If something gives you purpose and makes you happy isn't the most rational thing to do to follow that thing, even if the thing itself isn't logical?
- sytelus 4y agoYes, I myself have done a lot of things that have no logical reasoning but gave life a purpose, or at least it seemed to. That was my “religion”. I really cannot say I am opposed anyone else’s religion. The big issue is that many religious people want everyone else to follow their religion and any refusal or reluctance means target on your back. This is why religions get bad name and produce negative impact on society, for example attempts to squash scientific progress in medieval dark times or formulating laws based on one religion to a force on to everyone else or forcing religious education on all children and actively preventing them from learning scientific concepts like evolution etc. Not everyone does this and in fact most religious people I know are very private about that aspect of their lives.
