Some of us see how much damage magical thinking has done to humanity and the planet, I guess.
I don't "blame God," because that would be like blaming Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny.
And no I'm not just talking about man made religion, I'm talking about magical thinking.
It's all man made, btw, but I honestly don't feel like having that conversation with you today.
Sorry mate, I just find it important to believe true things.
Considering the death toll religion has wrecked across history I think it's fair to dislike the practice in the modern day. Like, don't get me wrong I really care about the canon of my favourite stories but I'd never launch a crusade over someone elses fan fic of it.
As Carlin said “when it comes to bullshit you have to stand in awe of religion.”
They pay no taxes, diddle kids, murdered millions…and you fucking show up to put MORE money in the collection plate‽ madness
It has a lot to do with religious folks labeling themselves as an oppressed minority while being an overwhelming majority with tremendous power worldwide, especially in political leadership. For Christians, it's an immediate reflex response to what religious folks don't recognize is blasphemy, bringing up religion as the answer to a question nobody asked. I recognize that I just posted an America-default comment.
