OH, THAT AGAIN. SO RELIGION IS A TOOL?
It’s the most complex tool on the planet. We use it, not on a car or a tree, but on our own minds. We have at least five senses constantly taking all this information, and to function amongst all the other humans, we have to organize the information, and apply it to other information in certain patterns. And so on and so on. Religion is, among other things, a form of psychological shorthand. It’s easy answers to tough questions.
