“It only takes 1 generation refusing to be indoctrinated into worshipping a nonexistent fairytale that was fabricated to control the uneducated masses for the next generation to know better about religion.”

To know better about religion*
Patching it up some more. Stay informed and spread the news of religion's intrinsic failings, so the next generation doesn't repeat the mistakes of today.
Thats 100% true and a great improvement.
It flows off the tongue a lot better too.
It used to be used for good, it is not religion or the idea of it that cause the problem. It is the people, and if these people still exist, they will just create another thing for them to exerts greed and control over the populace.
… the bible literally tells you how to keep and beat your slaves. Also to kill babies.
… Another religion worships a “god” that has an 8 year old child wife.
It’s not evil people manipulating religion. Religion is evil.
The problem is that what they belive in is hundreds of years old. Back when all of that was written this was perfectly acceptable and in some cases even more humane than what was practiced at that time is. The problem is that the world changed a lot and what they belive in didn't.
Ah yes, the crusades. Such good.
Religion has caused violence since the beginning of known recorded history
Before that, even. Prehistoric times were infested with it too.
It's never been used for good as a primary goal.
Christianity helped community after the fall of Roman Empire and help the oppressed during Roman time. There is a huge amount of pain and suffering caused by the church, but at least it is not what it was founded for.
Christianity helped control the community after the fall of the Roman Empire and helped oppress people during Roman times.
There, fixed it for you.
Yup that's what Father Diddly taught me too.
Thing is, priests are full of shit and just make stuff up.
Suppose we have a human extinction, and intelligent life develops all over. All religion will be gone or very different, but science will continue to make the same discoveries all over again.
That made me have a thought. Why do SOME (not all) Christians refuse the earth is dying or people are dying or preventable causes. Wouldn't helping mitigate this make more people christian?
They want the earth to die. It's literally prophesied in their Scriptures, that the sign that their Rapture is imminent include famine, death, war, and conquest. Their explicit goal is to bring about the Second Coming, wherein so many people will be killed, their blood fills up the Armageddon up to the shoulder of a warhorse. The old heaven and old earth, our earth, will very destroyed, so that paradise can come for God's Chosen.
Not exactly? I mean you are correct to name these, but I've not seen them wanting it to come faster.
I mean, some of them call out things they don't like as sings of coming end, and they are pretty angry about it. Vaxxing being a mark of the beast is my favorite. If they were accelerating the come of their end from the scripture, they could've behaved like they are on Woodstock, not in American Gothic. Only doomsday sects who isolate themselves and wait for the end are really into that. Others are too occupied with their lives and earthly posessions, but do use the book when it comes handy, especially for explaining what they are up to, or what happened without their control.
Bro I lived in the south, they can't fucking wait for the rapture down there.
Of course if I had to live in Tuscaloosa I would also welcome the sweet bosom of the grave.
The claim is true for many. If you get salvation when the end comes, and you hate people who are different from you, sooner is better.
Of course this is absurd but many believe it to some degree.
If you put a gun in their hand, would they end themselves? Or shoot random people they hate? I don't think they are that end-timey and believe in afterlife.
Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.

Eastern Germany is already ahead of you
Plot twist: 70% of East Germany is ducks. Not just 70% of the population. 70% of the total above ground mass.
That's a lie. Everyone knows ducks are very religious.
True, but they're not Christians. They're Zoroastrians
- It'd be interesting to see one with data from 2023 given the incredible number of people leaving the church. We are about to gothify Germany. Watch us make the map pitch black 🤘
I like how it's colored as a dark ominous cloud of doom.
J.R. Bobb Dobbs would be proud.
Praise "Bob"
Praise Bob, indeed!
PERFORM THE SALUTE!
Slack for all.

Shoutouts to "Bob", gotta be one of my favorite shordurpersavs
Find purpose in SLACK, my brothers!
"Salvation or triple your money back!" is a dogma I can get behind.

I wish it was that easy, we should treat religious paraphernalia the same way the Nazis fear and act towards rainbow flags and other signs of peace and love
May the power of slack be with you!
Heil Eris, and such.
Don't threaten me with a good time.
we will all feel euphoric soon
Hey he's not a professional quote maker
That implies that gods existence is real, we just refuse to worship him
Some people can't imagine non religious thinking.
Just like they neurotically interject God into every single aspect of their lives they think I'm neurotically rejecting God, when in reality I'd forget about the topic entirely if fire and brimstone hobos weren't trying to skullfuck my country into being fire and brimstone.
PRAISE BOB
