Why do you think I have ‘family damage’ from religion? That is not what I shared a week or so back. I explained that I had rejected religion and faith (aged 12) but was familiar with many of the arguments and had spent my life (not obsessively) thinking about them and debating them with my dad. Calling that ‘family damage’ is wrong and arrogant.

Of course everyone has a world view - however incomplete or contradictory. I was referring to your world view not world views in general. It is your world view that requires a ‘why’. As far as I am concerned there is no need to overlay a supernatural explanation for natural events and evolution. What is - is. There may be a cultural drive to invent stories to make things more understandable or comfortable, but that is a human spin by the confused and disturbed. I don’t expect you or others to stop asking ‘why’. I am just saying it is not needed. How is a good question. Why is redundant.

You are really accusing someone else of ‘multiple rants’? At least you have found a sense of humour!
