Ranting about religion and child abuse

I feel your frustration. Being surrounded by potentially delusional people all day is basically disturbing. I feel that everyone is entitled to their opinion, just don't stuff it down my throat. Alot of misconceptions and assumptions come from organized religion and royally f up people's freedoms. That's what really gets to me. I just wish people in general would let everyone else live their lives without so much interference and truly live by the golden rule. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Simple, straight up and to the point. Hope everyone has a good day. From your local atheist 😁

Preach. (hehe)

Im Jewish so my view on this is probably going to be different from others. But I see at least the Torah as a traditional epic written by our ancestors dealing with spiritual themes and our history. They were written by people who were flawed and had egregious views for our times that shouldn’t necessarily be praised. But I see it nonetheless as part of our heritage and something I respect (with a modern outlook of course) even if I don’t think it’s the literal words of god. For me it’s a story that has symbolic and spiritual meaning that helps me through life, even as a trans woman. The Jewish spiritual tradition is one among many and it’s not for everyone. Spirituality is not for everyone. From my experience in the Jewish community my view is not that fringe either outside of orthodox communities. Not sure why people have to think their path is correct and everyone else’s is wrong.

I grew up Christian. I 10000% get this. It’s so annoying how Christian’s think they’re right. I’m no longer Christian. I’m a little spiritual though. Lgbt was definitely targeted in Christianity and in the Bible when the book was changed years and years ago to make LGBT look bad.

yeah, I just don't like them. And I don't hate you or anything but I think the idea of religion is kinda silly. I don't think there's anything wronf with being religious if you aren't hurting anyone, but when people go on about God and the "holy spirit" I feel such genuine anger and annoyance. It just feels so dumb. And I hate God himself, I see no point in worshipping him. He's an asshole as far as I can tell, so it makes sense most Christians are. I just don't really get the point of religion or why people do this. I'm not trying to be mean, to each their own but to me it's a waste of time. Praying to something that no matter how much you try will never respond. I just don't really get it? Like why hate people over something you can't even prove exist? Just makes no sense.

As a Christian, I agree with you for the most part. So many people use religion as an excuse to abuse people. I know how incredibly toxic and non Christian, Christians can be. I kinda keep my religion to myself because I know people hate Christians so much which is sad but understandable because of how hateful Christians can be even if the bible says the opposite. I dont even like alot of Christians. The majority of Christian genz and millenials arent as bad as the 40s and up people. It's sad but the bible said it would happen so I'm not surprised :/

You're not alone
