A superstitious belief, at its most potent level, provides a peace of mind born out fear of the unknown. If, instead, you had been taught that “I don’t know” is a perfectly acceptable answer to a question; if you had been taught to think critically as a youth; if you had been taught that the only way a species can survive is by members protecting themselves and their ability to provide for their families and the community in turn, and to care for the planet on which it exists; if all of these things had been different in your life, do you think you would still find yourself reading this as a weekly participant in ritual gatherings designed, in most cases, to both inhibit rational thought and promote supremacist ideologies?
Happy Sun-day, all. 🙂
