WHEN DID YOU GET YOUR LAST FIX?

While I was watching Larry King live on television, he was interviewing three clerics. A Rabbi was asked this question, УWhy do bad things happen to good people and good things happen to bad people?Ф

His response reflected the thinking of clerics of a thousand years ago. УThose who are good will be rewarded in the next life and conversely, those who are bad will be punished with the fire of hell.Ф This concept was taught to serfs so they would not rebel against their deplorable circumstances.

Religion insults the intelligence of any thinking person. I suppose people are satisfied with childish concepts that give satisfaction to those who are terrified by reality. It seems to me that the RabbiТs answer is like a shot of heroin; it dulls the mind and becomes addictive.
