>I grew up in the southern United States
That explains it. Your only experience with Christianity is with the oddest strains of it. I see that stuff pretty often with American "atheists". What they refer to as church feels like a fever dream, or something entirely alien.
>Anyone who thinks, believes, or sells otherwise? You’re a lunatic.
I disagree. You disagree with me, so you're insane.
- ranman 6y agoIve also traveled all over the planet and see versions of Christianity-lite or “Islam-lite”. It’s still mental cancer. Believing in an imaginary sky god in 2020 is a mental health crisis. It’s absolutely absurd. The scientologists who think that life was seeded by aliens have more to stand on than Christians do. You can’t even have a rational debate with a religious person because they will just fall back on “faith”
- henriquemaia 6y agoLet's be more generous with the opposing position. If, as been argued, we're religious by nature (which the worldwide spread of different, often contradictory, beliefs amply demonstrates), religion is not a mental cancer, and belief in X is not a mental crisis. Like our innate tribalist tendency of viewing the whole world as an unending conflict between us and them, we, modern humans, must try to find solutions that take those characteristics in consideration, not pretend they do not exist. It's no one fault to have a religious tendency. There's no bad faith in being a believer.
- watwut 6y agoI don't live in America and Catholic priests are leading the mini movement against lgbt and feminism. And by opposition to feminism I mean stuff like claiming that male should be head of household and keep her in line via yelling and hitting table with fist. Even in case of domestic violence they focus on getting couple together and about how woman should be nice.
