What would I be classified as if I started worshipping, say, Thanos, and began preaching to everyone about him?

If it was safe for me to do so, my response would be to go out in my own religious country and film for you all the children throwing stones at animals (which they're encouraged to do so by their elders), all the beggars sleeping next to literal mounds of garbage, shunned by everyone, and the many other problems that religion is supposed to fix.
- catawbasam 7y agoGiven the context, I would classify you as insincere.
- Scapeghost 7y agoWhat context? Insincere how? I do strongly like a few deities from various fictions. I would gladly eat your ear off about them.
- catawbasam 7y agoThe context is that you clearly believe religion is nonsense, and a destructive force. Therefore if you were to advocate for a religion, you would be either lying or encouraging what you believe to be evil, and therefore evil yourself. Since poverty and ignorance bother you, I think lying would be the more likely explanation. Liking deities from various fictions is not the same as seeking to open oneself to God.
