Can believing in bullshit be a good thing?

Getting hit in the head with a golf club might turn some assholes into good people.

If getting hit in the head with a golf club would make me a good person then getting hit in the head with a golf club is the best thing for me

Are you one of them?

[fr0d0]

Sometimes nonsense has an effect, sometimes random events produce an effect, sometimes good reason produces an effect. My money is on good reason being most effective and far reaching. Lamest objection out.

Well if this is your methadology then I can see why you like religion.

[Phatt Matt s]

Why is it that every time I see shaman, there is someone talking shit to him? Hey shaman, why are you always surrounded by assholes?

Tell me what is wrong with that methodology?

[tor]

What's wrong with it is that it doesn't consider negative consequences of the methods of transformation.
For instance what has good effect on you might have shitty effect on others and you spread this thing around.

What thing have I spread around? I've told people that if Religion turns you into an asshole than move on to a different remedy. It just so happens that most of the assholes I've known in my life were not Pious people

The religion is in your head. It slips through your mouth and actions onto other people. It's contagious
You keep it alive.

I never see it that way. Everyone has their own unique experience. I know you're kidding, but just to clear the decks... I judge no one. If my posts sound judgmental it is not my intention. The things I express with certainty come from my heart and my experience. I see no reason to consider why others are not having their own unique respective experience of the 'truth'. My outright criticisms of certain traditions are made in the same spirit that theists and atheists alike make their own observances. I see no reason why we cannot all commune with one another apart from our respective [beliefs] or lack thereof.
