tpfkar Indoctrination. Both of the father figure type and of there has to be ultimate reasons beyond your own for everything. The religious drive for the perfection of eternity of one form or another. Facing mortality. Many people are tempted grasp at all sorts of irrationalities when it sinks in that they and their loved ones won't live forever.
Gone Daddy GoneEven a lot of people who were raised non religious eventually embrace some kind of theistic religion which gives their life the 'meaning' that they feel that it has been lacking. It's not always a case of people being born into religion (although it usually is). Religion is obviously some kind of salve to put on an existential wound (perhaps being that at some level, people do have some kind of existential dread of the futility of life). Facing mortality is possibly the main one, and people don't only grasp at irrationalities for their own consolation, but also grasp for irrational justifications to curtail the bodily autonomy of other people in order to validate the value of life. Well, some morbidly depressed people field crassly dishonest and/or deranged definitions of "bodily autonomy" among other concepts and fervently wish to bring everyone down to their own state of perpetual misery.
On that note, you've also called me "deranged", which is the mental illness equivalent of "n*****". |
