I see only benefits. If a creator exists, they will come back to reignite the spark of evangelism like they "did" before. This might give us a bunch of new stories and an update of the bible to match modern life. If a creator does not exist, then we are freed of all doubt and can continue with our lives without worrying about ending in hell, etc.
- Lerc 5mo agoI think informed consent should exist for anyone to join a religion. I don't understand how anyone could believe anything else is consistent with faith. I also do not understand how people consider the violation of that consent to be so abhorrent when it is applied to children in one context and reasonable when applied in another context. Subjecting children to sex is an act that violates their consent and can influence the entire rest of their lives, which is what makes it so bad. For religion that lifetime influence is the goal, to me that seems even worse.
