but coming from how i thought

Some of the things in religious texts might have made sense for the times

Why is it so hard to just say 'I don't know.'

if i invented religion as an early man, it would be to explain the unknown

i fucking know right

Believe whatever froo froo you want. But at the end of the day, it all boils down to I don't know

why does everything need a scapegoat

no one knows

Like having only 1 sexual partner and fucking only for reproduction is a good way to prevent STDs

And there's nothing wrong with thay

how do you know god or goddeses exist

how do you know there isnt omething out there

Ofc now we understand hygiene so it doesn't matter as much

if you really think a god exist despite you not seeing him, why no believe in multiverses and aliens

And a woman having as many babies as she can is no longer helpful

that too

Back then it was okay because we weren't overpopulated the way we are now

Or things like not eating specific foods might have been to prevent fatal food poisoning

we have lenghtened our life span

And babies died a lot

like you coudnt cook pork properly in a desert

But now survival rate for moms and babies is alot higher

exactly

And turns out women have a lot more to contribute than just baby makers

id say the only reason religion exists, is because most people need a belief system to stay docile, or are too afraid to think of any other truth other than what they were born in

^^^^^^

some people still don't get it T_T

They need an answer to the big 'I don't know.'

exactly

A lot of people like being told what to think

^^

i know i did as a kid

Yes and it's so much easier to convince kids!

but now im ready to accept the fact that i am in the dark

not all kids though

That's the big reason why so many religions are against birth control and stuff. They get their numbers through kids rather than conversion

Not that they'd admit that's the reason

that there are so many other truths more believable than a single omnipotent god who can give total justice to everyone who brings faith unto him

If you keep your birth rate up you get a new generation of followers. If you don't you have to try to convert adults who are not as easily convinced and were probably raised in a different religion

that he is so egoistical he had to create people to worship him instead of hi own companion

Yes but that's the simplest answer and so it's the one they most readily believe
