Your own definition of "ritual".
I think that socratic contempt for religion used to be an absolute fringe. Only recently we can distinguish betwen scientific and unscientific. For eons, people, educated people, could only distinguish between traditional and weird.
That was their "knowledge" and they used what they had, because one needs to navigate their life somehow.
- carlosjobim 4y agoYou're expressing a kind of modern arrogance regarding past people that has no evidence. What makes you think that you know what and how ancient people thought? Maybe ancient people where much smarter and rational than the people of today? Considering they didn't eat toxins or spend hours each day being brain washed by a screen...
- kubanczyk 4y agoEqualing rituals with "stupid people believing in spirits" is arrogant. I don't say I know how they thought or how rational they were, but they sure didn't leave us any research on e.g. how to extend medium lifespan to 70.
