Is religion a crutch?

None explain what the point of anything existing is let alone how anything exists as opposed to nothing existing instead. These are the questions that anyone with a conscious mind would consider rather than what rules does my God want me to follow. How about that? How about wtf is all this living and non living matter doing here in the first place and I'm talking to the farthest reaching places of the universe? What's the fking point?

Go home ur drunk.

Yes, it was a crutch. It was needed to explain the unexplainable.

Now the crutch has evolved into a crippling disease and you need a wheelchair.

Hell is for ever!

>the unexplainable

I like that honesty.

The point is to get you really horny and settled down with a woman who you will not stop fucking you till you make a baby and have to work giving you not enough free time to dwell in your narcissism and have an existential crisis followed up by depression.

Religion was never about God. It was about community.

Jordan Peterson explains it really well.

tldr religion is the 'feeling' or instinct species like monkeys put on to the ideal of the perfect specimen. You can't align that to an actual human or it becomes currupt. Akajesus is the 'feeling' or 'ideal' or a perfect person we should all strive to be, as depicted by people over thousands of generations which is why all religions align so well.

Evolution breeds religion.. because we identify the epitome of the alpha male and the righteous male as good and we elevate the ideal to god status on an evolutionary status.

Yfw you realise god is evolution. Yfw evolution is god. Yfw religion IS the scientific basis for everything through evolution.

No cunt talks about this. Proof it, copy pasta it.

>religion IS the scientific basis for everything through evolution.

What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

You mean the fact that religious societies are the only ones that were fit enough to survive the last few thousand years?

Then the argument becomes: Be religious or you will die out.

>be religious or you will die out

What a concept.

We cannot be where we are today without religion. Religion is good as long as we understand it's evolutionary background and strive for the perfect, righteous human ideal..

Not a crutch, a foundation.

Why don't you find some religious scholars and ask, instead of asking a bunch of people that, at best, only know about modern commie Christianity.

This all makes sense if you step back and understand this

Sounds like something an agent from the matrix would expound.

>Satan is lust, greed, deception, hatred, etc

So anyone who does not strive for Buddha or Jesus is against humanity? And all the wars over this have been justified?

because the more points of view the better? 3D vs 2D. Scholars care about not being wrong so much so they might dismiss or ignore something valuable out of bias like Graham Hancock says when they dismiss him as expounding pseudoscience.

Everything besides Stocism, Buddhism, or full-on nihilistic is a crutch. I've never been a real nihilist though, and most atheists are crypto-Christian moralists minus prohibitions on whatever hedonistic pursuits they want to engage in.

I've never MET a real nihilist though*

we're like a petri dish containing a living basic cell and whatever you add to it determines its experience/fate?

why the spamming of kermit over and over?

I don't disagree with Peterson's analysis of religion phenomena. I'm saying that the need for these things is the result of inherent flaws in both our nature, and in the nature of existence itself. Realizing this, and embracing it entirely strips one of his illusions. It doesn't erase the feeling or the need (hence modern hyper dogmatic atheists crusading for esoteric hedonism) I'm not actually for the eradication of religious feeling, or religious metaphor, or evolved institutions that preserve ancestral memory.

What's important is simply SEEING these things for what they are, rather than remaining oblivious to their true nature.

You know the natural history of life on this planet. We are a natural occurrence according to the mechanics of the natural order. Everything about you is by definition a natural phenomenon, even if it seems strange to you that something like consciousness or qualia would be a natural phenomenon.

Religion is based on "Faith"
Science is based on "Proof".

Religion is more efficient and improves your life.

For example, let's take the ancient wisdom "Sucking dicks is gay (if you are a man)". The Science method would require you to actually go down and suck a few dicks to be sure of its truth. Meanwhile, Faith-based systems like Religion use the wisdom of all those that did suck dicks before you. You only have to trust what they said regarding this issue, and entirely avoid the bad experience.

There will always be people that lack faith, and will put the precepts to a test. If the precept is false, the followers of that religion will stop following it. The longer a precept endures the test of time unchanged, the more sure you are of its truth. Christian religion, since it reached the Greeks, defines God as "everything that is true". So following God precepts means "following what is true/has a good outcome".

Science and Universities are Religious inventions, tools to better understand God. It is proven that some true statements cannot ever be reached by Science, but we have plenty of faith in their truth values.

"god is everything that we don't know" - some guy I don't remember

Peterson is right for the wrong reasons, I'm not even sure he knows the field of evolutionary psychology exists

Which is funny considering his doctorate is in psych

unfortunately someone too close to NASA, Neil Degrassi Tyson

Religion is natural. Ideologies are a crutch

Do any christ cucks here actually believe that kikerberg isnt an atheist anymore?

>crutch
religion is a hivemind.

Well what happens when you never build anything on that foundation?
