Comment on Sometimes I wonder if the subtext of religion is; if you join one youre telling on yourself that you can easily be manipulated.

To me you have it completely backwards. The fear comes from the unwillingness to accept the possibility of non-existence and ultimately the pointlessness of one’s life that pins oneself into needing to believe in an afterlife. Its not that I believe there’s nothing after, it’s that I dont give a fuck either way

It’s good that you don’t give a fuck but not everyone is able to be that way. So if you give fucks and a religion makes you feel better, why not?

  I don’t care enough to argue the point anymore so I’ll just leave it at, if anyone believes in an afterlife, I encourage them to get there as soon as they can.

    Sounds like more like an emotional response than not caring to me.
