Tradition isn't necessarily a bad thing; much of it is old wisdom we've forgotten the origin of.

had i dream i went to jail yesterday

uhm, question: why are the debates cancelled?

I was raised religious, then I took a science class

so

trump with covid maybe?

religious or not, honor other people's beliefs alsong as it isnt: lmao ur penis is small

because they demanded it be done virtually, and Trump declined

if you need a piece of writing to tell you not to kill; you are a psychopath anyways

even tho he's tested negative

most people just know they shouldn't kill

i don't kill bible or not

if debates are going to happen it needs to happen in person.... not over a fucking zoom call.

nobody needs a piece of paper to tell them not to kill

you dont need a anectdotal 2000 year old fart to tell you that

ive had religion stuffed down my throat my whole life

really easy to set biden up with a teleprompter at that point

that's a give-in

I used to be religious

and forced to go to church

same

and I didnt care

it didnt bother me

I went to church as a kid, sunday school and everything.

a lot of what they said was actually very relatable and good in terms of morals

but I got driven away by "radicals"

thanks for the answers

people who were "fake" because of religion

do catholics go to church every sunday?

eg. one of my friends was gay and liked me back in HS, but he wouldnt say it because he was a strict religious person and had the fake image of this perfect like noble dude

even you youre 100% atheist, study the bible as if it is a fable (STUDY IT AS ONE IF YOU ARE ATHEIST im not trying to offend anyone) @DrewDaPilot but the bible does provide good lessons, even if you dont follow it strictly

im forced to go to church every sunday, sunday night, wednesday, every event, whenever the church needs help etc.

eg. one of my other friends (who I still talk to today) interprets the bible literally, which is dangerous in many respects. Dehumanizes certain groups, believes in chemtrails, and I am not equating this all to the bible, but

a piece of 2000 year old text shouldn't be interpreted literally

why

at best it should be anectdotal

because, the piece tries to define how people live their lives

I believe there are a lot of good morals in religion, and some bad ones. I cant believe that some crazy people have told me I cant have morals or be a morally good person unless I become very religioius.

its a stark contrast from an old document like the constitution which protects individuality

the constitution needs to be interpreted somewhat literally, else it looses all meaning
