Superstitious thinking has done NOTHING to add to our survival as a species. That is a fact. And I already said that the superstitious fears of being punished did indeed motivate certain people to pony up to spokespersons for invisible beings.
Though one advantage of this propagandized bulk superstition & generationally passed on delusion, is ready access to the built in tool of demonizing which has proven a power ever useful in making those who are at odds or disgree, easily slandered , banished & condemned. Reputations ruined, livilhoods & lives destroyed with just the simple public decree of excommunication. This power over the immmortal soul, that no one can see or prove, resides in hands of another mere mortal who can destroy your earthly standing with simple acccusation of slander & insinuation. Quite a game to play, and this "God" backing you up, pretenders playing the "God Game".
How many times here have we witnessed the association of Darwin with Nazism riveted into the circular iron maiden of demon logic that all Darwinists are atheists out to destroy this eternal indestructable uncreated being. Enough to make you smile at the tactic which is the irrational hysterically but methodically trying to dominate over the rational.
Fortunately, we live in an evolving secular society, that power of demonizing has been taken away, this they fear more than anything else, when it was always so easy to do away with your opponents by a mere defamation & excommunication.
