The scariest thing I hear time and time again from Christians is the following.

"I don't trust people who don't believe in god because they have no moral compass."

They say this in such a matter of fact way. Most people have a good understanding of right and wrong without a rule book. For many that "moral compass" is intrinsic, even instinctual. It is an evolved part of humanity that helps us operate within a society. The Christian's are saying it is a core piece of humanity that they lack and since they model their perception of others after themselves they cannot fathom that concept. They are broken humans who without a ruler/leader would be dangerously unpredictable and violent as they have no system to make good choices. This is why those same people prefer a king.

I think that most Christians don’t feel that they personally need the leash, but are so pessimistic about society that they think everybody else needs the leash.

Hot take (ayy lmao) hell doesn't exists and it's just a social construct

Just maybe the main issue is kind of the fact that nobody on either part of the discussion can properly read a fucking book.

Might be just my imagination playing with me, but most fucking people in the Bible were committing atrocities even despite being the main protagonists. And the ones that did not, were fucking murdered left and right.

I mean... That's the whole point of Christianity, right? It's not exactly refuting their beliefs.

A while back I got to see a Buddhist Hell Garden. I remember wondering what freaken sociopath was given access to the resources to build this and why. If you haven't seen one just imagine some horrible middle ages painting that the Catholics are ashamed of made with 3D and you can walk around looking at statues getting things crammed into their ass or in a boiling pot.

This is real religion. This isn't the Disneyfied cleaned up Jesus loves the little children of the developed world.

Looks like dancers in a club x)

I mean that's just one way to interpret it. Another way is that these myths are just stories of the human experience.

From a utilitarian point of view, It Just Werks™
