Religion is incompatible with civilised life.
Religion is an endemic mental illness. I'd say people should keep it to themselves and once they leave their house, I don't want to hear anything about it, or it's off to the mental institution.
I agree. Religion equates to mob mentality.
Or a cult mentality which is why the overlap between MAGA and religion is so huge.
That‘s unfair! What have the poor guys in the mental institution done to deserve this?
Be careful, you'll upset the "real christians", who will tell you about how this person is a "fake", because Jesus said "love thy neighbor", and all the other things in the Bible "don't count" for some reason.
No, religion as a concept is incompatible with civilized life. Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism etc. all make human life on earth objectively worse. Whether they are the origin or just an outlet for human depravity doesn‘t matter, they all need to be left in the past. Or the past with all its wars and suffering will not leave us.
Nonsense. They also uplift people and do a lot of good in the world. Billions of people find benefits in religion. The problem is human nature.
Yes, human nature being susceptible to violent propaganda from religious groups that deliberately creates in-groups and demonizes out-groups which leads to war and genocide at the behest of the rich who are the only beneficiaries.
I look at it like organized crime, you can invest your time, money and mind and you might see some benefits for yourself and your family but it causes untold harm to others and is a net negative overall.
Tell us you're not paying attention to the rest of the world without telling us you're not paying attention to the rest of the world.
Like fuck they aren’t.
Don’t say “religion” when you only mean Christianity.
None of the Abrahamic religions are good.
Find me a religion that can't be used for evil and ill change my mind.
IIUC, the Torah is homophobic.
