[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can “rational” people not believe in entities greater than themselves? Start there, then add details. Many religions explain the unexplained and provide supports of various kinds — including community— in the face of the unbearable.[/quote] One doesn't need religion to have community. And you are asking that people start with an irrational position of faith. Lived experience and observation does not support the existence of some magical deity. Human beings in our present evolutionary form have existed for about 300,000 years. There have been innumerable religions over all those eras. Gods and beliefs change all the time. There's clearly a hunger to believe in something. That's very human. Ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece and so on all had their gods. That doesn't make Isis and Zeus real. [/quote]
