[quote=djack;144579]Who said if god didn't exist man would invent him.
I think that's a very good point ....and I don't think it's necessarily the result of dogma being drilled into young minds as these kids, when they grow up, don't always find what they need in the doctrine they were brought up in, if in any at all...
I think some folks simply need an 'answer' or 'direction...
and some folks simply need to 'give it up to their God" as it makes it easier for them to deal.....
they need a reason where there isn't always one....
or incentive to do what, if they spent some time at self-inflection, they know is the right thing to do without these rules being handed down to them on stone tablets, or some such.....
in short, for some it's an inherent need and for others not so much...
and I don't think that will ever change....
