rightly? Hitler thought he was right. The orange pusball thinks he's right. You can stuff your rightlys in a sack. (Thanks, George.)

I agree with MM that our purpose is to keep humping and making more of ourselves. Magical thinking about souls and spirits and fairies in the sky help a lot of people get through their days and nights, and feel that they have control through beliefs (or knowledge, as they like to call it).

I don't actively try to dissuade people of these crutches; there is no point to simply making someone sad.
