It doesn't matter if God is real or notBeing religious makes you a healthier person, therefore it's good
Okay but you’re a chaos magician now. Congratulations, you’ve ascended to eldritch fedora.
>>18518350That's just another form of consequentialism, which makes it wrong.

>>18518486I've yet to meet a single retard who wasn't grinning ear to ear most of the time
>>18518350self deluding that you will be raped for all eternity if you dont exercise every day would also be "healthy", but i dont want to live in delusion.

>>18518350Correlation does not equal causation, as always.
>>18518350What if it is more due to a sense of community? Religious groups are a community and that could increase happiness and satisfaction in people.
