Theres nothing different about him at all. The only difference is that he lived in a different time when people were a lot more superstitious etc but even back then not many people thought much of him because they killed him. People need something to cling to so they make up fables and myths. It makes them feel better if they let an external power be in control. Its all just a massive delusional mental illness. Think about it- if people claim to hear voices and have a relationship with an invisible being who lives in the sky we would ordinarily call them schizophrenic but if they get together in groups and say it, ie like religions, then we dont.
Actually religion can be something good, we just messed it up real bad. People have weak minds, so like you said, they got to things to make them feel more secure and stuff.
Maybe it was made up, maybe it wasn’t, we don’t know what’s possible
And hearing voices makes them question their life even more which means sticking to the easier part
I don't agree that religion can be good, since that word is usually taken to mean a fixed set of rules and a particular explanation for the world that was agreed by a bunch of people a long time ago, and is now enforced by some sort of bureaucratic structure that decides who can and cannot be a member of the club.
I do accept that a basic set of rules of what's right and wrong is necessary for the survival of our species, but it's entirely possible to be a moral, respectful, caring person without believing in mystical holy texts, God, heaven, hell or any other religious claptrap. In fact, history shows that people who implicitly believe that their religion provides the only true explanation of the world and the only valid rules to live by can be led on to very dark, violent and self-destructive paths by their religion's leaders.
Its good for some people in not going crazy or depressed, to have something after life and believe you are loved and all is good or to explain certain things. It can also be just your thoughts that wish for something and in that way make it come true for yourself.
But as greedy as humans are we messed up. We are simply not evolved enough and not wise at all
We all have morals anyways, none believer or believer. Well except some few
It does work without religion and it can work with
And when you look into something like Shintoism, it’s actually really nice because you learn respecting your surroundings. Like really, some have nice things
Why is Jesus more special than others who have suffered
