Cosmic daddy

Religion is the perfect psychological parasite. Organized terror management. The human animal realized it was going to die, and the mind couldn't handle the sheer panic of its own expiration date. So it invented a cosmic daddy to promise a sequel. Religion relies on the biological terror of death, which never goes away. Mind demands permanence in a world that is constantly dying. Religion provides the illusion of the eternal. It includes all spiritual crap out there. Hope is the actual drug. People don't want the truth, just some pacifier. They will kneel in the dirt for thousands of years talking to the ceiling because the alternative, facing the absolute, cold indifference of the universe alone, is too terrifying for the fragile ego to process. Universe doesn't know shit. Atoms don't have a philosphy or religion. They just obey thermodynamics. A rotting corpse, a shattered mountain, and a blooming flower are the exact same mechanical process. Atoms shifting states.
