Religion is a drug for the masses.
I say TV programs and societies that project distorted realities are more of a problem. Wonder what happens when you show violence and bad values to monkeys? You know what happens with pandas and porn.
Also, why do we have multitudes of people teaching the same subject? Could we just record and broadcast one person and standardize the lecture? Could make documentary style movies on subjects.
People would still go to school for tests, lab, sports, physical education, clubs and other activities. Should we set ultimate goals for education? Such as low cost, wide availability, modern curriculum (marriage, health, child rearing, cooking, gardening, etc.). Freedom of thought, yes. But we need to show people good examples and then let them decide.
Also, some one on TV said it first, but what's wrong with depression? If you are sane, you would be depressed at the state of the world. Just as long as you can live with the depression. You can be depressed and still feel good. You just go back and forth. You have to be good and do good, though.
Does any one have the feeling that modern society idolizes wealth and fame? Then you get attention and respect. Sure, they recognize good people, but the balance is lacking.
I am limited mentally. We all need to think on this and other things.
Inanimate matter, living things, concepts (if you prefer, spirits), then some other things. All a part of God.
