      Evangelicals should be locked up in asylums. Nothing wrong with being religious if you interpret that by living your best life and helping people.

        “Nothing wrong with being religious as long as it doesn’t impact your life”

        Isn’t a good excuse

            if you interpret that by living your best life and helping people.

            Is “if you’re a good person regardless and ignore the parts I don’t like”

            The person who would do that, would do that without religion

              And if that person finds motivation in the possiblilty of something after death, and that brings a light to their life that they would otherwise succumb to existential dread over? Then they deserve to burn?

                Lol, if they require some promise of reward to behave then they aren’t a good person

                  That’s not at all what I said. For some people, the thought of oblivion leads to existential dread. It’s a belief in something more that keeps them going.

                  Are you saying that not being able to handle that makes you a bad person?

                    Sounds pretty childish

                    The sooner they learn to confront reality the sooner they can work on making their reality better

                    Seems you are depicting religion as a cause for a lack of motivation “nothing matters anyway because things will be better when I’m dead”
