Very interesting psychology. I think you're right! PEOPLE LIKE ILLUSIONS EVEN WHEN THEY KNOW THEY ARE NOT REAL!!
It's like a drug that gets them high, it's like daydreaming!!!
PEOPLE IN GENERAL ALWAYS WANT TO ESCAPE REALITY, RESPONSIBILITIES.
PEOPLE HATE TO BE BORED, ANYHING WILL DO!!!
Look at us here, any gossip, any bullshit will entertain us, right????

Your right Terry there is plenty of magic thinking when it comes to biblical or religious wisdom. We most certainly want to be carried away from the realities of life imagining something better.

what you've been discussing here is entertainment 'magic'.
talk to person who's messed with the wrong kind of magic (sorcery, demonism,black arts,spiritism,etc) i assure you there wasnt a whole lot of fooling around.
that stuff i hear is scary real...

Terry once again thank you for a logical well presented thought provoking topic.
"Fear paralyzes the brain. Progress is born of courage. Fear believes courage doubts. Fear falls upon the earth and prays courage stands erect and thinks. Fear retreats courage advances. Fear is barbarism courage is civilization. Fear believes in witchcraft, in devils and in ghosts. Fear is religion courage is science."
-by Ingersoll, Robert Green
