I stumbled on EACPE just by coincidence. I am overjoyed to find there are people not giving up on imparting with the power of logic rationality and reasoning contrasting with religious dogmas that I have struggled for decades with disappointments and making enemies with friends and family members. I am 82 years old, tired of bigotry of the so-called religious scholars, allamas and mullahs etc inflicting venomous attacks on people who differ with their preachings. I almost gave up on my struggles until I saw the light that I am not alone in this struggle. Education of the masses is what is needed in Pakistan to sway people away from the ignorance embroiled with religious fervour over-shadowing the real world of science of Medicine, Engineering and Astronomy. I feel alive again.
We also need to educate people about the nexsus of army and mullahs for their vested interests.Though it would take light years to do so.
