INTRODUCTION.
What influence does religion have on world events and
human freedom? When people first crawled out of caves and
started to think, they had no other guidelines for
thinking than the natural environment around them. Later
thinkers thought about thinking itself, and developed
complex mental tools to plot the course of mental
evolution. Thousands of years before modern science,
mental insights formed the basis for future social
development. Leaders presented these insights to their
followers as REVELATIONS which formed the basis for the
first religious claims. These original claims were molded
into DOGMA by later generations. Modern social,
political, and government institutions are all based on
these early ideas. Any cracks, flaws, or discrepancies
have been resolved by intimidation and force to silence
any whistle blowers who questioned the "rightness" of the
existing views of the universe. The following links show
some of the efforts by those whistle blowers.
