Almost every justification for a defined or organised religion (in this thread and elsewhere) ends up boiling down to the same basic thing:

An attempt to explain the unexplained and the unexplainable in simplistic, humanised ways using human faces and human emotions.

Actually, these days it's often things that can be explained, but only in concepts that are not easily digested by most people.

That's not even arrogance - I'm not saying that I fully understand or can easily digest high level physics like quantum mechanics or the intricacies of space-time - but I do know that others do have a much higher level of understanding of these things and I'm content with that. I don't feel the need to bulge my eyes at these mysteries and say "OMG shrug guess it must be God."
