RE: Harmless Delusion or Destructive Mental Disorder?
I couldn't agree more. When you condition a mind to reject reason, it becomes that much more vulnerable to other influences. It's a win-win for any old psychopath.
Let's assume for a second that the hierarchy and earthly power of a 'religion' is somehow controlled at the top by someone extremely good. The trust built up in people only makes it that much easier for the hierarchy to be subverted once the 'good' leader dies.
Yeah, in my late teens, even though I kicked Christianity to the curb, my brain was still vulnerable to crazy ideologies because I hadn't yet learned how to think properly and wasn't committed to objective reality. As a result, I slipped into a bunch of alternative "new age" stuff for a couple of years. Fortunately, I got my shit together by my early twenties and it's been smooth sailing ever since.
I just wrote a new comic take on the subject, I would love your take on it.
Please let me know if it's too controversial?

Thanks! So not too controversial do you think?
