Religion, bad or worse is based on indoctrination from stone-age myths and reinterprets our better understanding of facts and new empirical evidence so some can maintain what they prefer to be the truth and tries to stop us reaching the truth.
According to current science we are mere sparks of consciousness. Whats the point of empirical wisdom when we are fragile dying meatbags.
I can turn that around .... if we are just in Gods waiting room with pre-determined afterlife why do we need the bible, why not get on with it already?
But your bullshit to one side. We want to enjoy our time while we are "fragile dying meatbags", which includes the knowledge why and how our "fragile dying meatbags" came into existence ....
I don't refuse my turn on a fair ground ride because it will end, nor do I need to convince myself the ride will go on forever to enjoy the moment ...
Religion is the top shelf of the supernatural supermarket ... Madog
