Hey man, made up bullshit isn't so bad. In a way, fiction is made up bullshit. The Lord of the Rings is fiction. Fiction excites the imagination; it brings people joy.
Some may argue that religion brings people joy, but there's a difference. Gays and transgenders don't have to struggle with bigotry because of some shit Frodo said on the way to Mount Doom.
I speak from experience. Suffered night terrors for years beginning around 12 or 13, sometimes, multiple times a night due to the teachings of my fundamentalist Christian church that I would burn in eternal Hell due to my, as a biological man, wearing skirts.
