Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I'm sorry you feel that way, but violence would still keep on happening even if there were no more religions, it's human nature. Religion does more good than harm (brings communities together, passing down of traditions/knowledge, charity, etc..).

but violence would still keep

If cancer were cured tomorrow people would still eventually die, but I would rather live in a world without cancer than with.

Religion does more good than harm

By what metric?

brings communities together

Yeah in mutual hatred for outsiders and minorities and heretics.

, passing down of traditions/knowledge

It is called paper.

charity, etc…).

Government does more and does it better.

Not able to deal with the argument you made it about me. The last refuge of the theist.

[–] guckfoogle@sh.itjust.works -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

an argument can only be made between two competent parties, and you clearly are a child.

How was group pretend time today? Which one of us spends time each week with other adults talking about their imaginary friend?

Just please don't shoot up a church or mosque, and try to meet and get to know people who have different backgrounds/cultures than you.

Try not to hand over your kid to a priest to get raped and voting for theology, and try finding some evidence for your belief in skydaddy

I'm orthodox, our priests can get married and have wives so their not pedophiles. I'm really worried you might actually shoot up a church now 😅
