I think religion should be a mandatory clbum when you are young! In addition, all religions should be taught so everyone can learn about them in a hate free environment! Then everyone can make their own decision on what to believe and stop figting. All people have to do is make a mandatory cbum in 1st grade! What do you think?

Log in to see images!

Why take time away from subjects concerning things that are true? Log in to see images!

Every shred of real evidence is in accord with the idea that the universe behaves in a natural, consistent way. There are undoubtedly things that we do not yet understand, and in due course they will be discovered, figured out, explained and etc. But the supernatural is virtually a contradiction in terms – if a thing exists, it is part of the universe and hence not outside of nature, and aside from that’s it’s almost certainly a violation of extremely well evidenced principles like conservation of energy/matter.

The real lesson to take away from all the anecdotes of supernatural experiences is that the brain is an amazing thing, but surprisingly easy to trick into creating experiences that don’t correspond with anything that’s actually real (and occasionally it will diverge from reality of it’s own accord). Well, that and there are a lot of con-men, fakers, attention seekers and imbeciles in the world.
