I mean, if falsehoods are the only way you can cope with the shit world we live in and be happy and you're not pushing it on anyone else go for it. I'm not religious but it's not like I've found an alternative. Best I can do is drink to shut off the part of my brain that's constantly ruminating on shit. That's not particularly productive either.

    The entire problem there is that we all keep trying to shut it off instead of joining together with others who are also suffering to change society for the better because we have become so isolated from our communities.

    Churches and religion offer this community but instead of making it better they just manipulate you into thinking the suffering is divinely ordained.
