Yeah, enlightened self
Yeah, enlightened self interest- I heard about it in a movie once. "A Beautiful Mind" i think....
It isn't the best move to make for all people though....just for most people. And my point hasn't been that we should neglect this reality completely. My point is that there exists a lot beyond our understanding and Christianity is by no means a more idiotic choice than atheism. The fact that it has existed for so long yields the possiblility that some of it is based off of things that really happened. It would definitley have a stronger base than any religion we could invent now. Okay....ummm....here's a thesis statement (that means if i was writing a paper this would be in the beginning)
"Because we don't truly understand anything, Christianity is possible"
Our very existence itself is faith based. Christians having faith that somebody died for their sins 2000 years ago has just as strong of a base as the idea that trees exist. And you can't say Christianity is counter-productive because it isn't (not always anyway). It presents a solid foundation for the definitions of "good" and "evil" (allowing society to function) . Not to mention all the work Christians often do helping people.
