16. Religion is for people...
Religion is for people who live in fear. They are terrified of uncertainty and death and will believe the most bizarre crap imaginable to avoid the truths of life.

Here is a great quote from Ken Kesey:
"The answer is never the answer. What's really interesting is the mystery. If you seek the mystery instead of the answer, you'll always be seeking. I've never seen anybody really find the answer-they think they have, so they stop thinking. But the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom. The need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer."
