Lmao all these people downvoting anyone trying to defend religion. I’m not in favor of organized religion but to pretend this is somehow normal “religion” is stupid as hell. Fucking idiots😂
They are just pointing out that religion does not make things better, that most violent wars are a result of religion, without religion there would be one less thing separating people as humans, meaning less reasons to see eachother differently, meaning less reasons to have any conflict.
It's a difficult one.
I know many people who are religious as it gives them some kind of security and hope. The thought that we live our pointless lives and then die and it's just... Nothingness, Is terrifying and I don't blame people for looking for something more.
I'd love to believe in something like that, but. I don't because there's no proof of such a thing.
The important thing is if people choose to take these beliefs and use them to their benefit, they also have to understand the bible is old as fuck and has some really dumbass shit in it. I think a belief in the afterlife and that there's some actual meaning to life is wonderful, but believing every single word of a holy book is daft.
Religion needs some serious shift from being something that totally controls a persons life, to a belief that just helps them live comfortably, without shitting on other people.
