That's some hypocritical logic: Living in a hologramic world and criticising a classic portrait(yet that's where art started) is what you're doing right now. Religion has structure because it's not a yesterday thing. There are years of discussions and editing involved into forming a "concrete" religion. Look at for example Sikhism, it is a relatively new religion. It started out somewhere like a lost deitist now.
If your logic was perfect then "religion" should be an indefinitely old practice :sdo:
The difference between a religionist and me is that I believe in a higher being that doesn't influence current actions not just "because", simply because I haven't witnessed any form of miracle to prove his interference. Like a computer scientist coding a file.
Public Class shit on me
{
public static void main(String[]args)
{
system.out.println("shit on me");
}
}
As much as I created the class above and can predict it's outcome: "I have no control during its compilation, I am just waiting for my creation to unfolding while having no influence over it at that point" <== This is where my core belief lie if you're so interest on it.
I don't understand coding in the slightest bro, so I don't get your analogy whatsoever, lmao. But in response, there is no issue with religion taking years of structuring, and reformations, and editing, etc. As you stated, Sikhism was constructed by deist. The same goes for all religions. And seeing how these religions came to fruition after centuries of development, compared to deists of ancient times that believed in a god with no logic, rhyme or reason shows that religion holds some form of logic and explanation.
It is religion that separates the theists from the atheists. Let me ask you, why do you believe in god(s)?
