Reply to comment by [deleted] in ELI5: How the hell did we go from "Bury your sword, gold, and food with you, and maybe your wife and horses", to "You can't bring money with you to the grave"? What cultural and societal event led to this shift of belief? by Preston_of_Astora
Common Sense isn't really a sizable factor when it comes to belief or tradition. There are an absurd amount of things that people still do despite not making sense in the slightest
Exhibit A: The Philippine belief that a boy must be circumcized so they can become stronger, taller, and more masculine. Does it make sense? Fuck no. Do people still believe in it? Bet your ass they do
