Jesus christ I thought r/atheism was bad. Anything religion related gets you ppl foaming at the mouth
Oh well.
Look, I have no problem with people worshiping God or Allah or the Flying Spaghetti Monster. This world is hard enough, if that helps them navigate it, GREAT.
Where I do have a problem is the hypocrisy. Christians beat us over the head with their bible, claiming they're the ones being oppressed, then they vote for a guy that's been divorced three times and cheated on his pregnant wife with a prostitute. The bible says we should help the needy, but these "Christians" support cutting programs that do just that. They worship the prosperity gospel, which is the opposite of what the bible actually says. The bible says, "Love thy neighbor" but many Christians seem to have added, "...unless he's gay, Muslim, or not white." I'm a cyclist, and I firmly believe that some drivers would happily run me off the road on their way to Sunday mass.
They go to church every Sunday and proclaim themselves "good Christians", but then treat everyone else like shit the other 6 days and 23 hours. If my Catholic education was correct, God cares more about your behavior during that time you're NOT in church. Maybe they'll get theirs in hell, but they're making life shit here on earth for everyone else.
I know, it's not all Christians. Unfortunately the 90% that are doing these things are ruining the reputation of the rest.
It's almost like countless people have directly been harmed by religion
Imagine how many wars we could have prevented if there was no religion
Religion was inevitable. There's no way to look at volcanic lightning or the aurora borealis and not rationalize a higher being. There's no way to come to peace with life being meaningless without exhausting all other options first. Moving on takes patience and education, not additional hatred.
Spirituality and belief were inevitable; religion was not.
