One Of The Four Horseman

Well, in an ironic twist of the play we call life, it seems that evolution has sided with religious beliefs. And no I'm not talking about ID, but Darwin's "survival of the fittest" evolution. Now before people start flaming, I'm not talking about evolution proving God but rather evolution favouring those that believe. Here's the link below for the story, note it's written by an athiest: Manufacturing belief To sum it up religon was created by the human mind out of the need for humans to link cause and effect relationships to everything in the universe. Since primitive man did not have sufficiant understanding of the world around him, he needed to create something to fill in the void left by some of the effects of our planet. Most athiests already know this. However it seems that evolution ironicaly favours religous people in natural selection since they are more optimistic and healthier people than non-religous people since they are less anxious and have a sence of relief when they pray. So what will it be gentleman(and lady)? Blissful Ignorance or Depressing Enlightment? |

Yeah, I've heard this one before. Pious, blissfully ignorant people live longer. I'd rather hold onto my cold rationality and black, black heart. Hiss. |

I know this sounds pretentious but the majority of people need religion so they can keep it (as long as its moderate, fundies shouldn't be tolerated) but there will be people who will see through the illusion of religion. oh well it seems I must keep my depressing enlightenment. |

Colour me baffled. I don't see where being religious == being happy. Nor do I see where being atheist == being unhappy. The unhappiest times of my life included periods of religiosity. The happiest time of my life -- now -- is me being 100% areligious. There is nothing in not believing in a fantasy friend that makes you unhappy. Perhaps observing the sheer stupidity of the world around you as they take insane actions in the name of said fantasy friend can be depressing, but you know what? I was depressed about that before I finally ditched religion once and for all. And, indeed, much more depressed about it then than I am now -- because then I had to constantly wonder why my fantasy friend wasn't doing shit about things. Now I know why: there is no fantasy friend to do shit. The prickly, difficult questions that plague the whole field of theodicy go away forever once you realise the truth: there is no fantasy friend, so there is no problem of evil. And that realisation? Made me a happier man, not a sadder. |

Well, in general, religion helps people have hope and relief when troubled by things inevitable or invincible. That's a given. Since we have plenty of such things in life, religious people are less prone to stress in general. Ñϼӻª is unique because he is more optimistic in general. I am not. I am bitter. |

I don't know......trying to live the "perfect" or "holy" life so you won't piss off God could be pretty stressful, at least in my opinion. |

That is the con. The pro side is, you get to pray when you fail or be sorry for something. |

I agree. But, sooner or later will one realise that (according to scripture) it's a lost cause and they'll never be worthy of God's grace? Meaning that they get so wrapped up in trying to please God that it becomes obssession and they "stress out" because they feel "unworthy" for God's grace. |

It all depends on how devote you are... If someone never becomes very devote then they will just pray for forgiveness and be done with their problems. Those people would be very happy. |

Of course if you believe in religion your gonna be happier (generally speaking of course just depends on the person and the type of religion) as it gives you meaning and hope in life and atheism just gives you the good old fun of nilihism. |

I've heard of this before. Also, people that rely on faith have more children then Atheists. |
