The problem with conglomerating your craziness is that whatever it conglomerates around becomes socially and politically powerful, and whatever ethos it presents tends to be deeply flawed. Self reflection and the capacity to doubt your delusions is a really important skill set for jumped up apes trying to function at a higher level, and unfortunately that’s just generally discouraged in religion. The belief system must protect and promote itself. So instead you end up supporting a bunch of pedophiles who want to fuck up the entire world, and getting all giddy about that because you just can’t wait for Jebus to come back and save us all. Still, if we could all agree that when you join a religion you give up your right to vote, perhaps that would be good enough.
