Religion is a convenience for the slave and master. Slaves are born slaves, and masters are taught to rule. Religion helps to foster an alien glory. The achievements of humanity are born of free will and destiny. Religion leads us all to the Absurd. Creativity leads us all to sanctuary. Am I or am I not making sense? Am I or am I not reasonable?
Mass control is a side effect of religion, but religion was intended first as a means of understanding the unknown and following what it seemed right based on it.
Definitely agree. Without science holy crap the world would not make sense! It would be pretty scary not knowing why everything happens the way it does, and even though common sense isn't necessarily good sense, it's very understandable for people to come together and believe in one thing to explain it all. It just sucks that they get so attached and unwilling to be proven wrong
