The True Meaning Of Religion Lies In It's Structure Not Message
Religions all have a basic template which they follow simply because in the world of ideas like the natural world there is survival of the fittest.Religion a two thousand year old meme passes the survival test brilliantly.First of course are the threats if you don't believe either here or in an afterlife although there is no proof anywhere of such a thing.The second complementary half is the promise of prosperity and possibly a paradise after one dies .Both sides are much embellished by horror stories for the disobedient and riches for the obedient.That is the template by which all ideologies grow and one can substitute any rules for any others and the result will be the same.The objective writings of religion are nonsense what with angels floating around which no one sees but the message is in the structure.Once you understand that all religions become a mind virus some just more virulent than others and their adherents carriers of the virus.
