    So do you see that your religion is bullshit? Or do you believe in all of it? Or do you just pick and choose what you want to believe that fits your narrative to make you feel good at night?

    Just curious.

      Why would my religion be bullshit? Are you atheist?

      I’ve studied the Bible. I think it’s useful, but it doesn’t answer everything.

        I don’t believe in religion. It’s bullshit. I could go on for weeks pointing out passages that are ignored now (why? it’s gods word right?) What makes your “god” the god? It’s all a scapegoat and really I believe it was just an early form of government. It has NO business in schools or our government and should 100% should be paying taxes.

          Geez, it’s obviously impossible to live exactly by the book. Of course, passages are going to be ignored.

          I think God is simply a mean to give people’s life meaning and purpose.

          Any group, government, society, organization, family, community, etc. has their own rules and beliefs.

          You’re choosing to believe in something, but clearly not religion. I hope you can still be moral and ethical, though.

            I don’t need an angry sky guy to threaten me with hell to be moral and ethical. I also don’t need him to give me meaning and purpose. I can do that all on my own. I believe in karma, be a good human.

              I love your reply, and I agree with most of it. Mostly the second half.

              But I think your perceptions of God, Hell and Heaven are quite naive. I don’t believe in tooth fairies and unicorns, either.
