Does religion still exist because the languages of the world can not construct an accurate enough description of the level of stupidity ...?

required to be religious ?

I'm having a difficult time myself trying to describe how stupid faith is for example.

Believing stuff that has no freaking shread of evidence and conflicts with logic itself is mind stoppingly STUPID and should not happen to any normal person.

The way the human mind can keep his neurons together while containing such contradictory thoughts in it, is astounding.

I mean a computer if it was programmed to use faith in his calculation, the system would crash immediately with smoke coming out of it.

    After causing WW3 and killing 93% of people, antichrist will say that religion causes wars, and will push to abolish all religions, but then will demand worship.

    The vast majority of the people are not stupid. A significant number of people are above average intelligence, yet only 2-4% are actual atheists.

    As an atheist you pride yourself on facts. The fact is over 50% of atheists are less than 30 years old and the younger a person is the more likely they are to be atheist. Atheism is a middle class/ upper middle class adolescent thing. 68% of atheists are male. The majority of atheists are White. These facts must combine to tell you something. Atheism is likely a farce that you will abandon once you are sufficiently mature enough to see the big picture, because atheism is a perfect example of throwing the baby out with the bath water.

    WORD.

    When observing something he doesn't understand, an immature person will assume that the thing itself must be completely incomprehensible. Thus, he leaves the question unresolved. That is the path you are choosing. The frustration or confusion you are experiencing is entirely your own fault.

    On the other hand, a mature person will assume that his lack of understanding is just that -- HIS deficiency. Consequently, he seeks to learn more about the thing that is confusing him, and discover how it could exist the way it does. In doing so, he will find an answer. I recommend you give that a try.

    No, religion exists because people cannot grasp the complexity of our amazing universe without attributing it to a supernatural cause. Religion doesn't come from stupidity, just incomplete information and ignorance.

    Wow.

    Your intelligence seems on par with your knowledge of computer programming.

    Try this: try changing the date on your computer. Program your computer to take it on faith that today's date is June 21, 2025. If you want to bother, go on and disable the automatic weekly clock update, thus programming your computer to rely solely on faith in the operator's knowledge of the correct date.

    See if the system crashes immediately with smoke coming out of it. If it *does* do that, you need very badly to buy a new computer system with an entirely different operating system.

    I have a phrase to describe it. Idiocy to the power of googol. 100 zeros, more than all the particles in the known universe.
