Perhaps they could have put all that time and effort into something more constructive. Creating a subservient, subjugative crutch for people with low mental resilience, apparent inability to use reason and logic to comprehend the world around them, and wild imaginations seems unnecessary. In my opinion, religion and faith block the believer’s ability to utilize appropriate epistemological methods to process and gain knowledge. As apparent by the fact that a recent study showed that one fourth of America believed the sun revolved around the earth. This is the perfect example of how religious thought handicaps a person’s ability to learn.
So, it seems that very intelligent men philosophical men pondered for a long to make up a story that the ignorant masses would believe. That[/quote] means that only unintelligent people would would believe the myth of Jesus? Of course, the highly christian western world has led the world in science and technology throughout the centuries since the time of Jesus.
