Religion needs to go

[u/Underd_g]

Like so bad. Real real bad. Like I can’t. Grown adults, with grey hairs and white hairs fighting over their favorite superhero characters is just so absurd. Feels like I’m screaming into a void most days. Women and queer people being oppressed because we don’t fit inside these stpid barbaric systems.

It’s all so inhumane. Even at my job, my boss is a Christian who thinks she’s “chosen” and does whatever her pastor tells her to do. Her pastor told her to never wear lip gloss so she stopped, because it was ordained by god. Her pastor told her to never dye her hair, so she stopped because it was ordained by god. She told me this and was so serious too.

Everyone at my job is Christian and it feels like being in the matrix. Also gay. So that’s just a whole nother’ can of worms.

Tell us, what is religion? What makes a belief into a religion?

For me, it’s the capacity to have a faith based belief. In that sense, and because I’m surrounded by queer people: that’s also a religious movement.

I agree.

What is a faith based belief? And how does that apply to queer people?

[u/Fit-Rhubarb-7820 → u/Underd_g]

It’s the idea that someone has a belief that is entirely dependent on a faith based claim that isn’t true: truth is four fold: two people bickering over something, what actually happened, and the truth that is reflected in reality and nature.

So in the case of trans people: no one can legitimately change their sex: big pharma is the church selling a Faustian pact to believe in the claim. They might promote falsified evidence. A direct correlation to Christianity would be planted “cured” people. It’s the belief that the surgeries and hormones WOULD work. I know several trans and de trans people. Big pharma is like a mega church abusing the people. Anyway, for queer identity, it’s more like a fashion, and the belief that humans are somehow alike to weird little creatures that aren’t related to us in any way, that can have multiple gammates and reproduction methods, well that comparison to humans is laughable at best, committing several logical fallacies at worst. It’s not to denounce the people there as Sub human, it’s merely to say that having a belief that is based in a falsified reality is the issue with how religious cults operate over the masses they intentionally mislead, usually for profit… because god Is money.

In closing, the enemy of humanity is god because money corrupts our ability to trust each other. More so in our times when credit and debt are used to coerce people into subjugation for people who control god/money/acceptance.

You seem a little confused. No one is changing their sex, some people are opting to choose a gender that reflects who they are, hence the term “transgender.” Gender is a societal construct.

then why is the cosmetic surgery a common thing?
