why is religion a thing anyway ?

Control.

It is a way to increase survival for you and your family @Okamle

@Okamle I mean, the ones in charge

look back to the first religions, when you convince people in a god, which controls the weather, and they give you free food and drink. Then they eat and drink it, and say the god liked the offering, so bring more next time

^^^^^^^^^

A non-disprovable god

^^^^^

And if you resist, they make the rest of the tribe murder you, because you're a demon or whatever

Witch!

^^^^^^^^^^

@vegeta someone gets it 😃

Agree 100%

Authority is whatever you say it is

its to control youuuu

It only has what you give it

I was talking to some religious people...they don't get some points or they avoid points.
