Thread:User talk:WaitingforGodot/"Religion".../reply

It's an interesting space, from an academic standpoint, of how we got/got to "religion", vs. spirituality or whatnameyou, that infiltrates every aspect of our life. I'm sure rational thought "oh praise rationality" pushed it along. The idea that belief or "super natural" or "non scientific" or whatever is somehow WORSE than being uber science (along with sexist things in parallel, like "emotion" is not a good way to make decisions, and "the brain" ALWAYS is what makes decisions, rather than just what JUSTIFIES emotional decisions that you've already made, yadda yadda).

but that very spark, thousands of years ago, where someone says "this is sacred" and therefor, this is profane intrigues me.

More books to read! yeah.
