- mmaunder 4y agoJoining a group that believes in magical sky dwelling beings that grant eternal life in utopia provided you worship them enough isn’t the only path to community and purpose.

- latency-guy2 4y agoBut it's one of many, and is one of the simplest ways to join a community as they are literally everywhere. For the time/effort needed to join this community (plural), its pretty much free, maintenance isn't all that much either. People a few hundred years ago already did the hard part. Not a bad deal. And all you have to do is suspend a little disbelief in something for a while.
- bergenty 4y agoIt isn’t but we haven’t found another system that works as well yet. The delusion really gives purpose to life. We haven’t found another way to provide a comparable delusion.
- fleddr 4y agoYet I challenge you to find one more effective. Whether by force/dogma or voluntary, a uniformly religious community connects at least weekly and includes all. Through this meeting, you get to know pretty much everybody, what they do, their families, their businesses. Which serves as a platform for making friends, finding partners, business opportunities, the like.
