I Think Religion For Many

In The Beginning, There Were No Reasons; There Were Only Causes. Nothing Had A Purpose, Nothing Has So Much As A Function; There Was No Teleology In The World At All.

Whereas Religions May Serve A Benign Purpose By Letting Many People Feel Comfortable With The Level Of Morality They Themselves Can Attain, No Religion Holds Its Member To The High Standards Of Moral Responsibility That The Secular World Of Science And Medicine Does!

What You Can Imagine Depends On What You Know. Philosophers Who Know Only Philosophy Consign Themselves To A Janitorial Role In The Great Enterprises Of Exploration That Are Illuminating The Mysteries Of Our Lives.

Minds Are In Limited Supply, And Each Mind Has A Limited Capacity For Memes, And Hence There Is Considerable Competition Among Memes For Entry In As Many Minds As Possible.

There Is No Reality Of Consciousness Independent Of The Effects Of Various Vehicles Of Content On Subsequent Action (and Hence, Of Course, On Memory).
