The idea for this one came to me just as I was lying down to go to sleep, as most of my ideas do.
It came to me when I started to think about Religion itself and how it seems that it's been the cause of a great deal of misery, suffering, and holding back actual progress in any society. My evidence for this is Northern Ireland, Kashmir, The MIddle East, Abortion, Stem Cell Research, Gay Marriage, The Spanish Inquisition, The Scopes Monkey Trial, the Salem Witch Trials, and the World Trade Center. It gives me the real profound notion of how much Religion has done to human civilization. It has inhibited our actions and our decisions out of fear of some intangible parent figure who is personified in some pias clergyman who holds everyone in the grip of fear of eternal damnation or whatever punishment that may lie ahead.
