Quote by: argonak Well to begin with, if everyone but you believes in these invisible giant rabbits, would they all be considerd insane, or would you? Insanity is merely a condition of thinking where you percieve a world outside of social norms. |
There is a parable about this called the Emperor’s New Clothes. The moral of that story is that all is not well when there is mass psychosis. The problem is that people that decide to live in a dream world will still be affected by the real world and ignoring it will not make it go away. Also we will do better for ourselves if we admit to the reality of the real world and learn as much about it as we possibly can.

Secondly, if Harvey the Giant Invisible Rabbit's primary philsophy is to work very hard, always be honorable and true, love your family and your neighbor, and live a healthy life, I think you would have a very powerful, vibrant nation.

It is not the good things of a religion that makes it undesirable. Even Hitler made the trains run on time and the Germans loved him greatly. Ignoring reality because there may be some nice things about your delusion is no way to live. It is also a lot easier for some maniac to control the population if they are already trained to ignore reality and follow any dang fool that tells them what they want to hear. Gee, sounds familiar.
