Great posts Tynan, apologies if you've had to repeat yourself for my benefit.
It does seem that a tendency to religion is just another human weakness. Those of faith use it as moral framework to justify many other weaknesses, with frightening conviction. As such it's a feed of shit.
As to the question of the evolution of human intelligence, I think if early man, living in his hostile environment had the savvy of today's average person, the sabre-tooths would have got fat and bored pretty quickly. The world would now be run by the ratses, no bad thing.
Got to go, it's Sunday morning and my catamite has just finished greasing the candles.
