Religion is nothing more than misplaced mythology
#11
RE: Religion is nothing more than misplaced mythology
At some point in time, when humanity was in its infancy, religion was a rational thing, as an attempt to make an explanation that made sense to proto-man's simple mind. Having an explanation for things proto-man could not control (like the weather, natural disaster, etc.) demystified them, and turned them into something not to be afraid of, but to be conquered. Now that we have scientific explanations and the ability of logical reasoning, religion is very irrational, and unnecacary, and only serves to create foundation for people to lie to themselves and cloud their veiw of reality to make their probably unfortunate situations not their fault, or normal.
Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
