      So…to be clear you think we don’t know religion is an irrational response to existential dread? Cause…I have a bridge to sell you.

      human response to existential dread

      I realize this was likely not intended, but you’ve ironically removed most of the nuance in why religions came to exist in this statement lol.

        Yeah like that’s exactly what the folks I know think. There’s nothing, and it sucks, but we don’t need religion as copium.
