And then one day you look in the mirror and you realize that you ain't you anymore. You're just another monster, and thanks to your actions, someone else will eventually become as warped and twisted as you. Never forget that the best of us are just the best of a bad lot. Being at the top of a pile of feces doesn't make you anything but shit like the rest. Never forget that.

Rojava Free State wrote:It depends what religion. Many eastern religions seek to explain the universe in an almost scientific way and encourage their followers to discover the truth about life on their own, which promotes education. Taoism is known for being a religion filled with chemists and botanists.
Islam and christianity...well, there's been Muslim and Christian scientists but for the most part, Islam and christianity's basic idea is "these are the facts, pray to God and don't question what we told you." It's why currently a lot of die hard Christians hate the theory of evolution, because it calls their religion into question

As for Daoism, I wouldn’t necessarily call it as a religion, but more of a philosophy, as it dicates only a certain way of life and not a heavenly being. For a religion closely intertwined with nature, maybe Shinto religion is a better example?

You're spending too much time around American Evangelists.
