There are no gods that exist in reality.
The global surge in the dislike for the religion actively genociding children is caused by the religion actively genociding children.
Which religion? I don't care, there's a half dozen religions intent on murdering every single one of their religious enemies. They all do this shit.
People make up shit every single day without proof of anything. Then go about telling people as if they had absolute 100% proof/evidence in some way. They know it's a lie, they don't care.
That's pretty much religion in a nutshell.
DO NOT EVER "take someone's word for it". Demand proof. Use critical thinking skills like not being a dumbass, or paying attention.
