Religion provides unity
no, religion provides an idiotic answer for a question.
example: thousands of years ago, people didn't know what the hell the sun was. so they called it god.
they also didnt know what fire was, how death happened, and how life began.
god, god, and god.
So does the KKK. Your point?
religion is a foolish crutch. it is VERY MUCH SO the OPIUM of the people. why do you think church attendance increased after 9/11? because people felt powerless and needed to get their heads filled with absolute horseshit. why do people do drugs? because they are trying to fill a void. just as with religion.
the only reason to believe is because:
A - you have been raised as such and can't be bothered to research anything.
B - you can't be bothered to research anything, and throw out any argument presented.
case-in-point: my dad [mostly], and various priests/monks throughout the years: "you can't approach religion with a logical point-of-view."
fucking. morons.
