The Reason for Religion/God
February 8, 2012 at 4:49 pm
Just wanted to share this with you...

" God is Man's response to a legacy of evolutionary discontent. The faculty of conceptual thought that raised Man above all other animal life was achieved only at the cost of a divided and tormented mind... Man's response to that awful burden of self-determination was to create for himself a god and to still his self doubts in the solace of religion".(p.1)
