Yes. But inside of many of us, are many fears. Of the dark and
many others. Are you saying that you have no fear of anything
irrational?
I never say you cannot believe
to "ease your irrational fears" and yes religion and beliefs are
excellent in easing people's "irrational fears."
Yes I have irrational fears but
because they are irrational, they pass. You need to have coping
strategies that are reality based to cope with the occasional
emotional upheavals.
What is worse and can have long
lasting damage is when people make decisions base on illusions,
delusions and beliefs.
You need to make decisions base
on facts, logic and not let your emotions and beliefs interfere in
your decision making.
That is intellectually
difficult and tiring/time consuming and that is why I said,
religion is good for lazy and stupid people.
If you cannot cope with your
irrational fears and you do not have the intellectual capabilities
to reason and find logical solutions to your problems, then I
recommend religion to you.
As a believer you just cling on
to some beliefs as "god given truths" and you do not have to find
the truth, to make your decisions. If the decision turns out to be
wrong, you say "It is god's will" or "It will eventually turn out
for the better".
No matter how delusional that
is, it helps you emotionally to cope! Which is why I tell non
believers not to look down on believers because they have found a
way to live life, even if it is based on stupidity and laziness,
that is simple and elegant.
