@ladyferox
I would loosely design religion as a supernatural belief system that once adopted rapidly fills human needs for knowing what happens after death. I can't give a narrow definition because then I leave things out. Religions are also subject to natural selection, by which I mean that throughout history more appealing, accessible and assertive religions have survived, while others have faded to nothing or near-nothing.

@AspiringPotato
What is your definition of religion?

@ladyferox
The development of the human mind is affected by factors in its environment. This is not changeable. Religion is a very strong factor that often overpowers other subtler ones. Besides, the human will always be a slave to the limitations of their own brain. Religion arguably tightens some limits and loosens others.

Okay. Lets see if I am understanding this statement. I hear you saying that you think religion does a "brain wash" so to speak. Twist the human mind into a way of thinking that is a sort of "slavery"? That the human mind is "taken over" by religious thought and so needs to be freed from this takeover. Did I get that right?

@ladyferox
No I'm not a "seeker." I'm just investigating the mechanics of how religion takes hold of the human mind and how I can contribute to the freeing up of human thought patterns over the course of the 21st century.

@AspiringPotato Now I understand a little better. You make the remark "want to see what the big deal is". It sounds like you are searching for "holiness" or "religion" or "truth". But to date, you have not found what you would consider to "meet the bill". Am I hearing you right?

@ladyferox
Well let me put it this way. Religious people are all serious about their holy books, so you want to see what the big deal is. And then you read the bible and you just laugh.

@AspiringPotato You are still very vague. Can't help but laugh about what?

@ladyferox
It's like, we got all these characters in a storybook and they think that they're so serious, but you just can't help but laugh.

@AspiringPotato I got that you think it is a comedy from the first comment. The question is, why do you think it is a comedy? What did you find that you thought was so funny?
