[Serious] Trying close to my best to rationalize Christianity

[The Grand Nudger]

Soul forging isn't made reasonable or unreasonable on account of the number of gods, or the state of their character.  As suspected, you use rationalization as a stand-in for rational.  They mean very different things, and while you categorized your efforts as rationalization, and succeeded- characterizing them as rational would fail.

Yes, maybe so. Here I haven't touched arguments that would propose it as rational. Clearing this up, I won't either, just trying to explain it as a possibility that can't be ruled out completely and is worthy for brainstorming.

There's a distinctly less ridiculous subject for brainstorming described below.

Or, if you wanted to make christianity rational, rather than rationalize over some item of dogma....take the rational approach and leave theological interpretation behind altogether.

We were not created by any god, and there is no soul forge.  The stories represent human desires and etiological devices important to the cultures of origin.

I don't really see it as a wise move to be certain in these kind of topics and don't  recommend it.
It is interesting though that religion was necessary for us. Why not just learn as all other animals do by just believing ad learning from empirical facts? Why wasn't it like that?

You don't see it as wise to state, with certainty, that the stories in magic book represent human desires and etiological devices?  You do, however, see it as wise to pile more garbage on the heap..hilariously insisting that religion was necessary while asking why we don't learn the way that we do?

Personally, and since we're talking about things we think might be wise.....I think it would be wise to explore why you wished there was a soul forge, and why this particular fantasy appeals to you over other bits of fiction. Not with us, I don't think you'd be capable of doing anything even close to that with us, here.
