I can also try to do that, where is my money?

You lack the charisma of a televangelist and the backing of a wealthy group to lobby against taxing your gains.

I mean if lying to yourself and others gives you comfort, then my point stands that you need help

Truth hurts and most people don’t like being in pain most of the time.

Absolutely not, otherwise i would have written “she can go fuck herself”, but i didnt because people deserve better than being forced to believe in some century old mental mindgame of bullshit.

You assume they are being forced and not do so willingly. Those looking for stability tend to cling to ideas that don’t change multiple times over the course of their life. An ancient religion is considerably more stable than the ever-changing discoveries of science.

Thats correct, but life is amazing and full of cool stuff already. There is no need to limit your happiness with some archaic system of self oppression.

Most people don’t get to see those. Each individual has a limited experience through life and we all tend to take for granted the idea that we all experience the same things in the same way. We don’t.

If you can’t understand why someone would cling to religion, at least try to understand that the same can be said about them regarding you.
