I was doing some reading today and i stumbled across Plato's Allegory of the cave and it made me think of this thread again, and it made me think about my beliefs in general. How socrates is explaing the cave scenario to glucion is how i view religion. It's there as a way to cover up what is actually going on. the priests of the way back time were the puppeteers putting shadows on the wall making people think what the puppeteers wanted. The shadows are all the people are allowed to see because they are prisoners in that cave. I just believe that i am one of the prisoners that had the nerve to let go of the chains and look to see what was actually there and what was making the shadows on the wall.
