"The most important fact Faith has to be without reasoning." said Knox
As we travel through time we as a species will find religion, or rather the respect we have for it and the power it holds, dwindling. The more globalized the average person becomes, learning about others beliefs and the justifications for them, the more these religions will crumble greater and greater at the edges until only the hard core rump of believers are left who subscribe to the statement above.
They will be seen for what they are and we can finally get on with the job of living and improving our lot and truly respecting humanity. They will be seen as the myths they truly are, in the same category as the Norse, Greek, Roman and Aboriginal gods etc
The Iranian use of religion is just an exercise in power, whatever tool is handy at the time. It is the antithesis of the phrase 'there is no compulsion in religion'
Please note I never mentioned Islam or Muslims once, they are just lumped in with all the other unreasoned ( sometimes unreasonable) faithful.
I don't go to mythical places with strange men.
