    IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN USED TO MANIPULATE PEOPLE! That’s all it has ever been. It’s used to hold power over people by preying on their fear of the unknown.

      Naw, not only manipulation. It’s also poor man’s philosophy. Humans like to have an answer for the big questions wether they know wtf they’re saying or not. I think something like religion is inevitable with the absence of explanations.

      Yes. It’s used by the rich to make people into stooges to do their bidding.
