I have a functioning digestive system, and I consider food to be pretty important. I don't need any justification for it.
I'm not quite sure I follow :|
I think shazzy is saying that God is as much a requirement for humans as food is therefore you don't need any more justification for believing in god than you do for eating a Big Mac. Which means athiests and agnostics are performing a miricle by living a full healthy life without God cause you certainly couldn't live long without food. Kinda ironic that the only miricle God has performed for the last couple thousand years is to aid those who don't believe in him.

Or, perhaps, the analogy is deeply flawed.
Nah. Food was a bad example, though, since it's a basic survival need. Insert "the color orange is important to me" in that sentence instead.

Basically saying that religion can be important because someone decides it is. If I like the color orange or believe in a certain religion it's not necessarily an example of cultural brainwashing.

I didn't mean cultural conditioning in a negative sense. It is not and cannot be a physical/physiological neccesity like food, and it certainly isn't a neccesary property of human psyche. It is, however, a cultural neccesity for some people which is just as real.

Otherwise I could make some funny conclusions from that analogy you used. Such as the fact that any creature that posesses a digestive tract is capable of having religion as a neccesity. :roll:
The Birds are using humanity in order to throw something terrifying at this green pig. And then what happens to us all later, that’s simply not important to them…

Perhaps this is warped out of context from the original topic, but if we ignore the whole god bit and focus on religion, I think this does make sense. Think about it, what is religion, a set of beliefs and values. And a good excuse as any to kill billions over centuries but hey, lets try to keep this positive. We all need food, yes, and we all need a set of values and beliefs. The only difference is, do you cook your food yourself, or do you eat at McDonalds, Burger King or go do some whacky shit like Subway. (The local one scares me, it always smells like it's gone rotten, and they sure as hell don't keep it at a temperature I would even attempt to eat.)
