But thereās also a strong argument that religion played a vital role in our evolution as a species. At some point in distant history we left behind being roving bands of murdering hunter gatherers and settled down in groups of hundreds, sure we would have never been able to do if it were not for some unifying cultural thing that developed some kind of civilization in us. I know youāve read Joseph Campbell so you know all this stuff, but organized religion was the natural offshoot of that. Itās all myth, although as you say the philosophy of Christianity is actually quite good in terms of morality, and Jesus if he lived was undoubtedly influenced by Buddhism as his teachings are far from Judaism at the time at least.
Itās a fascinating topic, would we have survived at all without religion, or developed as a species? All of western science as we know it was fostered by first Islam and then Christianity.

Dreadlocked apes like yourself @Lazarus never really see the bigger picture.
Take the PUP soup, what good is it to you?
God loves a trier pal
Would we have handled Covid better if we still had religion I wonder?
Without religion the people have nothing to fear but fear itself

I woild love to go up to Galway and spend a nice few bob in your pub, to support independent business when things opĆØn up.
Genuinely relying on the PUP is a mugs game.
Couldnāt agree more. Shop local bro as much as possible when you can the next while. It will make all the difference

The government has given him no choice. Same here, 100,000 small businesses gone to the wall. Absolutely no reason for it, other than politicians donāt give a shit unless your name is Mark Zuckerberg or Jack Dorsey and you can influence opinion.

Good man. My lady friend deleted her Amazon Prime ac on the same principle. If enough people do the little things for the next year or two the country will be as good as new before we can say Limerck5inarow

I donāt shop online fullstop mate.
There is a great future if we can grab it. The big issue is the only ones in opposition now are the right, and government and the media, especially social media, are doing everything to both paint them as lunatics (ok maybe they are) and an evil that must be eliminated. The left have abandoned the very people they are supposed to represent.
Facebook have blocked anyone linking to the story about the BLM founder who out of one side of her mouth is telling people to burn down cities, get rid of policing and incarceration, while at the same time lives in a rich white suburb of LA and has been quietly building a large real estate portfolio.
Now fair play to her I say, but letās call it for what it is, and it aināt Marxism. And it certainly isnāt helping black people who live in the cities she wants burned down.

I think we always knew they were shit, but we had no choice other than keep voting for the fuckers. I think it has dawned on a lot of younger people that they are only in it for the money, and they donāt actually give a fuck about anything else. They are great actors though and people love reality TV. I think there will be a revolution and fuck knows what will emerge from it.
