Comment on Haste/Impatience should have been one of the deadly sins.

So you’re saying that an all powerful God who created everything needed to come up with a convoluted way to game the system of sacrifice that he created, by splitting himself into a human form, sending that form to Earth, and brutally executing him, in order to “save” humanity? Also, he’s all loving, but if you don’t literally worship him, you will burn for all eternity.

That makes sense to you?

No, not that summary.

(Please excuse that quip)

There is a difference between the usage of the story as explanation of the physical reality and as a way of interacting with the spiritual reality.

Law works because we assume free will while there is not much room for it. Similarly, a society can be constructed by telling more elaborate stories. Those stories don’t have to be true but they can be formed by many hours of critical thought.

    But then, are numbers real?

    Numbers are actually useful. And no, not all of them are real.
