There's a Reason Why Christians do Stupid Things

[robvalue]

They do whatever the fuck they wanted to do.  "God" is just an excuse.

Exactly. People do what God tells them to do, as long as they were going to do it anyway. I don't know how it could be any other way, since they are just talking to themselves. I guess sometimes they are talking to people from their past instead, who have drummed into them what God would say.

I can see how people who can't handle how brutal and unfair life can be need a way to justify it all. Religion offers "answers", although they are made up and don't even make sense. They actually end up making things even worse, if you stop to properly analyse them. People don't, I imagine, because they just want the pill.

Personally, I accept that such notions as "unfair" are just human value judgements. Reality is what it is. I have no need to make up stories to accept that.
