When you really sit and think about the dynamics of life and human relationships, you may realize that this is in fact a harsh and unforgiving world and nothing is as it seems. We can suspend this depressing reality and enter willful ignorance through live action role play. Build your own reality.

but don't hurt people in doing so

bc no

Hello

@Pelth so far its fun to see people that think a snake can talk

Thing is, I understand the whole "it's comfort to people" stuff. So is Santa for kids. Yet they "grow out" of that, no? And I think most atheists recognize that it's a "harsh and unforgiving world" and keep on living on without having to make stuff up

Religious people should be treated like children. Can't vote, can't drive, can't participate in society fully. Fine, they can live in their fantasy world if it makes them feel better. But it wouldn't be cute to have political leaders and lawmakers who believe in Santa or the Tooth Fairy, would it?

You wouldn't trust those people with life and death decisions.

Yet we live in a world where we almost elected Romney - a fucking MORMON. Perhaps one of the easiest religions to debunk. And we took him seriously, as he pranced around on the stage wearing his special Mormon underwear

Can't keep taking religious people seriously, it needs to stop. It will stop, eventually. The correlation between higher intelligence/education and being less religious is undeniable. And the world is becoming smarter.

I can't wait for the day these fantasies are confined to asylums and kindergartens.

but thats fundamentalism and its diffrent from religon

but the same, you will protect the fundamentalists

I wonder if it's a correlation or also a causation

A study published in the journal Neuropsychologia has shown that religious fundamentalism is, in part, the result of a functional impairment in a brain region known as the prefrontal cortex. The findings suggest that damage to particular areas of the prefrontal cortex indirectly promotes religious fundamentalism by diminishing cognitive flexibility and openness—a psychology term that describes a personality trait which involves dimensions like curiosity, creativity, and open-mindedness.

Does brain damage make you more likely to be religious? Or does being religious give you brain damage?

I say both
