The mind needs a cause to attach itself to, otherwise it descents into Nihilism. If one looks at atheism too deeply life becomes to begin to be pointless.
Intelligent christian males, gifted with science, cling to Christianity because they view it as opposite to modernity - Moderns with no moral values. They view Christianity as the cause, the last bastion of purpose and meaning to their life.
Kevin Solway’s cause is to bash religion. People who preach against attachment is suffering…That is the cause, to preach against attachment. They themselves are attached to the cause.
It is no coincidence that all ancient societies even pagans endorsed some kind of gods or religion. The human mind needs eternity to give itself weight and purpose. Otherwise, it begins to jump past the atmosphere, into the outer voids, possibly losing all gravity and attachment to everything. The human mind needs to look forward to an eternity of bliss…Because if it starts to believe that Earth is all there is, a bunch of reincarnations into random bodies, mix of suffering and pleasure, art and food merely meant to sustain itself, with no real goal, no real salvation or purpose, it starts to detangle and lose all sense of purpose.
