This is absolutely amazing. I said absolutely nothing at all about religious beliefs, but here we are…
This is exactly why I don’t follow religion at all, I prefer science.
Like what the hell, more wars are fought in the name of [insert diety name] than any other cause.
The following of a diety seems to cause more violence than anything else I’ve ever seen in my life, so I choose to not follow an imaginary diety in the sky.
I prefer to just exist and be a constructive, helpful person when I’m needed. Fuckall with all the wars over ‘holy land’ and all that violent jazz…
I never meant for this post to lead to arguments, but here you folks start it anyways.
Shame ☹️

I also prefer science and reason to faith and religion. With that said, I take full responsibility for driving this particular thread of the discussion in this direction.
I hope our discussion has been cordial, and hasn’t muddied the overall post. I didn’t mean to drag you or anyone else into this, and I’m sorry if this discussion caused any harm or triggered any negativity. I’ve experienced religious trauma in the past and I know how debilitating it can be.

Nah, you’re cool. Honestly, I kinda expected such discussion to come up somewhere along the way, I just didn’t expect it to come up so soon. It’s all good though.
If anything I figured such discussion needed to come up anyways, just not by my words.
Stay safe, stay warm, and bring happiness to the world. No reason to argue (though I’m not exactly innocent myself), but let’s try to have a good new year, new decade, and beyond…
