I didn't say it did? Religion kicked in when we were ready/developed enough for the concept.


Quote:nor has it contributed a single thing to our social or cultural development

Religion had no effect on human culture or society at all?






Quote:religious people have

Religious people are the religion, as C.S Lewis describes it to be a Christian is to be a cell in the body of Christ.


Quote:, but your holy books, your god claims? Not a jot.

So the claim of the existence and love of God and our eternal salvation never profoundly effected anyone's life in any way at all because it didn't effect yourself? But even on the purely cultural level it's like saying the plays of Shakespeare didn't impact our society.
Come all ye faithful joyful and triumphant.
