Yeah, Mantus... sadly... some people want to be believe in some ancient magical zombie superheroes because that's all they've got left in their minds. Creationism allows them to have this magic in their everyday lives... because it Big G created everything in their world. Interactive fantasy?
Something I've been thinking about lately is how little purpose life has to a lot of people. They want the hour-a-week drama associated with a religion because their lives are essentially no different than the battery-people in The Matrix movie. When you're stuck in the daily grind of the Average Joe, life really has no purpose other than to make money-money to feed your debt and spin in place. I think people wanna feel like there is some kinda action in their future... whether in this life or the next. Instead of getting lost in video games or gambling away their house or callus-inducing masturbation or alcoholism... they choose Jesus, perhaps the most dangerous drug of all. Life is all about finding your own purpose and some people suck at that.
Religion is dangerous because for all the good it teaches, it may have the user relinquish an unhealthy portion of their ownership of their life.
Granted, I'm not a genius and I do know that religion really does work for some people. A portion of The Faithful, though, have these issues.
