Replying to Avatar Alan ₿

"Morals are a by-product of religion, necessary as they are. For creativity and sanity man needs to have, or at least to feel, a meaningful relation to and union with life, with reality itself. It is not enough that he be related to a human group or a human ideal, for he knows that men and peoples die, and that beyond them is a more permanent reality."

That's where the state coopts religion. Or religion coopts the state. Either way, the nonsense exists to protect power.
