Most of them mean well but they just stupid

@EnderOctanus not gonna lie, hitler did nothing wrong when it comes to the JWs

Or just study on your own and worship without a structure like the church

@galesteppes Now you see why I just instinctively distrust everything I guess, at least.

Or just worship yourself

@Amir have you met a JW you cucknuk?

they're annoying, preachy assholes who'll tell you that you will go to hell if you don't convert

@EnderOctanus you can't deny though that "easter worshippers" as they're called, built up all of europe

They also abuse the shit out of the religious exemption from vaccines iirc

@Tero What do you mean

They're probably the ones going to hell then just for being annoying cunts lel

@Amir I **will not** administer first aid or call for help for a JW

you say you have a distrust of all the religious now

@galesteppes I see the importance of religion. In fact right now we're seeing the results of rampant hedonism without moral guidance.

but all of europe and etc. were built by quite religious men

I do

But there's also a problem of dogmatic absolutism.

I believe it would have been developed more quickly if most of the alchemists weren't executed.

isaac newton himself

was an alchemist

Big if true

and very religious

wanna exclude him?

Newton was legendary.

Their religion betrayed them.

At least the org

I don't care about individual religious people

Copernicus.

I don't like institutions and preachers that build up power

It took until what... recently for the Catholic church to forgive him for being scientifically right?

Basically

Catholic Church has who knows how many holy documents it is keeping from all of Christendom, that they themselves don't even know the extent of it.

Religion becomes too powerful unopposed.

Did the Catholic Church ever apologize for the treatment of Galileo?

Some priests have but only Pope can speak for the church

Took a lot longer to forgive Copernicus though.

Pope John Paul ii is most based Pope.

@galesteppes idk dude. That's complicated AF.

I mean.... when you conceive a child you're doing so under the assumption that it will be healthy and self sustaining eventually.

So.... maybe you can have an abortion on the grounds of breakage of contract?
