No no, Ben, god chose you, he'll just gently blow any bullets out of the way, right? Because god exists? And prayer works? He created the universe and shit?
I want to punch this weasel-faced rat just on principle, but especially because of his overt religiosity, and therefore dangerous insanity.
Why isn't religion a mental illness?
Because the inmates are running the asylum.
Most of these generic American Christians are taught it was gods will. That is.... ANYTHING is gods will. I used to find that so interesting as I was raised in all that abuse. No matter WHAT happens, it's always god that intended it or wanted it. There was some "purpose" or reason.
How convenient.
My parents also loved to lean into how they only had to answer to god. Also convenient.
No mom and dad, you answer to me. Your children are the only ones qualified to determine whether you were a good parent.
"God never gives anyone more than they can handle."
... "Because that's when he takes you."
I hate his dumb face, and his stupid nasally voice. I hate when he wears a little yarmulke and he has a slight look of smug satisfaction like "that's right I'm Jewish, you can't say shit"
What we need is some sort of new world order.
There are some countries that ban religion. You can tell which ones they are because they're the ones that shine with the best of humanity.
I can only think of USSR and DPRK. maybe Maoist China, but China (at least now) allows religion (though it prohibits Tibetan Buddhism and iirc Islam.)
I definitely wouldn't consider DPRK to "shine with the best of humanity." good luck to you if you decide to move there; don't pull an Otto Warmbier!
Yah which on or is this just some more internet bullshit.
You can't ban religion, it seems to be a "feature" of the human species. We can keep it well contained though.
Can you name some? That would be a quality I would like to prioritize when picking a place to move to.
USSR is the only one I heard of doing that.
Those countries are heavily orthodox now. So I guess that didn’t work
