i just wanna say
if you dont want to interact with religious ppl you are perfectly valid
im talking actively avoiding them entirely
i have met plenty and read/heard/STUDIED about even more of them and i can tell you there are so many fucked up ppl, rules, and religions
it's scary
i can tell you from experience anyone who's met even ONE of the unpleasant ones won't blame you lmao
as someone who's been scarred because of religion and had their entire life fucked over largely because of it,
this shit is not ok
my experience is with christian religions but-
ik others have done plenty of damage
now there are plenty of religious "casuals" and ppl who don't really care, who tend to not be so bad
in fact I've met some really cool ppl who are really relaxed about it
the key here is PRINCIPALS
most every christian religion has dozens of insanely fucked up rules and beliefs
homophobia, transphobia, RULES ON HOW TO TREAT YOUR SLAVES AND HOW THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO SUBMIT TO THEIR MASTERS, clothes are gender limited and not even defined???, one superior race,
support for colonization, women's rights out the window- there are even verses that state sexual assault isn't a crime against the one assaulted. it's a crime against the father or the husband of the one assaulted. nothing for assaulted men either.animal sacrifice and the way it-
works is so beyond bullshit, the list goes on and on and on
where does all this come from
oh yes
the bible
some ppl only "follow" the new testament
nice try but there's plenty of shit there too
jesus is a quack and- Revelation :|
the bible as a whole completely denies science,
like any kind of proven law of constants
the only way anyone follows this
old work of ridiculous fiction is by ignoring and making excuses for the blatant nonsense staring directly at its readers
trust me that's what i did and my family still does
it's all you can do
hell, my dad tries to find a way to support his entire manipulative, controlling personality through the epistles alone and some of it is pretty hard to argue with because he's not really going against what it says LMAO
(fun fact i didn't even leave religion because of my dad or any of my religious trauma
i just quit ignoring the obvious bullshit in the bible lmfao)
paul's an arrogant manipulative misogynist who should have never picked up a pen btw :)
now christian religions aren't the only fucked ones
there are plenty of muslim and indian religions that are actively causing harm as we speak
destructive religions aren't limited to any-
country
this shit is everywhere
and it's holding entire countries, and humanity as a whole, back
now there are religions like shintoism that afaik seem pretty tame
but following a religion is NEVER an excuse to not acknowledge basic human rights
ever.
one last note
"how can so many ppl follow the bible then??"
do you know how many ppl voted for trump.
a lot of ppl don't think for themselves.
