I do, no secret there. I hold the organized Church responsible for many of the ills that beset us, least of which those little boys who grow up to be confused little men (no insult intended — been debatably lucky enough to have not one, but three of these victims as close friends throughout my life. It seems none of them will ever be truly happy, or trusting towards life).
If it weren’t for the Church, we’d have had the solutions for hundreds of years to one of the most intractable and aggravating problems in physics, and be light years ahead of where we are now (and who knows what implications that might have had for society). The calculations, which appear to have been successful, were painted over, deliberately, with Catholic religious art and pamphleting….
If it weren’t for the Church, we’d have genuine Polynesian culture to enjoy in its pristine condition, on all those islands. Who wouldn’t want that for a real vacation?
If it weren’t for the Church, maybe we might have managed to co-exist alongside a vibrant Native American culture that could teach us a thing or two about how to be really happy here on this continent, in a manner that could have lasted for hundreds of thousands of years, instead of maybe, if we’re exceedingly lucky, one thousand.
If it weren’t for the Church, women and their different strengths vis-a-vis mens’ would have been accorded equal respect, and would have influenced how our entire civilization proceeded — for the better, without a doubt.
Umm… I could go on for several more hours. Yeah, I carry just a little grudge here. (Not against the followers, necessarily, though they do help to empower this monstrosity — but the Church itself.)
