Thinking sodomy is evil

2017-08-05 18:11:46 UTC  

Etc.

2017-08-05 18:11:50 UTC  

yeah

2017-08-05 18:12:27 UTC  

It is more than that Josef, basic to humanity

2017-08-05 18:12:35 UTC  

Anywhere you put man

2017-08-05 18:12:40 UTC  

You get language

2017-08-05 18:12:47 UTC  

And religion

2017-08-05 18:12:52 UTC  

language, money, religion

2017-08-05 18:12:52 UTC  

These two things

2017-08-05 18:13:00 UTC  

Rome, the Byzantine empire, the Ottoman Empire all shaped Europe and were based on religious beliefs

2017-08-05 18:13:00 UTC  

Not money

2017-08-05 18:13:16 UTC  

Religion is not just the actual aspects

2017-08-05 18:13:23 UTC  

None of those empires would have expanded without religion

2017-08-05 18:13:37 UTC  

But a holistic view of existence as MEANINGFUL

2017-08-05 18:13:49 UTC  

This is motivationally essential

2017-08-05 18:14:03 UTC  

Religion gives existence meaning

2017-08-05 18:14:04 UTC  

And keeps our psyche grounded

2017-08-05 18:14:09 UTC  

also interestingly, despite the modern stereotype based on southern hicks that religiosity and learning are antithetical, throughout history it's been the religious priests who kept literacy and historical records going

2017-08-05 18:14:22 UTC  

More than that, nothing else really does

2017-08-05 18:14:32 UTC  

But of course you are right

2017-08-05 18:14:58 UTC  

Leftism comes close as an antireligion

2017-08-05 18:15:04 UTC  

I also think a lack of a overwhelming dominant religion in Africa is the reason Africa is so backwards

2017-08-05 18:15:06 UTC  

A parody of faith

2017-08-05 18:15:14 UTC  

No it has religion

2017-08-05 18:15:23 UTC  

Embedded in all of life

2017-08-05 18:15:33 UTC  

What it doesnt have is philosophy

2017-08-05 18:15:49 UTC  

Not one singular dominant one, like America and Europe

2017-08-05 18:15:55 UTC  

And Asia

2017-08-05 18:15:56 UTC  

Oh right

2017-08-05 18:15:59 UTC  

Well east Asia

2017-08-05 18:16:08 UTC  

those people all battle deep seated existential depression though, and end up either on prozac or at raves doing drugs . Now that these "EDM festivals" are so common, it seems the official secular religious service is now held on fridays and saturdays and is called a rave

2017-08-05 18:16:09 UTC  

Maybe, I dont think so but maybe

2017-08-05 18:16:28 UTC  

Africa would have been better under white Christian rule

2017-08-05 18:16:33 UTC  

For example islamic and christian nigs do connect beyond tribe

2017-08-05 18:16:35 UTC  

Like it was

2017-08-05 18:16:38 UTC  

I see raves as outright satan worship, I always have. Just put a statue of ba'al in there or something

2017-08-05 18:16:42 UTC  

Its still small scale though

2017-08-05 18:16:52 UTC  

What do you mean better Josef

2017-08-05 18:16:56 UTC  

Not better

2017-08-05 18:17:00 UTC  

More developed

2017-08-05 18:17:07 UTC  

Forward thinking, technologically advanced and yes better
