What I’ve learn so far about religions

Posted on by
  • People have a need for the extraordinary (which includes magic and the supernatural).
  • People have a need for explanations (no matter how far fetched or unproven), of making sense of reality, for order.
  • People have a need for justice (no matter if it requires magic).
  • People have a need for simplicity (the simplest explanation is often good enough, even if self-contradictory and unproven/unprovable).
  • People have a need for being comforted (even if what is supposed to be comforting is illogical, incoherent and improbable).
  • People have a need to believe in an afterlife (even if it happens “at the end of times”).
