>>2362765>half-century oldfuck herein my experience and from what I've seen, all religions contain a rigid framework of rituals and behavioral "must-do's" and "must-say's" in repetitive means, which appeals to the humans brains of 'striving for order and sense', I call that a thought-virus. So you're getting accustomed to that. akin to the saying "if you hear over and over repeatedly 'the grass is blue', you'll start believing it at some point. and you'll stick to it, akin to the old Jesuit's saying "give me your boy for 6 years, and he'll be mine for life".

>>2362851 said, older people people , and people who are troubled in one way or another, are looking for a "meaning of life" - IMHO there isn't one - most have issues with the "you're just being pooped out, you eat, shit, sleep, fuck for 80 years, and then you keel over because your body malfunctions due to wear and tear". Religion gives them a "fake news" answer, and also an excuse to their "immoral" lives or life choices.
