CMV: Religion Is a Human Construct, and Life Is a Purely Biological Process
I held the view that all religions are completely human made systems rather than objective or universal truths. This view developed over time through reading, observation, and personal reflection, not from a single event. Across cultures and history, religions differ widely in their gods, rules, moral systems, and explanations of life and death. This inconsistency makes them seem more like cultural products shaped by geography, politics, and psychology than descriptions of a shared external reality.
From a biological and scientific perspective, human life appears to follow a simple pattern: birth, development, reproduction, and death. Consciousness seems to arise from brain activity, and when the brain permanently stops functioning, consciousness ends. I do not see empirical evidence for souls, an afterlife, rebirth, or divine judgment beyond what is claimed through faith or tradition. To me, religion functions primarily as a way to reduce fear of death, provide social order, and give people a sense of meaning and control in an uncertain world.
What might change my view would be clear, independently verifiable evidence of consciousness existing without a functioning brain, or consi
From my side, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome
From my side, the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here so the response doesn’t surprise me That’s just my read on it.
Real talk, the signal is clear, the strategy less so Curious how this plays out.
To be fair, this comes across more reactive than planned and that’s where it gets complicated That’s just my read on it.
If you zoom out, the direction makes sense but the details are messy which makes the reaction pretty predictable
the timing matters more than people admit
From the outside, the signal is clear, the strategy less so That part stands out. Feels like an opening move, not an ending. That’s the impression it gives me.
the signal is clear, the strategy less so which explains why reactions are split That’s what makes this interesting. Let’s see what happens next.

Stepping back, the signal is clear, the strategy less so and that’s where people will push back That’s the key detail here. This could age very differently in a week.
the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage That’s what changes the context. Hard to say where this lands long term. At least from my perspective.
