The Religious Impulse

[Dontaskme]

The religious impulse was brought about by evolution itself, and is a defect of the human mind conditioned by the illusory knowledge that 'I exist', coupled with the fear of death. Once that idea had set in stone, life for humans became the epitome of total insanity.

[Cuthbert]

I used to despise religious people because of their childish attachment to a fictional deity and their lack of insight into their own hopes and fears. But now I have only pity and compassion for the religious. After all, there but for the grace of God go I.
