I don’t think religion is inherently bad but the way some people use it as an excuse to not push for progress are tainting its image

I think it is inherently brainwashing. How do you think the people who don’t read your book look at you? Oh sure yea, dude in the sky watching your every move, stay pious

From what I see, people originally came up with the idea of a god/multiple gods as a harmless idea to explain phenomena (like the sun, morals, etc). But then, predatory/selfish people exploited their beliefs by creating religion to control them.

So, religion institutions are bad, but beliefs tied to the religion aren't always bad and can even enrich one's life.

Bro, what image? All the good people from it are long gone. We just have an awful game of telephone with old men as the ear piece. I don’t know what part of Texas whitewashed your history books.

Exactly how I feel. I don’t like to associate with the church (for the most part) but I can also appreciate following the rule of treating others the way you want to be treated

All people do is eat the pizza, they don’t questions the Dough Cheese Sauce. You can try and make the best recipe in the world but your are still forcing people to eat pizza when we can make any dish

uhhh nobody is forcing anyone to eat pizza, just don’t go in the pizza shop lol. yes there are advertisements for pizza all over the place but nobody is being force fed pizza! if you don’t like it, don’t eat it but you can’t just expect pizza shops to stop advertising to accommodate to the fact that YOU don’t like pizza. others do and will.

also dough cheese sauce? bro what 😭. the whole point of church is to ask questions and get them answered. that’s what i do, i ask. religion without question is a cult. you’re referencing cults, not genuine real raw christianity. again, you just visited the wrong pizza shop, try a different one before you deem all pizza shops crappy.
