Lol gotta live the hypocrisy in being such a staunch atheist that you think you know objective truth but religious people don’t. Like secular beliefs aren’t narrative as well and like we can actually perceive objective reality through our limited subjected senses. Also, Jewish is not always religion. It’s also ethnicity. There are secular Jews. You claim religions are toxic, but your anti-religiousness seems to make you quite angry and toxic.

I don’t hate Jews specifically, but fuck every single religious person. I am done with it. How many time do we need to see genocides or wars or just bombings that are solely motivated through religious indoctrination? You may say that they are misinterpreting the words of the Lord or whatever horseshit, but as far as I am concerned every interpretation is exactly as valid as the next because it is all make believe nonsense.
Everyone is playing pretend and then get upset when some people use that to steer the “play” into FUCKING MURDER!
MAYBE STOP PLAYING PRETEND EVERY FUCKING DAY YOU FUCKING MORONS!
If anyone says that their worldview is shaped by their religious beliefs, it is my view that they are a danger to the public should they hold public office.
Every. Single. Time. I don’t care what those beliefs are or what your motivations are. Religions are fucking toxic in every iteration.

If you can look around at the results of allowing religions to dominate society for thousands of years and tell me that you think it’s going well, or even that we have a good chance of surviving the century as a species, then I don’t think you are a fully functioning human being.
I don’t know what the objective truth of the world is. But what I do know, is that that truth has never been ordained to earthly man by a burning fucking bush or whatever the fuck your particular religion dictates.
Arguing over interpretations of the hallucinations had by uneducated people thousands of years ago is not just pointless, it promotes a level of ignorance worship that is highly corrosive to a functioning society.

All forms of centralized hierarchical power are bad: capitalism, nation-state, and organized religion. Nothing wrong with decentralized, liberating spiritual beliefs.
HasturInYellow@lemmy.world 4 days ago
But those do not include organized religions that have holy books written about ancient hallucinations.
Spiritualism is fine (generally) but it can still lead to delusional thinking. As in, verifiably false conclusions.

Could you at least pay your damn taxes? Every religion. Why are WE forced to pay for YOU.

Tf you talking about? I pay taxes. I’m not a part of any church. I’m a Muslim who is anti-hierarchical organized religion.

My use of “your” was in response to “religions”, the topic of your last sentence.
The pronoun always refers to the last subject… which wasn’t you personally.
Also, please note that Muslim mosques don’t pay taxes, just like Catholic churches and Scientology and every other brand of religion; many more breaks than any non-profit.
It’s a religion, you see, so that’s what the fuck I am talking about. Your mosque should pay property taxes et al just like everybody else.

This kid gets it.
Abrahamic religions are truly nightmarish, what a world
