    It’s not. You can read the things philosophers wrote down thousands of years ago and people didn’t think that way.

    Probably just some atheist dogma.

      "Atheist dogma?” Heh-heh.

      Just because a few enlightened philosophers understood human thought, doesn’t mean the ignorant masses, whose entire “education” is what the CLERGY tells them, didn’t believe something totally different. Why do you think religion has been such an effective control mechanism for so long, EVERYWHERE?

      For most of human history, most people got their knowledge from religious leaders who wanted control, not objective, secular teachers who taught Critical Thinking Skills and independent thought.
