Is CF the one where the assholes "bless" each other?  I happen to prefer our kudos system!

Yes, when they're not busy banning people who don't agree with them.

Oh, welcome mihoda!

It is nice to have you here, Mihoda.

mihoda, the following video may be of interest to you. In it, Andy Thomson discusses how religion provides a strong, powerful means for connection and attachment, which are needs that the majority of people crave.  Hence, religious belief is like craving fast food, which is an analogy that is significant to Thomson's presentation.

I look forward to reading more of your contributions, sir. Take care.
