i always think wtf when i see the fellowship eating a piece of the "body of Christ"

it also makes me wonder if the ppl who eat it feel stupid

i bet half of "believers" "fake it"

There's an old story/joke about a bench that always had a man standing on each side of it; one pair would be replaced by another so there would always be someone there. When asked why, no one knew; it was just something they'd always done. Turns out that years ago, the original two men were just asked to stand there and make sure no one sat on the newly painted bench while the paint dried.

Rituals are like this. Passed down from generation to generation and mostly useless.

Beyond evolutionary causes, as mentioned by @skado , I suspect that these silly rules are also a powerful force for group cohesion. Kind of like a secret handshake.

well if you have regressed to endlessly bashing them i guess you’re in the right place lol

..

Most human and other animal behavior is caused by evolutionary processes rather than as a result of reasoning. We only have to examine the selection influences to see the “reasons”.

The peacock’s tail is completely unreasonable.

I have done more than notice this. It is why I am here now. Others I know who still believe are gambling that ancient sheep and goat herders actually had the truth as revealed to them by some god who lived on a high mountain.

Has this been some sort of Revelation for you?

Welcome to reality and the shit-for-brains people that exist in it!

And you intend to solve this how ?
