My dad said this and he’s an antitheist. He didn’t say this about every kind of suffering but most kinds of suffering are a choice. This what most religions teach. Even if suffering isn’t a choice, dwelling on it is a path to eternal suffering.

    Well, that’s all complete bullshit.

    Before religions, all humans made individual choices. During religion, all humans made individual choices. Even now, people still make individual choices. Your fictional religion just ignores reality and pretends everything is always religion, and it’s never been any other way. Just lies.

    Yeah, freedom, education,a nd choice really does fuck up religion’s absolute control, indoctrination, and forced activies. Fuck religion, and fuck you.

      The hate and vitriol in this post proves why following God is the only path to success and happiness. You can free yourself from such misery and hate. I hope that you are able to find peace.
