I feel organized religion is a detriment to society and should close permanently. Large churches and their indoctrination into superstitious 2k year old mumbo jumbo causes people to walk around with toxic guilt and shame leading to additions, broken families and suicide. I think churches, mosques and synagogues should go away also. No place for them in a modern society. They are at their core centers for repression, groupthink and against human liberty. See where we could go with this when we want to pick and choose what WE feel people should do.

And I agree with most of the opinions I was trying to ironic about. Religion is mostly dusty, old, self-verifying superstitious nonsense. Love Jesus but most of the Christian religion...meh. People are free to believe the moon is made of cheese also. You are for liberty or you are not. Not just things you agree with.

Then move to some religion free paradise like N Korea or China.

And don’t forget to look at the history or other atheistic regimes of the 20th century.

We are riding on the coattails of a very Christian culture, but that is quickly coming to an end as it is going exactly the way you desire.

We are now looking at living under the very conditions you espouse and it isn’t very pretty.

Why are you on FR anyways??

Love Jesus but...

An 'organized' church compiled the following words and gave them to the world for over 1500 years.

I doubt that you'd know to 'love Jesus' otherwise.


John 14:21

Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.”

That superstitious mumbo-jumbo you despise gave us this

In Congress, July 4, 1776.

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--

So if you despise God so much, leave already.
