Death cult makes up another excuse for their god not existing.

"We know it's fiction, but we hate you for not believing our bullshit!"

Fuck religion, and the religious. Even you 'good' religious assholes. Fuck you specifically for supporting evil religions.

Without religion, we'd be talking about Epstein right now. REligions come along with the complete lies and just fuck everything up. Every fucking time.

Pretty sure bad people don't need religion to still do bad things and lie. I'm pretty certain murder and other such horrors existed before religion did.

Which is to say, y'all would be still talking about Charlie Kirk, tariffs, etc still instead of Epstein.

A large portion of American Christians I've talked to reject Trump being a Christian. They just preferred him over Kamala. They'd rather someone pretending to be Christian than flat out reject Jesus openly.

"I'd rather the anti-chtist lying that they are the Christian than an honest person saying they aren't a Christian."

She told Christians not to vote for her.

72% of Americans have some form of religious belief.

If religious people fuck everything up you are literally surrounded by them.

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

"Some form" is pretty broad. They may not actually mean all religions, either.

But I don't think that raging against the majority is uncalled for.

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca -2 points 5 days ago (2 children)

There's a difference between raging against the majority, and saying things like "all 72% of the population do is fuck everything up". It's a wonder anything is standing if that was the case.

[–] VinesNFluff@pawb.social 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I mean

It kind of is a wonder anything is standing.

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 days ago

Indeed. Feels like there must be a flawed premise involved...

saying things like "all 72% of the population do is fuck everything up"

That's not really what they said, though. Most of that 72% does non-religious stuff most of the time. Imagine how much better things could be if we were less fucked up!

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 days ago

Fuck religion, and the religious. Even you 'good' religious assholes

Sure sounds like they don't care if they do "non-religious stuff most of the time"

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Ok.......then we're surrounded by people who fuck up the planet.

Hey, you DO see that humans, and only humans, have fucked this planet up pretty badly, right?

Like we're already past the point of no return for climate change. We can't unfuck the planet.

So why is it hard to believe that the majority of people are huge fuck-ups in life? Including you.

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 0 points 5 days ago

Hey, you DO see that humans, and only humans, have fucked this planet up pretty badly, right?

I never claimed otherwise?

And how helpful is it to scream "fuck humans, all they do is fuck everything up, even the so called good humans fuck you for supporting the humans fucking things up!"

There, have I fixed climate change now?

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk -5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Without religion we'd be raping children and bashing babies against rocks, and possibly genocided each other several times over.

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

If the only reason you're not doing those things is out of fear of eternal punishment then you're not a good person.

Define "anyone".

My statement was clear, and instead of addressing it you are trying to change the subject to arguing about definitions. I'm not biting.

He's not even a Christian
