Why religion was necessary; why it no longer is.

[Angrboda]

You put words in my mouth and then you claim that I'm the bad guy for being insulted? What an ass.


You obviously know dick about the various traditions of shamanism mentioned. That you can find some examples where religion appears to fit the mold doesn't explain the many examples I gave where it doesn't. (Grecian oracles helping Greek rulers maintain control over the masses? That's a joke, right?) Like many stupid atheists who have made similar arguments in the past, you have a narrow view of what religion is, and a gaping ignorance of the history of religion, so you base your argument on a small range of examples of religion, and address that. That makes your entire argument a straw man. And you still haven't addressed why your explanation is a more compelling explanation of the phenomenon than evolutionary psychology and the cognitive science.

The rest was little more than equivocation on the meaning of the word religion.

Go fuck yourself.
