    I don’t understand how anyone can be happy with the conclusion that this random man is some godsent, instead of the people that actually help humanity day to day. I’m not religious at all so maybe that’s why I don’t understand, but like… Why?

      They are not sane. They no longer perceive reality. They live in a world of subtle hallucinations about causes, effects and the nature of reality.

      It’s like seeing little pink elephants except instead of being a visual hallucination it’s about the how’s & why’s. But it’s no less a batfuck insane misalignment of their brain.

      Much of religion is trying to convince you that weakness is strength. The people around you have a lot of power on how your day is going to go. A random political leader can’t really do.anything to implant you personally. This means they are strong in theist logic

        I like how you’ve boiled it down. Wish I can freely tell people that, but being atheist is apparently worse than murder where I live.
