(September 8, 2011 at 3:35 pm)Rhythm Wrote: The notion that early religions focused more on females and security and doing good to each other is a pleasant fiction. Borne out of the desires and political leanings of modern researchers more than any actual evidence. Chief amongst the proponents of this theory is Marija Gimbutas who despite being a world class scholar eventually fell prey to describing a history she wished was present, but did not actually exist.

Summarized:
religion is wishful thinking. Pure fantasy.

It's not delusion, because delusion suggests there is someone (else) doing the deluding. God? Satan? Spirits? Ghosts? Angels? Demons? It is all between our own ears. And only there! It is not part of physical reality. Ironically, the stuff that made people human – the brain, imagination – may turn out to be a self-destruct machine...

I can hear Darwin roaring with laughter!
I salute you, Charles.
