As I age, I’m coming back to a form of religion. The main reason being that watching the relativism of today’s society has finally convinced me that there definitely is a right and a wrong. Knowing there is a right is close enough to God for me.

I’ve also learned a lot more about history now that I don’t have a professor teaching me. Finally discovered that most civilizations have depended on a religion (read ideology) of some sort to provide a moral compass for society.

Genghis Khan was not religious yet required that all subjects of his domain have a religion of some sort. He recognized that government is not the right vehicle to provide that. Apparently, Khan was a lot smarter than the bin Laden crowd.
