No I'm sorry. It is objectively delusional.
- Griffinsauce 9y agoIt's objectively (1) a very early way to make sense of the world and (2) a way to set up ready made norms and values for even your most unintelligent parts of society. It's very effective at those things. That said: we have science now for the first bit, which is much more effective at that job minus the simplicity. What do we have to replace the second part?
- Schwolop 9y agoSports. I should probably expand on that somewhat tongue in cheek answer. It's a pretty cynical response, but there's truth in it. Following and/or playing sports provides people with a tribe and a set of shared values and camaraderie. Much like religion, I've never felt the need for this, but there's certainly a very large set of people who do.
- leesalminen 9y agoAgreed. I think all organized religion should be disbanded. Too much violence results when people believe in fairy tales.
