Dear (my) god, you folks are irrational. If someone acts a certain way, judge them for it! But judging anyone with faith just because you don’t believe in that!? I can’t prove God exists any more than you can prove they don’t. If a religious person acts kind, fair, and rational, you shouldn’t have anything against them, should you? But this post isn’t about American right-wingers, or extremist Islamic Muslims, is it? It’s about anyone who has any faith at all, just because you don’t believe the same thing. Caring Christians literally building homes for people internationally, Sikhs feeding anyone, no matter their beliefs…
I know I’m going to get downvoted for this, but that’s literally small-minded.
It’s a post asking why people believe in religion. People who don’t believe in religion or spirituality really have no reason to comment other than to condemn. The arrogance of atheists on Lemmy is very disappointing.
What would you think of someone who goes door to door trying to convince you a blubbery clown rules the universe from planet zebulon?
Is that a normal person just doing normal person things?
For the non-religious, there is no difference between the person above and a relgious believer.
I think it’s reasonable to ask why people still hold unfounded beliefs with the greater interconnectedness of the world making it pretty plain that not all these religions can be divinely inspired truth, so many of them are necessarily imaginary.
Ignores the atrocities and genocide committed in the name of “religion” ✅
You are quite literally the pot calling the kettle black with your “small minded” comment. Nobody here was persecuting religion, but specific implementations that have committed mass murder, or engage in obnoxious displays (screaming at people at events (some events designed to support groups of people), going door to door, shaming vulnerable people trying to get medical procedures, etc etc)
The day you widen your view to see others perspectives and history of abuse is the day you’ll actually be on the right “religious” track. Humanity is the religion.
proceeds to generalize all religious people as the worst of religion
Most religious people do acknowledge all the stuff you’re talking about, and agree with you on how terrible they are. Most of the time when you meet a religious person, you won’t think there’s anything different until you ask them.

Disappointing, but not surprising.

I haven’t generalize anything - I was speaking of this specific instance but see whatever you want to see ig
