@Profblueu Comparative Religion in college did it for me
@Profblueu the theme of life after life suggests that even our highly evolved brains (in some cases, anyway 🤷) still struggle mightily with the fear of death coupled with a narcissistic, instinctual desire for continuance that expresses as procreation, similar to other species.
The more religions I studied, I was smacked by how obvious it is that humans weave fantastical stories to
construct order and meaning.
For one to elevate and demand respect for their own imagining over countless others is the epitome of arrogance and toxic bias.
