I was going to say this too. Albeit it had a silver lining. Before Freud opened us up to analyzing our human condition, religion as a device served it’s purpose pretty well of keeping the human condition in check. Sometimes our inventions backfire for the worse (heck we’re just seeing this now with YouTube).
Toilet paper was an excellent replacement for cactus.
P.S. I really did want to give an intellectual response but I'm tired and it's late, so the smart ass just came right out, Please forgive this episode.

Toilet paper is dirty. Bidets are better. And those automatic bum sprayers in Korea are the bomb.

Agree 100%!
It's a draw. Indoor plumbing and air conditioning. I was going to say donuts but that is so obvious.

Lol I am writing a book about donuts. My Uncle owned LaMar’s Donuts. If you have any stories,opinions, or ideas for the book I would appreciate it. Donut photos?
@CandyWorner That is great. Donuts should be one of the major food groups.
Written language. That certainly paved the way for humans to accumulate knowledge on a scale that was never possible before.

Piggy backing on that one Bill Nye gave a strong argument for municipal sewer and water systems without which large cities could not exist.
