Ellul says the destruction of traditional religions directly causes the invention of new ones, and he’s REALLY smart, so you’re wrong OP. Sorry but you’re wrong

We never needed religion. Just like we don’t need 4chan. It was something that mankind chose to create, and plenty of people have gotten by without it all throughout history.

Well, if we are getting sematical we dont need a lot of things. Anyways, usually in practice, religion seems to be less explicitly instrumental to a goal and more a conceptual grounds of understanding.

Overall religion has done more harm than good in the world, yes it's given hope to many but it's also been the catalyst in fucking up countless impressionable minds and perpetuating greater degrees of cruelty

So you see things in terms of pure instrumentality? I seriously doubt most people in history and today have a specific religious belief because it has an endgoal like a hammer is made to drive in a nail. Its more a basis of worldveiw.

These nerds were propositioned by Epstein, they did not initially seek him out. This was for a science conference / meeting hosted by Epstein. He was a huge pseud and in his own imagination believed people in the pic were the foremost experts in their fields, rather than public faces (although some of them are esteemed, not in proportion popular recognition)
