http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-Ab3tlpvYA <---- Jung on Life after Death

I used to consider myself an Atheist, and still don't buy into this idea of heaven or hell. But after reading a lot of books and eating a lot of acid, i feel that science has become the new controlling religion, people are to scared to think outside this constrictive box they find themselves in. Religious belief has nothing to do with level of education, i know some very intelligent people that believe the bible is the true word of god... scary but it happens.

There is always something to be gleaned from various religions, ignoring them and blanketing them along with their believers as mentally deranged lunatics (altho some are) seems rather ignorant to me. Churches, temples, etc were once the places of higher learning, much like our uni's today. Personally i prefer to hear/read someone elses ideas, pass it through my "cynical motherf---er" filter and see what happens.

A few athiests' comments remind me of Jung's concept of the shadow. Maybe it's just something they hate within their own personality and refuse to accept?

What bugs me is these suckers that swallow a religion hook, line and sinker.
