God is nothing

The social psychology books I have read mentioned that religion has made a positive contribution to the development of human civilization, which cannot be denied. But in this era, in an environment where science is so developed, when people's cognition of things is very different from before, shouldn't the power of religion be weakened? Interest in this subject was greatly stimulated after I met some Christians. When I think about it myself, the word "absurd" comes up from time to time. When I question something in the Bible, their most common answer is: I don't know, that's what Bible teaches us, we don't question, we just follow. Indeed, what a hassle. Most of them are also kind people, just given a strange, sticky, missionary air to their dealings with others. That friendly relationship that was missionary in the first place seems to be meaningless if you appear to be at odds with their beliefs or firmly atheist.

Can religious fanaticism be explained by collective fanaticism? Do horrific things in the name of religion, do the exercisers feel blessed? Does the feeling of being blessed come only from religious acts or thoughts? It doesn't seem to be.

I attended the Christian conference in the UK only yesterday, and there were more than 1,000 people at the venue. The reason I went was just to get acquainted with my British friends, so as not to make it look like I didn't participate in any activities. The process was not unexpected at all, singing, giving speeches, and interviewing. Speaking of interviews, one of the passages has 2 foreigners and 1 Chinese. The skin tone is evenly distributed, and the order of presentation is: white, black, yellow. Bai said he learned that he had a tumor in his neck the year before last, and was told he had half a year to live, so he started reading the Bible and praying in the hospital. He is now in good health. The black woman said that she was a single mother of 2 children. She also suffered from a relatively serious disease and encountered financial difficulties. At that time, the entire Christian community helped her physically, mentally and financially. It was the Chinese girl’s turn. She said that she was an international student because of her limited ability and felt difficult to study in the UK, so she prayed to Jehovah for help. As a result, not only did he successfully complete his studies, but the roommate in the same dormitory has now become her student.

Maybe the Chinese girl, like me, hoped to integrate into the local society in the UK without being isolated, so she found local Christian members who were especially friendly to Chinese people. I became friends with them naturally, and went to church every Sunday to strengthen my friendship with them. It's just that she probably thinks it's a blessing from God, and I've only been to a few weeks because I'm lazy, so my social circle doesn't expand, and I don't have the desire to join them and spread the word together. Maybe she doesn't really believe it, it's just that this is more conducive to development in other places; maybe she also thinks those words are absurd and uninhibited, and they will be laughed at in front of the Chinese. Or maybe she's experimenting with a paper of the same name as a film called "On the Absurdity of Religion."

PS1: I found this film while searching for comedy.
