How do people believe in concepts like karma or salvation or divine retribution? It seems like an invention to keep dumb poor people from revolting by telling them a security blanket lie about how there's something waiting for them after a shitty life of labor and abuse of servitude.
Only a small percentage of ultra rich / successful people are genuine about their faith. How can you believe that good and bad deeds (whatever that even means) go acknowledged?
It's almost arrogant and self centered to think small things that will be forgotten somehow have to be acknowledged by the universe.

Why do people bring their cringy "I am 16 and this is deep" insights here? There's also /v and /tv where you can go.

The real question is how do people reconcile the suffering inherent to life without some kind of belief structure? Who gives a shit if some contrarian assholes think it's silly if it allows people to go about their lives with dignity and purpose. This Marxian meme of religion as a tool of control for the masses seems like a partial truth at best.
