Sounds good in theory, but a) creationism isn’t a religion and b) creationists and other religious folks aren’t always content to “keep it to themselves.” They often try to use legislation to force their religious views into public schools, for instance.
I see far more post for these types of “jokes”, that are low effort and repost far more often than I see people trying to legitimately shill for a religion. On here and on reddit.
Want to hear a fun fact? I grew up in a fundie family and spent every Wednesday after (christian) school, for hours in the Florida sun, wearing a suit, walking door to door trying to get people to be “saved”./ Before spending 2 hours that evening in church where we’d tive status reports on how many we’d “saved” that day. I feel really fucking guilty about that, but I blame my parents more for forcing me into that. Fuck em.
Genuine question if you don’t mind answering. About how many people did you actually “save”? I feel like most people are universally opposed to door-door salesman.
I dunno, maybe one or two a month? Not that many. People in that podunk orange-grove town were already pretty religious either at the same church or similar. Generally was kids who didn’t know any better that were just outside playing or teens around our age. And yes, almost all of it was “no thanks, goodbye”
We also once spent a week in the far off land of heathens you might have heard of before. It’s called “Canada”. Pretty third world, but we definitely unheathened a lot of kids at church camp that week.
Man I feel so dirty just thinking about what I used to consider “normal” human behavior and all the churchy judginess I had. Thanks parents. At least I got out as soon as I was old enough and never looked back.
I’d love to hear arguments about how worshipping an invisible being that controls everything you do while also giving you complete autonomy isn’t cringe.
Or how cutting the tips of baby penises off isn’t cringe. Or dunking a baby in special water isn’t cringe. Or saying the color spectrum visible through a prism is god’s way of saying he’ll never flood the earth again isn’t cringe.
It’s all cringey af it doesn’t matter what religion. The problem is people actually believe these ridiculous fucking things
Yes I do. I love a system that is based on understanding evidence and facts. I love a system that puts evidence above belief. I love a system that supports repeatable experiments over assumptions.
I do love science. Not because it provides all the answers but because it’s as real as it gets.
Take away all religion. In a thousand years there will be new religions.
Take away all science. In a thousand years the same science will be discovered.
