Mate, I have to stop you right there because you seem to be applying logic to religion. It doesn’t work. And yes, being religious requires you to allow so much mental gymnastics that it’s simply incomprehensible, that’s why we are not.

Their whole „system of beliefs” is riddled with inconsistencies and paradoxes that are so easy to think of that Im still surprised these people can sleep at night. Literal 6 year old level santa clause bullshit that they simply allow to be the „reasoning” for their lives. Except they don’t because every christian strays from their gods instructions in one way or another simply cherry-picking things they want to follow and believe and those they do not. It’s fucked up that adults do it but we even let them run our fucking countries.

Religion truly is a disease on intelligence.

oh man you are so spot on. I remember a back and forth I had about me saying jesus espoused pacifism and a religious guy told me the turn the other cheek was meant to not be taken literally but a later thing where jesus is being taken away and he told his disciples he will have to arm themselves should (this part mind you is when he told the one to put away the sword and healed the soldiers ear). Its definitely what do I want the end thing to be and now let me interpret to reach that.

The Bible is a wonderful book; you can prove anything you want with it. ~Mark Twain

thank you. Its funny. As a kid having to read the books I did not like the man but as an adult who hears more and more of his quotes I love him. Quotes like this should be the required reading before reading his books.
