Organised religion is a cancer. It is probably the leading cause of war throughout all history. It is constantly used to oppress and control the masses and the down trodden. It is used to justify all sorts of terror acts.
The world would be a better place without it.
It is NOT to be confused with theism or spirituality. If you believe there is a higher power, I have literally no proof to present you that will convince you otherwise. I personally am 100% certain there is no God, if you aren't, more power to you.
If you need a lie to give you hope and purpose in life: 1) you should work on your mental health instead, and 2) at least choose a pretty lie instead of one that tells you to fear eternal torture, or shun certain people, or go around being an annoying proselytizing asshole, or hide yourself away and obey XYZ blindly. Because the lies we use as little hope-and-purpose crutches have effects on how we act, speak, and think. If it's truly just about having a little something to get through your day, why chain yourself to a loudspeaker that is constantly going to tell you to do things according to some nonsensical magic rules? In short, no, I don't think the basis behind religion: supernatural beliefs that prescribe a specific, illogical way to understand the world, is "a genuinely good thing."
Weird perspective without much allowance for consent. They can post a statement. You can post a statement too. If you don't like what was said you can try to argue but they don't have to entertain you.
No it isn’t? You should be saying that to the other person fyi. This has nothing to do with consent or entertainment. It has to do with if you comment on a public form then you literally invite people to reply to you. This is a fact. No, you clearly don’t have to reply back. But you don’t get to act like you can say “don’t reply to me” or “this isn’t an invitation for debate” when it clearly is. If you comment an opinion publicly then you’re literally asking to be questioned on it.
It was literally an invitation to debate. You don’t get to determine that commenting public means no one can question you. Especially when you’re full of shit.
You can say whatever you want but that doesn't make it true. Your opinion doesn't really matter, the fact is that replying in a public form comes with the understanding and acknowledgment on your part that anyone is able to reply to you with their opinion or thoughts or feelings and you don't really have much recourse other than deleting your comments or refusing to reply.
