How come straight people can marry but gay people can't? This has the foundations in religion I believe. It's a strong belief that marriage is between a man and a woman since it's in the Bible I guess?
Millenials seem to be a lot more open to all humans being free to be who they want to be, which means humanity is moving further away from traditional religions ideas about good and bad.
Could be good or bad depending on if there is an actual god behind those religions or not.
Spoiler: There isn't.
Must be nice to be certain.
It is.
I realize your comment is a smooth attempt at saying "Only a fool doesn't acknowledge that there is a chance that they're wrong" and sure, there's a chance that I'm wrong, but are you making major life decisions based on the chance that dragons could awaken and attack mankind? Do you worry daily that you might be punished by Bigfoot because you ate the wrong food on Friday? Are unicorns disappointed in you because you masturbate too much?
Who knows, maybe a magical, horned Sasquatch riding a dragon will cleanse the world of all non-believers. After all, there's always a chance, but I'm not going to waste any of my time worrying about it until he shows himself.
