Reply #6: I've Head It Called The Superiority Complex

[KharmaTrain]

The "opiate" of religion is its ability to "empower" those who suspend reality and believe. Religion answers questions that don't have answers...it provides a certainty that people want...and the answers they want as well. It's easy to wash away a catastrophe as "god's will" or feel an "invinsibility". Above all its the abdication of responsibility...it's easier to do bad things when you feel you have some "moral" blessing in doing so.
