    nah, religion seems like a scam that usually results in unhinged beliefs and abuse.

    Not a fan generally speaking.

    if you dig into any religions beliefs, it goes into some wild fairy tail stuff that just…doesnt happen.

    Not to mention that folks tend to base their morals on religion, and religions have very flawed morals.

    the difference between god and myself is that if I could, I would prevent a child from getting bone cancer.

      Religion did have good morals in theory. Not in practice.

      Also, unrelated to your points, religion didn’t evolve. It stayed about the same for thousands of years, despite new science.

        i didnt say religion only had bad morals. broken clocks and such.

        but christianity in specific has a lot of flawed morals that christians handwave. like Mary being 12 when she gave birth to Jesus, or pretty much everything old testament.

        claims of a perfect and just omnipotent god while stuff like that flies is sloppy.
