Religion DOES cause problems - but government prohibitions don't really curb the religious. It creates martyrs and shit
religion may give people hope but its a scam
For example, despite the USSR, Russia is still a deeply religious state
you give them a ton of money monthly
and it divides the working calss
class*
well yeah it is a scam if you don't believe in it
The many years of prosecution and it being "under the table" didn't really change the sentiment of the Russian people - who are still fanatically faithful and intellectually defunct on many faith-related issues
but what do you think many people would do without religion? it is way easier to just believe something happened because god said so.
Religion is a disease, and Education is the antidote (for this, and many other problems)
I know some people that want to be religious really bad because they think it is an easy way of life
im not religious and im fine
yeah me too
but not everyone I think
I "want" to be religious too - believing in magic and shit is really fun. Takes me back to my childhood.
its a sad way to look at the world
Hard drugs can replicate some of those delusions
this world is shit right now but hey "god wants it this way!!!"
.
"god will save us!"
bye
that is one way to see it. And I think it makes people want to continue to live
Religion is a band-aid. Band-aids serve their purpose.
well the debate isn't about if "god" is "true" or not but rather about how it weights on society
So is your pussy
Tear that shit off
🕋
Even when a child is dying of cancer, a band-aid can have the placebo effect of making them feel better.
Religion has a pretty wide utility
yeah and I think that is religion for most people
and we shouldn't get rid of it. If that was something you wanted to do
We shouldn't "get rid of it" through artificial means, yes
By educating people, the trash will take itself out
That's how easy it is
Access to information, and education
I mean... that's one way to say it
PERHAPS religious belief is something that is simply inescapable for some percentage of human beings. MAYBE it can't be completely "overcome"
But we still let people with down syndrome do their thing without oppressing them
So let them be.
Can y’all stfu
