Good thing no one suggested religion was the sole problem.

Yeah no shit people can find other reasons, that doesn't stop the tremendously complex social zeitgeist that is the world of human experience and interaction being affected negatively by religion. And it doesn't mean that an elimination of 'magical thinking', wouldn't make the world a better place.

But to suggest that no one would ever change well,

a) what are you even doing arguing, everything is entirely unaffectable, you are committing an entirely pointless act by committing your sound and thunder to paper.

b) that is some top level misanthropy, and quite clearly not true.

Except it wouldn't change our capacity for magical thinking at all. Just what we used that magical thinking for.

I never said change was impossible. Though it sure as hell wouldn't be easy and I doubt would ever be perfect.

And the Anon I responded to did rather strongly insinuate that religious belief was the problem, yes. not organized religions, or a particular religion, but religious belief itself.

[sandor051.livejournal.com]

That's not really true though. Accepting magical thinking and creating a society in which it is treated as the norm encourages it. Given it's not something to be encouraged this suggests that religion itself is problematic. I mean believing something that's not true, and then blinding yourself to people pointing this out is problematic no? One creates a better world by relentlessly questioning and justifying everything they say and believe, the minute you accept 'oh well I just feeel it you know', is the minute things go down hill.

And people are intensely malleable, look at how we've changed in every measurable way since even five hundred years ago?
