I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish by using such a wide brush to paint such an inaccurate, broad picture. This really isn't much better than saying "democrats are communists".

Yes. Politically militant people are becoming more common. This time last month people seemed to have been much more agreeable even if they didn't agree with you.
You can't regulate automation to stop it. You need to learn to adapt just like everyone else who has been automated out of a job.
Where did I say religion works for everyone? I gave it as one example of something that worked for me and clearly works for billions of others.
I've had awful experiences with the mental health system, but I think getting triggered by someone saying therapy worked for them makes sense. Sorry to hear you suffered.
Why only sexual abuse? This is a problem for survivors of child abuse in general. By the time we realize we have legal recourse it's usually too late. You get like 2-5 years after the incident depending on your state.
My abusers will never face justice simply because I was too young and poor to file charges. I would like to see these extensions given to all child abuse victims, not just sexual.
Good. I'm a conservative Wisconsinite myself, but the state senate acts like they're royalty, continually ignoring they will of the people and saying that's what we actually want.
See: Marijuana reform. We have millions, possibly billions in taxes going to other states and state republicans claim the people aren't ready for it, even though something like 70%+ of the states population is in favor of legalization.
Meanwhile we have almost all of the top 50 counties in the US for alcoholism. But ignore that, weed crime is the real issue apparently.
We need the state congress to accurately represent the people, not this corrupt bs we have now.
Yes. Many religious people including myself feel happy. That's one method.
Others find a purpose in their life to drive toward or dedicate themselves to. Be it art, friends, family, work, learning etc.
I would suggest looking at what you want from life, and asking yourself what the first step is to achieving that. I find that I'm at my happiest when I'm keeping on track with my goals.
Are people really surprised by this? Trump was indicted for January 6th just before an election year. I don't condone violence, but it is prone to happen a lot between now and November 2024. Depending on the outcome, there'll probably be a lot of violence immediately after November 2024 as well...
Goodness help us.
Certain aspects of religious teachings are near universal, such as an all knowing creator that exists in all places and times. The philosophy behind these ideas is more complex than most people would be willing to invest in, so people used allegory to help illustrate both the concepts and ways to practice them.
That means even though two groups of people believe in essentially the same thing, they learned about it in very different ways, and feel strongly that the way they learned is the correct way.
Religion is just philosophy at the end of the day. People like to try to understand existence, and science isn't always able to explain what we want to know. It's human nature to want to understand, even when we can't know for sure.
Most people believe in God, so you're arguing most people are being swindled, implying they are not intelligent enough to come to their own conclusions on the existence of a higher power. That is a very pessimistic view of reality I think, especially when people such as Galileo, Darwin, and Newton were very religious themselves.
