        I’d love to hear arguments about how worshipping an invisible being that controls everything you do while also giving you complete autonomy isn’t cringe.

        Or how cutting the tips of baby penises off isn’t cringe. Or dunking a baby in special water isn’t cringe. Or saying the color spectrum visible through a prism is god’s way of saying he’ll never flood the earth again isn’t cringe.

        It’s all cringey af it doesn’t matter what religion. The problem is people actually believe these ridiculous fucking things

          I don’t understand why some people have such a big hate boner for mocking other people’s beliefs

            Probably because religious people do everything they can to bring “awareness” to their people’s “suffering”

            Probably because religion is constantly used as an excuse to violate human rights.

            Probably because religion has no place in modern society.

              Why shouldn’t people believe in whatever they want. As long as it’s not hurting anybody, there’s no problem.

              You say that religious people are wrong as if that actually answers why you’re allowed to mock them, the fact that people are wrong doesn’t make it okay to be an asshole

            If those believes are interfering with our governments policies, they aren’t just free to be mocked, but we are obliged to.

            Nobody cares about your believes if you pray on your own.

            Which is what it says in the Bible btw. [Matthew 6:6]

            Yes I do. I love a system that is based on understanding evidence and facts. I love a system that puts evidence above belief. I love a system that supports repeatable experiments over assumptions.

            I do love science. Not because it provides all the answers but because it’s as real as it gets.

            Take away all religion. In a thousand years there will be new religions.

            Take away all science. In a thousand years the same science will be discovered.
