@Deleted User agree

I grew up in a family that was kinda religious, but not really. My parents weren't all that religious and never forced me to believe anything. My uncle tried to convert me to Christianity, but I couldn't force myself to get into it

Religion is both good and bad

my parents are more or less agnostic i think they both believe in reincarnation or some shit

Religion is pretty toxic. Like I don't want to come off as a dick, but I think Muslims should be more severely vetted. Around 50% of them believe in shariah law (a law where people who say bad stuff about Muslims or Islam should be punished)

i think organized religion is whats bad

religious belief in general isnt inherently toxic

Bad in the sense that it creates arguments and conflict. Good in the sense that I've seen it help some get out of depression.

me and all my sisters are atheists, my religious parents (heil greek orthodox church) did not take it well for years

@KindledNinja can't forget how much they hate the gays

Yeah. Churches make me pop a rage boner when i walk past them.

that's hope, not religion

I'm agnostic myself, but I come from a religious family

Religion gives hope

That's the thing

@DuskyDawn7 And their abuse and stoning to death of women.

While giving a bunch of other horrible shit, hope can be found elsewhere

religious institution is what i take issue with but not religious individuals

Here we have a saying "Never trust a doctor with too many pictures of saints in his office"

and it's true, I always trust a bit less religious people

Religion is what I like to call "concentrated ignorance," a way for ignorants to explain things they can't understand, as opposed to science.

yeah, @KindledNinja you're probably right about that.

i wouldn't put it so harshly but its hard to disagree

humans are ignorant beings

I had a really good Christian friend in high school. I remember we used to talk abortion a lot and even though we completely disagreed on the issue, we both respected each other's opinions and didn't hate each other for them. She was cool

Also, from experience, it is a way to deal with fucking up with your life and wasting it. Example my father, he needs to believe there's something after to keep going

what's up sexy ladies

Or someone forced into it by parents or relatives. My parents tried to force me to go, but I had none of that.

and sexy lads

and sexy everything in between

Ayyy

Wazzup?

when i was 5 i asked my parents why we didnt go to church and my mom and dad were like "we dont believe in that but if you want to you can" and i distinctly remember sighing and in my 5yo glory just said "good cuz i thought that was stupid"

@vlachara || Христина || There we go

Also, my parents don't allow me to be on discord. Think it rots my brain and fucks me up.

my dad told me i'm gonna be struck by lightning

talking to people fucks you up?

and im like good

honestly big mood

my grandma said i looked like a terrorist once and was gonna get shot and i was like awesome dude

sick aesthetic
