[quote=Anonymous]Religion is about community. Human beings are wired to have a basic tribal identity. Because it's dangerous out there historically if you don't have one. Arguing whether Jesus performed miracles or how Mohammed ascended to Heaven or whether Ganesh removes obstacles in your life is pointless. None of it is logical. Prayer is like meditation. It's calming and helps focus the mind. And membership in a religion provides fellowship and commonality. We have been doing this for thousands of years, whether you worship Ra, the Egyptian sun god, or Zeus, or Shiva, or Jesus. There are definite benefits for being part of a religion and praying. And in that sense it's very rational. But, it seems to me, the beliefs inherent in most religions are still the same hocus pocus that people believed in when we lived in caves. [/quote]
