Great post about religion vs survival

I just found this post and had to cite it here. It's a really well constructed argument for why we should put away this debate about religion and the One True God, and focus instead on using our brains (and science) to enhance our survival.

It's not reasonable to assume anyone is "out there" who will come rescue us at the last moment. We know what we need to survive; why don't we do it? My idea of god would want me to use the tools given to me--all of them, and in any ways I can imagine (and probably in ways I can't even imagine, yet). We're not animals with no volition or choice.

The universe doesn't give a damn about me, or us, or anyone or anything. It's actually hard to say that we care, either, but I know some of us do. Let's wake up, people.
