After thinking about it for a very long time, I've come to believe that "religious faith" is ultimately a form of intellectual laziness, and every religious adherent of every faith that I've cornered after a nice meal and a few drinks has all but admitted as such.
- dijit 5y agoI’m inclined to agree, though that does not preclude them being otherwise smart, kind, open etc. I think also that we as humans have “religions” that are also intellectual cop-outs in other areas. Left vs Right, Capitalism vs <<other>>, Nationalism/Patriotism vs Globalism. I find a lot of people don’t have nuance to their thinking they just blindly believe what ever they’ve settled in on, which leads to those funny “curb your capitalism/communism” YouTube videos, where people can’t defend closely held convictions.
