Sure, and it doesn't have to be xtrian. I was just pointing to the fact that religion serving as a crutch does not imply that it is the only psychological support that can be used by those people needing it for that purpose. There are reality-based coping approaches that obviously work in other cultures.

for me to believe in religon is a waste of time but i understand why some people need it. so basically yes it has value but it is a waste of time. just because something isnt right for me doesnt mean it doesnt work for someone else.

whats MPD

Re: nature of man- siegfried rambles
 

yes i agree. but many people choose religon as there crutch. these same people see no purpose in these other crutches. no matter how logical are arguments are the religous people always stick to their faith. some people refuse to see the light. you can lead a horse to water but will it drink.
