Reality becomes abstracted away

Without an external meaningful lynchpin of existence

Ger

yeah

Any error can be believed from godlessness

religion is direction in all aspects of life, the only alternative is nihilism

yeah

Disagree completely

Yeah it is that simple

Religion has been very very important

We can see where religion has faded

Great pathologies emerge

if people do not have time honored religion they are subject to believing any random thing each year

I agree but I think it's still important

To which the religious are resistant

Relatively

For example having kids

Religion helped Europe become the greatest continent on earth

Marriage

Thinking sodomy is evil

Etc.

yeah

It is more than that Josef, basic to humanity

Anywhere you put man

You get language

And religion

language, money, religion

These two things

Rome, the Byzantine empire, the Ottoman Empire all shaped Europe and were based on religious beliefs

Not money

Religion is not just the actual aspects

None of those empires would have expanded without religion

But a holistic view of existence as MEANINGFUL

This is motivationally essential

Religion gives existence meaning

And keeps our psyche grounded

also interestingly, despite the modern stereotype based on southern hicks that religiosity and learning are antithetical, throughout history it's been the religious priests who kept literacy and historical records going

More than that, nothing else really does

But of course you are right

Leftism comes close as an antireligion

I also think a lack of a overwhelming dominant religion in Africa is the reason Africa is so backwards
