People always get so defensive when their magic invisible sky kings are questioned.
Fuck all organized religions, every one. Fuck christianity, fuck islam, fuck judiasm, fuck buddhism, fuck hinduism, fuck taoism, fuck african tribal ancestor and totem worship, fuck satanism, and fuck every other one I can't think of off the top of my head.
Humanity doesn't need religion to be kind, just, moral, and strong. The sooner we abandon the moralities and neuroses of people ten thousand plus years dead, the sooner we start getting over our modern day bullshit.
Let me guess. You think all humans are equal, and will behave the same, and without organized religion we'd all be singing kumbaya?
Organized religion is nothing but the codification of existing cultures & laws, at least a few decades removed from the high point.
The problem is that every ideology that becomes dogma, is indistinguishable from religion, outside of some court/administrator deciding this goes in Column A, and this goes in Column B.
Climate hysteria, pedophile culture, free love, are all even worse than 'religion' because they are built on fantasy, leading to dysfunctional society, while religions are codified from what helped build a functional society. Like the US constitution did at one time.
Time has seen the erosion of the ideals of much of those, thanks to the usual human behavior of abusing every system, till only swiss cheese remains. Whether religion, or some country's foundational principles.
Don't be so quick to destroy wantonly, because destroyers are never good creators. If they were, they'd be creating. And I don't mean the shills that beg for subscribe & like.
Like what is a man and woman?
“Tradition is only democracy extended through time. It is trusting to a consensus of common human voices rather than to some isolated or arbitrary record... Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to the small and arrogant oligarchy of those who merely happen to be walking about. All democrats object to men being disqualified by the accident of birth; tradition objects to their being disqualified by the accident of death." -- GK Chesterton
Your fucking type is real quick on the projection trigger, huh? Like I said, defensive.
Religion is not a codification of laws. Religion is a proscription on behaviors and ideas. A codex of laws if a codification of laws, and culture is the codification of traditions. Religion is, and always has been, a tool for the powerful to control through threats of violence and damnation, as well as promises of salvation and rewards after you die "trust me bro".
You have put religion on a pedestal the size of Mt. Olympus on Mars if you think that religion represents morals and ideals.
Pardon my french, but fuck off, faggot. Adult human male, Adult human female. Biology, and the study thereof, is a scientific field, not some garbage written by a stone-age shaman two thousand years ago trying to explain why one rock is hard and another rock is purple.

Stop cutting your dick bruh. Its the only working head you have.
This simple minded rhetoric is how we got: troons, feminism, gender theory, LGBTQ*++*, communism, basically everything wrong with modern society is because of atheism and the lack of morality and hedonism that inherently follows.
Religiosity, or lack thereof, has absolutely no bearing on a propensity towards hedonism.
Research a little deeper into the annals of history, look at what were considered legitimate religious practices back in the day. For every communist, there was an inquisition. For every troon, there was a priest sacrificing children to appease their god. For every feminist, there was a cult taking women for "comfort". For every mind-rotted luhgehbetehqueh-er, there was a mind-rotted fundamentalist.
Religion is not morality. Religion is religion, and it insists on being morality through threats of violence and torture for disobedience.
This is quite easily the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen. You can see a direct correlation between hedonism and the loss of religious faith in EVERY western society, especially from German Desconstructionism and the advent of non-secularism.
Here comes the conflation between religion and empire!
Oh boy, it’s like atheists are a one note band! Your dear “inquisitions” were often based on ethnic and territorial disputes for example the Moors in Spain lead to the Spanish Inquisition as a means to deter the subjugation of Spaniards and establish a more powerful empire as a result. The entire conflation of every religion with pagan hedonism is also quite hilarious as once again you are making the case that the advancement of religion is somehow separate from the advancement of society.
Make the atheistic morality case for not killing other humans. Western civilization and the current advancement of the entire human history was dependent on the morality laid out in the Bible.
Have you met people?
I'd love it if you were correct, but I don't think you are. Some people can get by without religion, but there are plenty who do need it.
Also, even the people who are functional without God often end up still being the most religious in belief structure; they just find something more secular to worship, like the State, Climate, "Equality," LGBTQWTFBBQ2S+, what have you. Humans seem to be, for better or worse, worshippers. They need something greater than themselves to believe in, whether that be spiritual/religious, or worldly.
