Pope Leo the VII said it best;
"the smallest of minds are the easiest to fill with faith".
And he was SO very right about that!

They obviously don't, that's why they're called oversimplifications. If they helped us gain moral clarity, they'd just be called simplifications. Incidentally, simplifications do sometimes help us gain moral clarity.

No they don't, but many religions treat them that way.
Perfect example is the use, and over simplification of Free Will as a tool to provide moral clarity and reasoning for all knowing God's creation of people destined for hell.

Did you want fries with your gross oversimplification?
Would you like to upsize it for just 25 cents more?
The fast food mentality of modern religion, eh?
In my day it was called whitewash (in polite company) and hogwash otherwise.
Seems people just aren't happy with their world view unless it's ground ultra-fine and served with special sauce.
Now I'm just rambling... I'll go away.

Wouldn't any answer to your question be a gross oversimplification?

OOh yes!
I find that since I joined the Church of Pollyanna I have been much happier!
Of course, being legless is a bit of a bummer.

Doing good is good! Oversimplifying just oversimplifies things.
