I love to read how some people believe we are just empty shells without feelings, morals or rules if we dont have a religion
basically we are robots to some people, if we dont have a book to tell us how to behave and feel. Strangely animals doesnt need these advises to function in a group.
Religions to me are nothing but ways to control people, and keep them away from asking questions, quite clever move if you ask me, because the method has proved itself for thousands of years, and worked successfully, up untill now.
And why is is method so used? simply because a "God" isnt something to fuck around with, he/she/it has super powers and nothing he/she/it does is wrong. perfect way to make your code of conduct 110% bulletproof. A leader in flesh wouldnt have the same impact.
