It really is a testament to motivated reasoning that a religion can exist wherein the founder was open about it being bullshit and it’s all clearly bad sci-fi he wrote on the toilet, and all that is still in living memory. Everyone has to know it’s bullshit. It’s on record as bullshit. People who knew him are still around to tell you it’s bullshit. I can’t imagine a stupider premise for a belief system, yet it’s one of the largest in the world. I can’t even comprehend it.
