I could see that water being “neutral” on taste for most people is probably evolutionary. But I’m just speculating.

I empathize with that argument because it is reminiscent of family, but I still think some people need spirituality for their mental health. Turns out, when you think the world is less chaotic and more sorted out, it’s less exhausting to think about.

I get that it’s dangerous but especially in territories stricken with poverty you get swaths of people turning to religion, and I genuinely believe that’s because everyone wants to cling to something. And at some point I really do believe to live and let live. Specifically, when we don’t know for certain, why not let people speculate?

Science is for things we can prove, religion is for things we want to believe.

Why not use science when possible and religion when needed?

Everyone is free to believe in the funny old man controlling us and still accept that atoms exist.

These things are not mutually exclusive. And if they are to you, that’s probably because you’re a dick about it.
