Religion: The Medical Shampoo of the Masses?

<"History does not record anywhere at any time a religion that has any rational basis. Religion is a crutch for people not strong enough to stand up to the unknown without help. But, like dandruff, most people do have a religion and spend time and money on it and seem to derive considerable pleasure from fiddling with it."

--Robert A. Heinlein, from "The Notebooks of Lazarus Long."



Most of these sayings IMO are eminently sensible, as was Heinlein.

This bit, found on the way to the other quote, is also quite interesting. I had forgotten this stuff--haven't read "Friday" in years.

"Bad manners," eh? Uh oh.
