So I thought about this in the shower amd it makes sense to me, like praying and stuff never worked for most people I know, so a direkt link to god gotta be unlikely. That made me conclude that religion is probably fake, no matter if there’s a god or not. Also people speaking to the same god being given a different set of rules sounds stupid, so at least most religions must be fake.

    You mention justice and balance and I agree that balance is definitely required. Justice is a more complex notion, one which generally involves consequences or punishment.

    RAPISTS NEED TO FACE JUSTICE. Instead faith orgs shuffle the rapists around and defend them.

    If we simply started there, the world would be a much better place.

    I think the imaginary friend(s) problem is going to destroy our species if we can’t outgrow it pretty fucking quickly.

      I think I understand your anger.

      It would be a start, you’re right.

      I think that division will destroy us much faster than anything else.

      As long as we’re blaming, hating, raping, murdering, deceiving and competing with each other we will destroy ourselves.

      And maybe that is what’s best for the universe.

      A hateful species that can’t co-operate and recognise its diversities as its strengths should not be able to leave its planet.

      It will become its own Great Filter.

      You are right though, there does need to be consequences and inaction is just as bad as condoning.

      Hating the people that believe in something is no better than the people that are hating each other for believing in different things.

        yeah, I can’t see us passing the future hurdles and it makes me exceptionally depressed. we can’t get coal rollers and vroom vroom types to stop pouring hydrocarbon byproducts into the atmosphere, how are we going to get the entire world to pull back.

        we have one biosphere. once chance. and it’s already so very very very fucked. AMOC collapse, Microplastics in EVERYTHING including all testicles measured - PFAS everywhere - ice sheets collapsing - ocean temps off the charts - mexico, us south, india, pakistan COOKING… it’s all gonna get worse and still the assholes are talking about drilling more and driving their shitmobiles.

        Difference is nobody hates the people that are christians at least incredibly uncommon they hate religion for all the harm its done to families and everyone. Which is why i am antitheist.
