fear of being alone is a big factor in religious delusions, what a friend we have in Jesus, or space aliens, or egg plants...
Absolutely , that is the underlying truth of the human psyche & a natural expression of only this rudimentary emergent consciousness to try & seek an expression of that order of complexity we are still not free enough to comprehend . For that is the main fear that dickers with the Religionists innate fear of Science which is coming to a full realization now that there is really very little "free will" in the mix , which is an illusion among many many cherished delusions . (giordano's aliens the same)
Try as they may every major religion sits helplessly by an ancient stoneage fire trying to come up with any other way to explain away all that Evil in the world which even the most casual glance back in any history sees not a personal God or Creator full of love or compassion , but a creation that can only be described as run by a capricious mass murderer & dealer of endless misery . Its only by injection of the idea of Free Will that this infinitely wicked , dead beat "father" that insanely killed by the millions , finds even limited salvation & redemption .
In the end what Science discovers the potential for is an emergent compassion we generate from within our reason , what Science would simply say & says more now , better real Fathers & Mothers here on earth than any imaginary ones in heaven . (And if they are same sex , so be it ) |
