What is it about our society that makes people believe that vampires can rise from the dead, but Jesus couldn't? What is it that makes people think that the Catholic church wants to take us back to the dark ages - when a brief look at history will show you that Europe was carried out of the dark Ages by the Church?
What makes people think that the Church, which brought schools and hospitals and the scientific principle to Europe; is somehow against progress?
And why, why, oh why... Does everyone seem to think that Nelson Mandella started his inauguration speech with "our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate, our greatest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure?" words he never spoke in public... Or that Obama wrote his famous speech entitled 'just words'
Where has the human tendency to look a little bit deeper gone? That desire to do a bit of research and really discover for ourselves what is true, really, really, really true... And not just a passing fad or urban legend - have young people stopped believing anything is true, or can they just not be bothered to find out?
By the way, please don't take my word on the speeches, check them out for yourself.