In a left vs right context, look where most of the atheists are. Which would you say have a better moral framework, the more religious right, or the more atheist left?
The a-religious center.
"Atheism" is as much a cult as any of the big name organized cults that insist on being called "religions", since they think that sounds more respectable, and they all have twisted morals as dictated by their priest class.
I'm old enough to see what shenanigans were had when the religious right had cultural power, decades ago. You think this shit is unique to the retard left? This is the same goddamned nonsense, just with a different skin. We have drag queen pedophiles instead of cardinal pedophiles, things being censored for not being "inclusive" instead of for being "blasphemous", "racism" is the big problem and root cause of evil instead of "satan", etc etc.
I refuse to believe we cannot beat the demon of religiosity that burrows deep in the heart of the species. People are "worshippers" because the culture is steeped in worship. Worship of goods, worships of gods, worship of institutions, worship of babies, worship of the self, etc. If we can excise the worship from our cultures bit by bit, we'll excise the religiosity from mankind the same way.
We don't need to be the slack-jawed morons staring at a thunderstorm and going "THIS IS THE WILL OF THE GODS".
Centrism is a religion too, though.
On that we agree.
Cardinal pedophiles were never accepted by the people, and acceptance for them was never openly pushed. They exist due to simple corruption, not religion or anything else. The exact same thing occurs in other groups, regardless of religion or lack thereof. Some people get power, and then stick up for each other no matter the faults.
And true communism has never been tried. Once we perfect the system, the people will be perfect too. Doesn't work like that.
Because that happens. That's totally how religious people act. Cringe.
So trash thousands of years of art, history, and philosophy because you have a stupid opinion of their originators.
Look at what we have replaced religion with, what we have developed after deluding ourselves that "man is the measure of all things"--communism, the font, and its effluents feminism, transgenderism, and the entire edifice of quack academic woolgathering that is turning the West into some sort of sci fi dystopia.
Thousands of years of garbage is not made good and useful simply by dint of being old.
I don't understand why this needs to be explained to people. The fucking mountains are tens of millions of years older then your oldest church dogmas, and for some reason none of you window lickers need to be told not to worship THOSE.
What foul hubris is it that drives your ilk to declare something to be inherently valuable just because some people with the most distant and tenuous connection to you came up with it a few thousand years ago? Do you know how long doctors spent alternating between working on corpses and delivering newborns, often without washing their hands? Centuries. Goddamned centuries. And we threw that out and made them wear gloves, because it turned out it was thousand-year-old garbage just the same.
Age is not an indicator of value. Age is an indicator of age.
Human beings appear to need some sort of explanatory principle for existence and the suffering that goes along with it. What has rationalism offered but emptiness and philosophies like existentialism or the emotional and ethical desert of materialism? You atheists keep looking backwards, usually citing the easiest target, the atrocities of the Catholic Church.
But the Church also made possible a rich and rewarding vein of art. So did Islam in its heyday. Buddhism, ditto. The arrogance of calling the cultural products of the major religions "garbage" says a lot about the atheist outlook.
Rationalism has given us heroes like Semmelweis and the miraculous edifice of technology that has improved earthly existence, but it has also failed to grapple with the amoral stupidity and hubris that led us to the glories of cobalt bombs and Sarin. The evil that produces religious barbarisms also corrupts the rationalist, but rational evil is the product of an absence of morality rather than corrupted morality turned against itself as with religious hypocrisy.
Your comment is typical of atheists, who are as dogmatic as any Imam.
Humanity doesn't need a sky king, to be meat, to rape, to steal, and to burn, loot, and murder.
Just so. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️✊🏾
And yet everyone is super obsessed with finding the right five-thousand-year-old text written by near-illiterates that dictates exactly how and whom an invisible, almighty sky king would like its followers to rape, murder, rob, and enslave.
Weird, that. Almost like its a human institution that tries to justify its existence by appealing to an invisible, omnipresent, omnipotent authority that just so happens to agree with what the priest and holy book say everyone has to do, and for which the evidence is "just trust me bro, there was a talking bush two thousand years ago and nothing since cameras were invented lol".
Science!
