To know better about religion*
Patching it up some more. Stay informed and spread the news of religion's intrinsic failings, so the next generation doesn't repeat the mistakes of today.

Thats 100% true and a great improvement.

It used to be used for good, it is not religion or the idea of it that cause the problem. It is the people, and if these people still exist, they will just create another thing for them to exerts greed and control over the populace.

… the bible literally tells you how to keep and beat your slaves. Also to kill babies.
… Another religion worships a “god” that has an 8 year old child wife.
It’s not evil people manipulating religion. Religion is evil.
TheFriendlyDickhead 4 points 3 years ago
The problem is that what they belive in is hundreds of years old. Back when all of that was written this was perfectly acceptable and in some cases even more humane than what was practiced at that time is. The problem is that the world changed a lot and what they belive in didn't.

Counterpoint: Religion cannot be evil, as it is a human construct and cannot exhibit behavior, evil or otherwise. It's people who use it for evil. The people are the problem.

Is a computer virus not evil?
The original writer might be dead but it doesn’t mean that on its own the virus can’t do harm anymore.
Religion is a virus. The words are of hate and bigotry. As long as a single human is still infested with the “religion virus”, it will be able to spread hate and oppression.

Before that, even. Prehistoric times were infested with it too.

Christianity helped community after the fall of Roman Empire and help the oppressed during Roman time. There is a huge amount of pain and suffering caused by the church, but at least it is not what it was founded for.

Christianity helped control the community after the fall of the Roman Empire and helped oppress people during Roman times.
There, fixed it for you.

Suppose we have a human extinction, and intelligent life develops all over. All religion will be gone or very different, but science will continue to make the same discoveries all over again.

They want the earth to die. It's literally prophesied in their Scriptures, that the sign that their Rapture is imminent include famine, death, war, and conquest. Their explicit goal is to bring about the Second Coming, wherein so many people will be killed, their blood fills up the Armageddon up to the shoulder of a warhorse. The old heaven and old earth, our earth, will very destroyed, so that paradise can come for God's Chosen.

Not exactly? I mean you are correct to name these, but I've not seen them wanting it to come faster.
I mean, some of them call out things they don't like as sings of coming end, and they are pretty angry about it. Vaxxing being a mark of the beast is my favorite. If they were accelerating the come of their end from the scripture, they could've behaved like they are on Woodstock, not in American Gothic. Only doomsday sects who isolate themselves and wait for the end are really into that. Others are too occupied with their lives and earthly posessions, but do use the book when it comes handy, especially for explaining what they are up to, or what happened without their control.

Eastern Germany is already ahead of you

Plot twist: 70% of East Germany is ducks. Not just 70% of the population. 70% of the total above ground mass.

True, but they're not Christians. They're Zoroastrians

- It'd be interesting to see one with data from 2023 given the incredible number of people leaving the church. We are about to gothify Germany. Watch us make the map pitch black 🤘

I wish it was that easy, we should treat religious paraphernalia the same way the Nazis fear and act towards rainbow flags and other signs of peace and love

Heil Eris, and such.

That implies that gods existence is real, we just refuse to worship him
fsxylo 7 points 3 years ago
Some people can't imagine non religious thinking.
Just like they neurotically interject God into every single aspect of their lives they think I'm neurotically rejecting God, when in reality I'd forget about the topic entirely if fire and brimstone hobos weren't trying to skullfuck my country into being fire and brimstone.

“It only takes 1 generation refusing to be indoctrinated into worshipping a nonexistent fairytale that was fabricated to control the uneducated masses for the next generation to know better about religion.”
