mk/ibr“Religion is based, I think, primarily and mainly upon fear. It is partly the terror of the unknown and partly, as I have said, the wish to feel that you have a kind of elder brother who will stand by you in all your troubles and disputes. […] A good world needs knowledge, kindliness, and courage; it does not need a regretful hankering after the past or a fettering of the free intelligence by the words uttered long ago by ignorant men” Bertand Russell.
I think that TV channels airing superstitions, and other kind of unscientific material ignore the entire progress mankind has achieved through rigorous investigation and research. These channels give us a feel of still living in dark ages. No wonder some where in some area, a group of people overpower some fragile soul declare her a witch and burn her fingers in boiling oil pan to prove against it.
