RE: IS RELIGION PART OF THE HUMAN NATURE?
Great article!
Is religion directly advantageous to us or is it simply a by-product of other traits of humans which have helped us to survive throughout the years? I strongly believe that it is the latter.
I agree. I learned a lot about this some years ago from a book called "Religion Explained" by Pascal Boyer who explained how our brain functions like Agent Detection and Disgust predispose us to accept religion. There are lots of other sources on this in books and online, but that was a big one, for me.
What is this CFT I see reference to? :-) I may have missed it but didn't see it explained here in the comments. Sounds like something I may be interested in checking out.
That is a great book! I may need to re-read it since I believe that now i will understand it much better than the first time.
CFT is a group promoting free and critical thinking. It's definitely worth checking out but I do believe it might be in a foreign language for you. If you speak Greek, message me on the chat and i can give you more details.
I think I read it twice already, but maybe I'll do it once more!
Hmmm, I think the only Greek word I know is "gyro" -- quite delicious! Sounds like a good group though. I also promote free and critical thinking. Best wishes!
haha!! That will be one of the most important words if you ever have a vacation in Greece!
