Is escapism a necessary part of human life? Do you think escapism is necessary or you believe it's something that stems from the modern way and pace of living and is unnatural?

Bobby, so you believe it's okay to be rude to people because "political correctness is demonic" (=emotional correctness and politeness are demonic) and because people will be offended in life anyway? Attempting to minimize the offense and be nice to people is demonic?

Bobby, I agree with you. I think the reason why many people are still religious in our day and age is because it helps them escape, having them believing there will be a better life and everything we do has a deep meaning.

Yes. Escapism sometimes is necessary. Maybe a family member just died. Maybe you were just diagnosed with cancer. Maybe your house just burned down. Maybe you were just robbed at gun point. Would you really want to spend time being consumed with thoughts of what happened?  I think some escapism is okay. Life has it's ups and downs. We all need a way to cope with the 'downs' in life. Some people can experience a downward spiral and not be bothered by it. But some don't cope with it as easily. It's not a sign of weakness. Just like it's not a sign of weakness to cry. It's not a sign of weakness to say you need help to cope with something. It's hard to be 'brave' and put a 'smile' on your face all the time.

Bobby, I didn't mean to offend you. I don't believe in God/Goddess/deities but it's your right to believe and I respect it. It's great it helps you cope. It helps my mother too.

But Christianity isn't the only religion in the world, there are lots of them, and I wanted to say that for many other cultures and people, their religions help them as well, those who believe in Buddha, or Shintoists, they experience the holy spirits inside them too and their religions are their escapism.

With all due respect Bobby, I don't think that it's fair for you to say that Alycia's comment is "wrong" just because you disagree with it. 

Alycia, I think you've made a fair point and some people do find a form of escapism through religion.

I am also curious to know what your answer is to your own question, do you think escapism is necessary? or do you believe it's something that stems from modernism and is unnatural?
