It's amazing how humans created something in their imagination called God, which basically comprises everything they cannot understand.
It's even more amazing that they made religions out of it and bound ethical codes to what they call God.

Living a good life, helping the poor, being a kind and ethical person is nothing else than adaptation to social living for the general good of the human species.

Despite the fact that religion is against the very basic human logic, it is widely spread even among humans with the highest IQ. The reason is?

not sure it is..... but, in any event - however irrational it may seem in our 21st century secular society - supernatural belief has clearly had genetic advantages. perhaps an ability to 'suspend disbelief' (so to speak) provides a buffer against the trials and tribulations of life... (eg. loss, grief, dealing with disaster, fear of death). this would prevent depression and other mental health illnesses, which would have an adverse affect on gene survival....

btw... these tcs seem quite angry...

Yes... those CYs suffering under the Turkish Occupation do seem to be very unhappy.

Perhaps they should get religion.

That's because they are surrounded by adabizims.

no not irrational at all. This is the reason.

I bet the these TCs seem quite angry after spending so much time for a stupid karasakal boy and his religious nonsense

guys... perhaps unwittingly, we have arrived at the root cause of the cyprus problem... tcs, generally, tend not to be so religious. (there are reasons for this - let me know if u want me to expand on why). while logical, this lack of conviction, or inability to 'suspend disbelief', means tcs are less able to deal with the trials and tribulations of life. rather than believe in a supernatural 'god' to make it all ok (ie. themselves, for belief in god, boils down to a belief in self) they've wanted someone temporal to make it all ok. enter mama turkiye... but unlike god, who doesn't exist, and therefore can demand nothing in return for His "love", mama turkiye does exist, and does want a return. ie. their sorry ass.

amen...

Here are a couple more less than happy CYs subsidising Turkey's attempt to annex the north...

From Hurriyet...


General Secretary of the Turkish Cypriot Primary School Teachers’ Trade Union, or KTÖS, Şener Elçil, reacted in the following way: “Mr. Governor [ambassador] avoids seeing the realities in the north of the island and is trying to cover it up with various remarks and talks about a bulky structure, which is a segregationist structure built by themselves in the first place. Are you not the one who said, ‘Go for tourism or trade’ and not the one who closed Sanayi Industry Holding down, disassembled factories and moved them out? With the austerity package you have imposed on us while forcing the Turcocypriot youth to move out, you also have brought a crowd into the north and made Turcocypriots pay for employment, food, health, and education expenditures of this crowd. Have you not? And now, you are lecturing us. As we don’t have money for education, health and economy is it Turcocypriot’s making to build mosques or religious complexes more than schools in almost every town?”

Let’s also hear what the United Cyprus Party, or BKP, General Secretary İzzet İzcan said: “You will grant properties of Grecocypriots, the most beautiful land of our country and valuable assets of Turcocypriots to your cronies for nothing and transfer population to the north of the island and let Turcocypriots die out as you prevent a durable solution to the Cyprus dispute. You will take us hostage during the European Union membership process and use us as a trump-card to say, ‘I have strategic interests,’ then turn around and ask us to pay the price. Turkey’s real intention is to make the north of Cyprus a province of its own, increase the population to a million and bring another Hatay [Antioch] example into life.”
