originaluciferbecause life is less important than 'honor' or some such nonsense.
religion is a vestigial trait that must be culled. a crutch of the weak mind humans no longer require
It seems a lot of humans still require it though, that’s the whole problem imho. If everyone was on the same page it would have disappeared or be no more than folklore same for the rest of legends and such like.
But a lot of humans still have a long way to go and waaaayyyy too many are preying on them while too little of us are steering towards betterment…
a lot of humans require it, or a lot of humans are raised in an environment where they have no choice?
i suspect the number of people that require religion for psychological reasons is quite small. the rest are just indoctrinated
A lot of people still required it for spiritual reasons. Atheism is not for everyone and some still need directions from a superior force in order to put their values/lives in order.
I’m find that behaviour naive and kind of foolish, but as long as they are respectful with others and don’t try to convert everyone else I don’t see a problem.
That’s said, Christians are way less indoctrinated and usually are freely to choose, at least in my experience ( western europe ). If that’s possible is thanks to the historically separation of church and state, which is something the other 2 big religions dosnt seem to like.
if you were raised in an environment where the truth of 'spirituality' is that its completely fake, would they still require it?
if all of the worlds children were raised without religion or spirituality, would it still be a requirement?
I was raised to believe it was fake, and as an adult I’m a believer. My mind simply cannot stop seeing God there.
