I don't know (II)

[So Much So little]

As a 'non-believer' I think there's a fairly solid correlation between one's tolerance of religion and how much one's been exposed to it. I've had a lot of bad experience with religion and having grown up in a strictly religious household can see the far reaching destructive powers it has. Having had these experiences my support for religion is pretty much at 0, though I try to be tolerant of whatever views people may have. 

I've also noticed lately that science is sort of becoming it's own religion. People seem to be putting their trust in it as if it's some irrefutable belief system whose discoveries - whether proven or not proven - must be followed. Added to that the ridiculous idea that science holds the keys to all the problems in the world and if left to it's own devices would eventualy fix everything. Of course the history of science shows that current thought is most often completely wrong and later disproved and that a lot of scientific innovation has made things worse not better. Not to say Im anti-science by any stretch, just that I start to get a little scared when I hear people talking about it like I've heard people talk about religion.

In my opinion the best thing is a healthy dose of uncertainty, no matter what your beliefs are. But it's unfortunate that uncertainty is a quality disparaged in such a fast paced world.
