Why are people so obsessed with religion?

I don't think people are obsessed with religion.. You mean why are people so religious.. By human nature we all believe that there is something more than us.. Even Atheist might believe that there is something more than just humans.. Even if they don't believe in an afterlife, or deities..

[Kaneki05]

Need something other than just living to give them a reason to live. Unlike other creatures which just live to live. Blame humans complex nature of how we came to be smart but dumb.

[Kinkyhair]

EXACTLY!!!

[JDavid25]

Most people are "religious" in one way or another.. So if most humans prefer to believe in something bigger than themselves.. That points to the fact that maybe, just maybe there is something out there bigger than ourselves that's not just... The Universe..

[Kaneki05]

@JDavid25 Most people are idiots so maybe if they believe in a spaghetti monster that points to the fact that maybe, just maybe there is something out there bigger than ourselves...
What a great point.

[JDavid25]

Most people are uninformed but not idiots.. Most people also speak to the nature of humanity.. Even Atheist believe in something bigger than themselves.. Just not deities..

[Kaneki05]

Atheists believe? I am sorry to say you are part of most people if you don't know that is atheists are the absence of belief we do not believe in something bigger than ourselves lmao.

[JDavid25]

Atheist have an absence of beliefs in deities and the spiritual, but y'all definitely believe in something.. Even something bigger than yourselves.. Science for 100..

[Kaneki05]

@JDavid25 Science is not a belief it's the simple explaining of how things work by factual studies. So say it's belief is like saying the fact water is good for us is just a belief.

[JDavid25]

I know science itself is not a belief but people believe and put faith in "The Science" like it is their religion and settled.. It takes faith to believe that we evolve from being walking fish like creatures to full humans when there's really no evidence of that..

[Kaneki05]

@JDavid25 There is shit tons of evidence for that. And there is no faith at all in that, it's all based on evidence which is not faith. You really need to learn if you think there is no evidence for evolution, because not knowing that makes you either super ignorant or really dumb who just don't understand science overall. You choose which you want it to be but either way you shall be laughed at by anyone who knows anything about science.

[Kaneki05]

If you want simple proof of evolution just learn how viruses and bactria adapts it's not hard to then make the link. But if it still is for you then sorry you can't understand it because honestly it is upsetting when people cannot understand the amazing facts of how evolution works same for any topic in science there is a lot of interesting cool amazing things that have all been proven.

[JDavid25]

I wasn't talking about Evolution itself but things likes Evolving from walking fish like creatures to the humans we are today.. And we don't seem to be getting any smarter or stronger.. And yeah there's micro evolution in which things can adapt.. But thousands of years of change cannot be observed.. So it definitely takes faith to believe a lot of Evolution..

[Kaneki05]

@JDavid25 it's quite literally been observed as we speak by tons of scientists working their current day jobs but your lack of understanding shows here. Go listen and watch scientists talk about the evidence we have for it and how we can observe evolution in everything. We ourselves are made up of Bactria that right there is proof we all evolved from the same thing as in showing we are all just complex Bactria. Then we go back further we all atoms which again proves that we all come from the same thing whether your gas or a human your still just atoms.
We've got bones, dna and all these things that can easy tract evolution. It's not faith. And humans have tons of studies showing that we are getting smarter? so what you even on about? and we've study how humans have changed tons over time from even just our skull shapes changing.

If you think these things cannot be observed and scientists are just coming up beliefs then you have no understanding of science. Since it's all about observation. You are just saying things that aren't true and it's starting to annoy me.

[JDavid25]

Like I said Macro Evolution cannot be observed.. No matter how annoyed you get.. If it could it wouldn't still be a theory but the facts or the truth.. But the truth is that they cannot prove the existence of the big bang nor can they prove the beginning of our evolution.. It takes faith to believe in a lot of the stuff they put out there..

[Kaneki05]

@JDavid25 And there we go proof you are an idiot fully. A theory don't mean what you think it does when it comes to science. I was just thinking I bet this guy thinks a theory is just a theory, and you actually do which is funny af. According to your logic Gravity is just a theory not proven but nope it's proven, along with the big bang and the rest of them. A theory does not mean it's not proven in science when you learn that, come back to me. And evolution is 100% observed like I've already said so stop saying bullshit that's simply untrue.
It's very obvious that you know little about science and if I was a betting man I would put money you've never read Hawkings books, nor listened to Tyson, nor Dawkings or hell never read any Einstein works come back to me when you do.

[JDavid25]

I know what a theory means my dude.. But a theory is not a fact or truth.. It's literally just an educated guess with evidence.. It's not solidified, but it makes sense because there is a lot of things going for it.. And no Evolution has not been 100% observed just like the big bang has never been 100% observed.. You don't seem to understand what Micro and Macro Evolution are.. Macro Evolution cannot be observed because unless we have technology that can take us back millions and billions of years, it cannot be observed.. We can observe Micro evolution when things adapt.. Also when people say "Trust the Science" that's literally saying "have faith in the Science".. You have faith that the "Science".

[Kaneki05]

No scientist would ever agree with you nor do I. Because again your just showing lack of understanding what a theory is science. And it's observed all the time so again your just repeating the same bullshit. If it's not observed what do you think scientists do just sit on there arse? and think ah what if this happened then people just nodded and agree. Not how that works.
But I'll just link you to this www.fieldmuseum.org/.../what-do-we-mean-theory-science
Tbh I doubt you would be able to wrap your head around it but you can try. And no that's not saying you have faith in science that's saying you trust the evidence put in front of you because it has been proven. Faith is trusting something without proof and evidence, science is all about evidence and proof.
I am done with this argument, the fact you don't understand that science is about evidence while faith is about the lack of evidence just proved my point about how most people are idiots.
If all scientists would disagree with you and massive names like dawkings and hawkings would tell you it's not faith nor anything alike to religion when they are ahead of their fields then your the one who's talking out of his arse about something he is no stake in.

They aren't

They are obsessed with morals, and status - which are different things.

[Dargil]

Why are people so obsessed against religion? What are you afraid of?

[Dargil]

They are afraid believers are right.

[TwoToTooTutu2]

It's awesome, the truth, and the only way to uncover the secrets of the universe.

[BCRanger10]

In what ways?

[In_Trance]

Because people can't deal with existentialism

[Twalli]

It brings a sense of purpose and direction

[JohnK123]

Because people can be…
