Perhaps reading comprehension isn’t your strongest attribute. I am only devout to breathing, not being late to the dinner table & Football Sundays. I believe you are devout in your commitment to misery. I think religion has been used to manipulate and control people throughout history. This was a learned concept and those that acquired the power & skills paved the way for the shit show we are experiencing in real time. I absolutely could not agree any more with that idea. I’m here to tell you that the nice peace loving hippie folks down at the Unitarian church who are NOT religious nutjobs. They use the church as a way to share and serve in the community. They are not same type of persons as the angry self aggrandizing mean spirited people over at the Megachurch spouting maga bullshit in the name JFC. That is the point I am trying to make. Hopefully I have illustrated this idea. Ima just leave this here.
