I never once said murder, I was more thinking catch and release [into prison]. Also, the world’s population is not a majority of priests.
Stop giving the delusional religious people of this world a safe space, this religion shit needs to stop, it only hurts humans in the long run.
I’m sorry you don’t get it, but thinking that religion is ok IS part of the problem…..pull your head out of your ass.
But if you eliminate priests then more people will just become priests to replace them. Before you know it you'll have the majority of the world's population in jail.
There's no evidence for Christianity hurting humans. This antitheistic zealotry is no different than ISIS. "I'm right about god(s) and everyone else who disagrees must suffer"
Um, every nation on the face of this planet has endured a genocide by Christian missionaries. Christians spent the better part of 2000 years slaughtering, plundering, torturing, enslaving, and force converting every lower tech civilization they encountered. There is no organization in existence which has ever done greater harm to humanity.
But we don't want to kill you. We want to convince you all to stop. Stop believing you were ever a force for good. Stop hurting everyone around you out of self-righteous delusion. Stop believing a bunch of bronze age, middle eastern, medieval, mystical bullshit. We live in the modern world, and there is no question, we absolutely know better than they did.
As some one who doesn't practice any religion, even I think it makes little sense to argue with atheists these days. Atheism has become the new opiate of the masses.
Extremest beliefs, no matter what those beliefs are, is a bad thing. And those who are at the extremes will tend to doing evil things in the name of their belief.
You can believe whatever the fuck you want in the comfort of your head. Pushing it onto others as if it were true is another….which is what theists do, and some of us are fucking sick and tired of it.
