Superstiton/religion & anti intellectualism
Why did I put this in the "history" section? Because historically in a very literal evolutionary sense, our species perceptions of reality are notoriously flawed and cause humans to gap fill with very bad guesses.

THIS was a response I got from a person who thinks "karma" is a real thing.

QUOTE......" so coming at me with your beliefs & throwing "facts" in my face will not make me change my mind."

THATS IT RIGHT THERE, humans prefer a comforting lie, a gap answer, over reality.

FACT, "karma" does not exist. Yes bad things happen and humans DO respond when others treat them badly, but that is not magic. That is nature.

The same can be said for religion of all labels. You can point to all the good in the word religion claims, and it would be true ONLY that individuals can be good and do good, but the REALITY is that humans are doing it. Our species ability to be cruel or compassionate is in our species, not our labels.
