granddaughters that are being so indoctrinated in home and church. I would rather her to teach them to start thinking for themselves.
