Religion is needed by the majority out of fear of the evidenced supported facts of the finality of death. That scares the bejesus out of many. They prefer that warm, fuzzy, inner comforting feeling, and knowing they can go out and practise their fornication and then come back and all is forgiven!😄 That's why Jesus is real to them..that's why he is the Son of God in their eyes! Good luck to them I say, as long as they don't spread silly anti science nonsense and rumours!! If you already understand the religious mindset so thoroughly, why bother discussing the origins of religious myth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stand by my reasoning. I experienced it as a child, and I have spoke to others about it. Note carefully, I did say "the majority" not all. Not sure though why the others would accept something for which there is no evidence, over the evidence of science, other then as I suggested, that fear of the finality of death. Or is it simply their faith in the accuracy and details of the bible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theirs is not an evidence-based culture. Different priorities, different POV, different perspectives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't affect me one way or the other, but if we call a spade a spade, it is certainly relevant in determining that such faith in Jesus is just plain ordinary unscientific myth. 5 hours ago, Peterkin said: Theirs is not an evidence-based culture.
