    Maybe the true attraction of religion has little to do with the distractors and is *just* that, like academia, it gives life a plot arc.

        your previous jokey post on deontology, virtue ethics, and outcomes gets close to the "invariant" concept i referred to earlier

        i.e. the unreasonable consequential effectiveness of virtue ethics suggests some truth embedded in virtues

        just as the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematical laws in predicting outcomes suggests math embedded in reailty

        There's a plot arc to the narrative of empiricism as well. It's just that the religious plot is far more interesting.

        I have long called such tactics 'terminators'. Not the android kind, the stopping your mind from asking for answers kind.

        if there is some actual real truth, maybe ppl personfied it like they do everything else, and the error is in personification
