i usually ask the idiots that love everything "natural" and hate wester medicine what the life expectancy of people was at the beggining of the 20th century and what it is now....i ask them what has changed in that century....and they mostly refuse to admit it...
One of the most irrational of all the conventions of modern society is the one to the effect that religious opinions should be respected....That they should have this immunity is an outrage. There is nothing in religious ideas, as a class, to lift them above other ideas. On the contrary, they are always dubious and often quite silly.
