God: A Reassuring Fable (Carl Sagan)

After some positive responses from my previous threads (as well as tons of Sagan love), I've decided to post yet another link to a famous someone-or-other. This time it happens to be the late, great Carl Sagan, famous Cosmologist and science educator. (1934-1996) [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtDjZ5TRQWI&feature=g-all-f]God: A Reassuring Fable.[/url] What do you think of this video, and more generally, Sagan [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_sagan]himself[/url], Flood?

[/quote] If you cannot see all the anti religion crammed into the OP, you shouldn't be watching videos about science.[/quote] I'm serious. Personally, I find nothing about the video or the OP offensive, so I'd like to see the part of it that you see as offensive. [/quote] It doesn't offend me, however, it implies that people need religion, and basically discards ideas that people have spent their entire lives adhering to as a "Security Blanket" going so far as to say "Maybe one day, we'll grow up and won't need it." That is a very unfair thing to say.
