I'm always amazed at the disparity between how far we have come in some areas and how little has changed in others.

Despite the rapid pace of discovery, technological advances and the dramatic increase in our collective knowledge base people still believe in ghouls and goblins. Whether it is someone spewing nonsense about some mythical being at the center of a religion or so called prophets proclaiming the end of mankind is mere moments away I have to laugh at how completely ignorant we have remained.

But hey.... if believing in some kind of spiritual world dominated by gods and demons or placing faith in prophets, psychics, astrology, numerology or the existence of big foot makes your life more fulfilling... more power to ya.
