Yes, religion is moral outsourcing, but it’s not just outsourcing. It’s giving up responsibility for your own soul.
Instead of thinking for themselves, people hand their conscience to a higher power and say, "Tell me what’s good. Tell me what’s evil. Just don’t make me decide."
They don’t become moral... they become obedient.
And the worst part? They call this obedience virtue.
