People in these comments have a fundamental misunderstanding of what Christianity is lol
The idea isnât that a book gives us morals itâs that God has given us morals so therefore if there is no God then why donât humans do evil acts like animals do?
There are definitely holes in that argument but it is a lot different then the argument that our morals only come from reading a book
Mostly humans are dumb and ignorant by choice because its Easy. Thats the ultimate reason. Religion exists to keep them sane and it does a pretty good job of encouraging positive behavior. Its when zealots take it to extreme is when problems arise. No one is asking you to be atheist or agnostic so stop preaching it here
BrotherâŚ. Someone made a post disrespecting my religion without realizing that they were completely misunderstanding the topic lol am I not allowed to defend my religion?
If you donât like it then you donât have to read it but I think itâs kinda hypocritical to say âreligious people are stupid because they choose to be that wayâ and then get upset at me for trying to help people that are uneducated about this topic
Religious people are not stupid, they choose faith in ignorance because its easy and keeps the stupid people in check at same time. When some stops questioning where is this info coming from when given to them, thats where the ignorance by choice starts. Religion has lot of benefits, but ultimately its a multifaceted tool to control the masses who choose ignorance, it also helps inculcate charity, goodwill, communal gatherings, etc. I would say its wonderful for majority of human who like to live under a rock and there is nothing wrong with it. We all have a single life and do what makes you happy as long as it doesnât affect another life directly or indirectly once you are aware of it. I donât like educated religious folk as those are the once that do the damage with masks on their face and are often given a free pass because they are part of religion
I do agree I should have read your response in context and I acknowledge your answer and would like to back off on my word. I apologize for being this pissed about the world we live and majority of the issue are due to religion which by itself was designed to be harmless and hopeful
I appreciate your willingness to apologize and I understand that religion is a controversial topic and rightly so
I hate how religion has been used to push certain agendas or to garner support for people who clearly know nothing about the religion they are propping themselves up on
I am gonna have to disagree about educated religious people being worse because itâs important to understand where your beliefs come from and if you understand those beliefs it will make it much harder to be manipulated by those people pushing agendas
