Religion

(8,317 posts)You seemed to understand what I meant before, now you don't. Sure you're not getting dementia or something?
again:
"By any measure, religion, metaphysics, priori, intuition, all that is suppose to relate, in some way, to the physical world. "
Most people would UNDERSTAND that to mean "apply to," "relevant to," "bear upon," "concern," "have a bearing on," "have to do with," "pertain to," "refer to," "relate to," "touch," "effect," "associate."
Do you understand any of those?
What good is anything if it doesn't "relate to" human problems or human experiences? Religion is even more worthless if it doesn't relate to human experiences/problems. Some even think they have supernatural abilities to affect the physical world. Uri Geller, benny hinn, other charlatans (to god damn many to name).
Of course then there are also the other "new age" people (deepak chopra), who seem to think homeopathic medicine works, or in crystals, or in other nonsense, and try to wrap it in a "scientific" veneer. They're another category altogether.
