I’m not entirely unconvinced that religion wasn’t just some prank some guy thousands of years ago cooked up that just completely and utterly spiraled from them lmfao

Religion is obviously a mix of history with lame answers parents came up with because their annoying kids wouldn’t stop asking questions and the stupid kids believed them.

You should read up on the history of the Illuminati. It’s pretty much that haha

I’m sure plenty of ideas died in the meantime. But yeah, fuck religion.
