Its a human tendency to be in a group, to believe, to organize, to moralize, to believe in a higher purpose in life, to search for higher purpose, higher meaning, look for justice, explain the explainable, to believe in an afterlife and so on. Hating those facts or arguing against them is really quite pointless. Life is short. Smile. Love. Be happy and hopefully die after a long life, that was well lived.

Mr. Squealer you are by far the deepest thinking and best writer here on GFY, although you should throw a little less insults around..it slightly belittles your lofty perch.
Only one thing I can't seem to grasp - what exactly do you gain by the lengthy, well thought out and finely crafted posts? They must take an awful amount of time. And GFY? Don't you think your talents are a little wasted on the Neanderthals in this cesspool (not all...but most).
Really it's as if you went to a NYC dinner party with a dozen or so highly intellectual peers, but yet you wanted to go sit at the kids table and attempt to enlighten the children on the meaning of life. When the only thing most of them are concerned with is their high score on the Game Boy.
I guess you must just do it for yourself, which of course there is nothing wrong with, but I would venture to say just about no one reads those walls (with the exception of me and a couple others) and even if they did very few would grasp or take away anything of your fine wisdom (no sarcasm).
Maybe a book deal is in your future...just sayin.
PS I think you are underestimating the negative impact that social media and 24/7 News will eventually have on all religions, these technologies will advance the fall and demise of superstitions (religion) greatly in my opinion...and soon.
