re: #130 imp_62

On my Mumbai page in the last comment I link to a study on religious charitable giving. Religion is not destructive sui generis. People are. If it wasn’t God, Allah or Vishnu they said they were killing for, it would be cthulhu or the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

I agree that people have a tendency to manufacture gods to worship. I just think that, as a species, we need to recognize this process as an unwell state of mental health before we can begin to deal with this magical thinking as the problem that it is.
