        Very true! Let’s not for about the religious war going on, whose deity fucks 8 year olds.

        Or the cult that plays pedo shuffle with the clergy.

        All religions are groomers and pedos.

            Is yours recognized by the government and are you tax exempt for it?

            Also, seafood has been shown to have some of the most microplastics of all the food we consume. Might want to cut back a bit for your own health.

                Then you’re not a religion yet. Just a small cult.

                Microplastics are what’s breaking through the blood-brain barrier, so you might want to reconsider that stance.

          Just providing theological clarification for educational purposes here, not necessarily refuting your point.

          Muhammad is not seen as a deity in Islam, he is seen as the final messenger of God.

          Many took issue with the Trinitarism of Christianity (which may have came into existance due to a compromise with Roman polytheistic paganism in the 4th century).

          Islam was in part a refutation to the divinity of Jesus. Muhammad’s desire was to unite the Arabian peninsula and bring the “descendants of Abraham” back to true monotheism.

          He succeeded in uniting the peninsula, but the Jewish and Christian people did not adopt his message. As a result we have three Abrahamic today with Islam being the youngest.

          Christian and Islamic empires then spent centuries at each other’s throats.

            Dogma is bad. It is blind to observable phenomenon and fails to yield to those that are demonstrably smarter. Dogma is subsentient latent animalistic primitivism that elevates ignorance and complacency to parity with a well established and supported reality.

            Belief in magic is toxic stupidity that holds back all of humanity. Any denialism of those that rigorously observe and document their findings, while inviting other equally qualified and credentialed experts to review and critique their work, is that bad. the fact that many of these fools inherit vast sums of money is the root cause of all the issues in the western world. A lack of meritocracy is a terminal cancer of which we are in late stage failure due to the penal colony inbred reject Puritans the Europeans purged 300 years ago, and the festering putrid froth simmering in their shadow.

              At first I thought you were agreeing with me, and then I saw you reference my “that bad” in an apparent rebuttal. I was taking issue with only the last sentence of BroBot’s comment, which assumes much more and much worse than just dogma is present every religion.

                I probably abstract on a more broad layer than I manage to communicate. Those things mentioned like grooming and pedophilia are certainly not universal to all members but they are enabled by the collective dogma.

                The dogma and institutions create an outsourced imitation of morality and ethics. However, they only possess the mechanisms of shame and guilt to alter behavior. These systems cannot create positive change or growth. They actually incentivise simply not getting caught.

                So while everyone is not actively grooming or a pedo, the overall system is fundamentally flawed and enables groomers and pedos in a way that can be construed as universally harmful under the auspice of dogma.

                In addition, the culture of dichotomous logic prevents open discussion and actionable help for those that may find children arousing. It is a major failure when the taboo is in such great conflict with the Epstein list where obviously most of elite society has engaged in the behavior.

                My issue is that religion is outsourcing of morality and ethics. That is not real morality or ethics at all. It is harmful tribalism. Yeah, I pin dogma to the issue of groomers and pedos because dogma indicts the entire tribalistic structure for the behavior at the margins.

            How many times do we need to have the priests be revealed as the groomers and pedos before we learn?

            How many times has it not been trans or drag queens.

            Oh! Every time over the decades it turns out to be the churches.

            Churches are organized pedo rings in disguise, using faith as an excuse to control and manipulate the uneducated masses.

            An individuals choice to believe whatever you want in the privacy of your own home is their own but the moment you join an organization ran by pedos pushing your agenda into politics and onto others, you can go fuck yourself and your cult.

                Same supernatural fake thinking that will leave you open to manipulation and not seeing the reality we live in.

                If you have to sacrifice and live under the rules of a nonexistent deity for the sake of an afterlife that doesn’t exist then you are part of a death cult. Simple as that.

    Hell doesn’t exist. And while I am an atheist, I would also point out that it’s not a scriptural concept at all. It was injected by paganism after the pseudo-Judaism that was Christianity had spent generations being absorbed into and mixed with Hellenist cultures, which already believed in an underworld.

      Hey! STOP IT! You can tell Christians about Christian history. Are you insane!

      It’s the same as telling them they should read the Bible! Like any of them ever would!

      It wasn’t until the early 1500s when William Tyndale translated the Bible into English and Gutenberg could mass produce it was it even available to read by the general populace!

      Incidentally William Tyndale was executed for his efforts. But we don’t talk about that.

        He did write that as a direct critique of the Catholic church, particularly its custom of accepting simony or “indulgence payments” in exchange for forgiveness of sins. He goes as far as to present the pope in the eighth circle of hell. So credit where credit is due.

        It was this profound corruption within Catholicism which created a schism within the church and led to Protestantism.

          Oh Dante was definitely doing what we would consider political commentary nowadays. The problem is that at some point people took his weird but respectable work of political, theological, and philosophical commentary a bit too literal. Pretty sure before Dante hell was seen as a void or as a permanent and irrevocable separation from God, though there were outlyers due to pagan influence for example I remember coming across a letter where a Norse monk was getting annoyed with the fact that peasants had synchronized Helheim and hell as concepts.
