7. Exactly

I don't give sciency stuff a pass because there's no supernatural woo. I am skeptical of everything but try to remain as open as possible.

I like the analogy made between religion and penises. They're both fine to have, make use of, etc, but it is impolite to wave them around in public and you should never expose them to other people's children. Your own children? Metaphor works further. There's innocent and bad ways for kids to see the family jewels, same as innocent and bad ways to give them religion.

The funeral services industry really has you over a barrel, right? Same with health. There was a guest on the Daily Show talking about that. You ain't exactly fit to comparison shop when having a heart attack, right? You don't know what your bill is unless you survive and then you can hardly negotiate. The interesting point he made is that this is precisely the opposite of a free market and should be the very thing to have market advocates up in arms. But they aren't, are they? The captive market serves them just fine.
