what in the fuck. this is why younger people hate religion.
This is why religion is indoctrinated. While I can accept, even while not believing, the argument that spirituality is innate, organized religion is entirely a human construct.
"Spirituality is innate" is such a copout for me. In my opinion, it just means people have an imagination and emotions, but I don't want to admit magic isn't real so I'll call it spirituality.
Yep, spirituality is an emergent property with respect to imagination and a lack of omniscience; if something happens that is not explainable by an individual's knowledge they'll find it easy to come up with an imagined explanation.
This is why earlier religions explained things like the seasons, weather, earthquakes, volcanos, stars, etc through imagined gods while those same, evolved, religions don't attempt to do so anymore. We understand them scientifically now.
