religion-is-a-mental-illness:smazeny-syr:religion-is-a-mental-illness:While explaining nothing at all.Religion is fundamental to the human experienceYou reject conventional religions then u start filling that spiritual void with whateverSodomy, consumerism, cowardiceMany such cases! All you’ve really done is reveal more about yourself and your morality than you intended.Firstly, that you’re astonishingly ignorant about human morality, and that it precedes and overrides religious edicts. I don’t even know you, and yet I know that you do not obey your religious scripture. Because you’re not in jail for stoning people to death or buying and selling slaves. You say things like “it’s a metaphor” or “no longer applies” because you’re judging primitive tribal barbarism with evolved secular morality.Secondly, that you don’t value humanity. That the “human experience” must be defined in terms of, and bounded by, false stories and lies to elicit false guilt and celestial terror as a form of control. It’s a statement in opposition of human nature, and denies millions of years of evolution into the social species we have become. Immoral species do not survive. Your primitive superstitions have been around only a few hundred years, and originated from a small regional area. It’s notable that you didn’t even try to assert that any of them are even true. Not valuing truth is not valuing humans or human experience.Thirdly, it’s super-ironic of you to blather about “consumerism” on a luxury internet service through a luxury device connected to a luxury service from the comfort of your home, surrounded by all the things you bought online. If you believed what you were saying, you wouldn’t even be here. Liar or hypocrite: choose one. Spending the important minutes of your day blogging cat videos and dog photos is the height of first world consumer privilege.Fourthly, that religion has made you an asshole, so to speak. “Sodomy” is anal intercourse between two consenting adults. If you don’t want to do it, then don’t. But it’s none of your damn business. And yes, heterosexual couples do it too. In both configurations. What you’ve really said is that your religion has made you a hateful bigot. And that’s really not good for “human experience” to have more of those.Matthew 7:1Judge not, that ye be not judged.Funny thing about Sodom - the “most righteous” man in Sodom was Lot, a man who offered up his daughters to be raped instead of two guest angels (literal angels, who were therefore immortal with divine powers), whose wife was arbitrarily executed by the Lord, and whose daughters later got him drunk and raped him. To get pregnant. Which they did. Resulting in two boys who were each other’s brother and cousin and uncle, from the same father/grandpa.This is the person the Lord liked best of all.Genesis 19:8Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.Such a god is not one worthy of much consideration, let alone its opinions on what two non-incesty, non-rapey people do in the privacy of their own bedroom.Yes, many such cases. You’ve provided so many fine examples of how poisonous religious thought is. This is more than sufficient documentation to demonstrate that religion should die.It’s so wonderful that it’s on the decline. People have figured out the scam, and they’ve figured out that humans are better than gods and religious nonsense that makes them hate each other and themselves. -- source link
