Religion, reality, belief

One of the outcomes was that children grew up being indoctrinated, and unquestioningly yielding to the group pressures imposed by conformist adults. Fortunately education today is much more inquiring by nature, and places emphasis on unfettered reasoning, challenging the truth of new information presented to students. Perhaps this will see an increase in the rejection of religion by our society.

If you want something to happen, try to understand the distinctions between religion, reality, and belief. If you want to prevent something from happening, then discover just what could cause an undesirable outcome, and take steps to counter its effect. 

Don’t rely on religion or some fictitious “being”. As many home improvements suggest, “do it yourself”.  

And in so doing keep in mind Henley’s line, “I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.”
