I’m anti-anything religion.
Congratulations, would you like a cookie?
That’s definitely not something to be proud of…
Sure it is. The only real function of religion is to control people that are afraid of death. Religion has caused numerous misguided wars. If it didn’t cause the wars directly, it was used by leaders to send people to their deaths willingly… In the name of a god…
Religion dictates how people should live, eat, spend their free time and how to spend their money. It also can dictate their sex life and what is the proper way to get off. For some reason, it also can promote genital mutilation.
Religion is one of the primary causes of the feelings of male superiority and also female slavery. It is used to control people for political and financial gain. Mostly financial gain.
Churches around the world hold billions of dollars, but yet, they demand that their followers take care of the poor so the church money can stay in the stock markets.
If there is a god, it is pure evil. Stephen Fry summarizes it best: https://youtu.be/-suvkwNYSQo?si=1TuSA6f7O7WA8i3p
These ancient story books can all burn, for all I care.
I wonder if that’s simply a view reinforced by hatred
Yes, religion is often simply reinforced by hatred.
That is a view supported by reality. That view is not supported by hate. The hatred was born from my disgust of religions and it’s impact on the world.
Have you ever stood back and tried to comprehend the insanity of the worlds religions? Have you not heard people shouting “allahu akbar!” before they bomb innocent people? Have to seen the megachurches or the “god hates fags” signs? What about the untold wealth stored in the Vatican or the billions held by the mormon church?
The people that are truly just seeking spiritual health and try to live by their religious rules are the real victims of this mess. Sheep don’t cause any problems and just do what they are told.
Do people really believe that an omnipotent being runs on prayer power or human sacrifice? Whatever.
To answer your question “Have you ever stood back and tried to comprehend the insanity of the world’s religions” I want you to know that yes, yes I most certainly have; I believed the exact same things you believed for 6 long and dreadful years. Since it seems spewing hate is the only thing you came here for I’m going to respectfully leave you and your ideas alone as intermingling with your issues is not my intent.
I am calling it like it is. You can see the world for what it is or you can chose to ignore it.
I am not a hateful person by nature, believe it or not. Actually, I am quite happy! My hatred is focused completely at religion and it’s sickening impact on this world. My hatred is also focused on the people that use religion for power and then use that power to strip freedoms by creating laws against others who don’t share their “beliefs”.
However, if you really want to understand what it is like to discover a healthy form of “spirituality” and develop a deep love and understanding for what this world is really about, I suggest some good healthy doses of psilocybin. It has a really good habit of cutting through a ton of bullshit that we have been fed since we were born.
Congratulations, you just summarized Gnosticism and you have religious beliefs.
The thing is, everyone have one, you could be worshiping money, yourself, a person, science, a political party or whatever.
Just stop believing that you are superior because others know what god they serve and you don’t.
TempleOS’s implementation is cooler though
Press F6 for God Song.
I just can’t help but imagine a world where every religion has its own OS. The Hindu one would get real wild with it.
Huh? Baruch HaShem
