Level 9

Imagine how I felt yesterday when I found that a young favorite actress of mine was having some trouble and depression in her life so she turned to religion, started mumbling to the sky, and became an anti-vaxxer. Totally ignorant.

Religion gets you at your weak moments like - going through a hardship, your loved one being sick, financial problems, health problems or facing a hard challenge that you have no confidence in solving. One of my hardcore atheist cousins turned to religion when his daughter got sick. I am sure his wife persuaded him. There is another thing that happens that most don't vividly notice. The religious slowly start gathering around him/her and start giving advice.

Ignorant? Are they now? No, they've chosen to lobotomize themselves knowing that many alternative are available. The insecurity of not being special in their own minds blocks rationality, and the lies they know are lies are embraced anyway.

Level 8

Crazy for sure. Why would an all knowing being need such foolish rituals?
