      I’m not so sure about that, religion is still unfortunately going strong some 6000 years later.

      I’m not entirely convinced that religion wasn’t just some prank some guy thousands of years ago cooked up that just completely and utterly spiraled from there lmfao

        The measure of an ideas longevity is how much can someone get out of that idea. People can be made into billionaires off religious manipulation but it’s difficult to persistently benefit from Neapolitan ice cream beyond how tasty it is

        Religion is obviously a mix of history with lame answers parents came up with because their annoying kids wouldn’t stop asking questions and the stupid kids believed them.
