I grew up in a religious household. My parents made me go to church and youth group until about 16-17 when I pushed back (still had to go to church but not youth group).

I was always more skeptical of it all. Even as a kid I remember having these "wtf, that doesn't make sense. So dinosaurs were..on the ark?"

Anyway, after a couple decades of separation from it all you realize how absolutely bonkers religion is. The amount of mental backflips you need to make for it to make even a little sense is borderline insanity.

It's crazy how otherwise very intelligent people just...go with it and never challenge it. Then will fight with you if you challenge it.

Dinosaurs would have been extinct for millions of years, even in the time of Noah. It makes sense that he wouldn't put them on the Ark.

you've not had the dubious distinction of talking to a Young Earth Creationist, have you?

They think dinosaur bones are planted by satan specifically to tempt and cause doubt. They also think the earth is merely a few thousand years old.

Oh I have lol

It's funny that evolution would help solve some ark mysteries.

Like how did Noah fit one of every animal on the ark?

Well there weren't that many different types of animals when Noah existed and the ones he saved evolved to get all the animals we know today.

Yeah, there's lots of people thinking 🤔 we'll ok something's are just alliterate proverbs. But no! Literally they guy writing the bible part you read is supposed to be saying what you understand...two dynos of the same species were dunked in the boat. Either that, or only the species mentioned exist, which is not true unless they evolved rapidly..a rhino fucked a giraffe so we got the regular unicorn 🦄?

But that's just the bible religions. Okay so if you had to cut all the bullshit, then you could just narrow it down to one commandment "love each other". Or maybe, how about we don't gotta go to a place since the flying guy is everywhere. You can just talk to your flying guy!

They already don't ask the flying guy for rain. What's a stretch of not kneeling and standing and kneeling and standing once again like total retards? Okay and doing the rituals every single time the same? And the music. A god would be tired of that shit by the first week.

Yeah, they are nuts.
