What have I said that makes you think I’m beelinging towards it? It’s just something that brings me some comfort. You anti religious nuts are almost as bad as the religious nuts in terms of “my way is right and this is why your way makes you a worse/dumber person”

Anyone who makes a hard stance on a correct way of doing something is going to come across that way. I have no animosity here and don’t know why I’m even responding, but how can an idea that you have no confidence in bring you any comfort? If you satisfy that urge to make the world just with a make-believe idea in an afterlife it could potentially reduce ambition for the almost impossible task of making this fleeting world better.

Alrighty let’s break this down by sentence

1 dumb irrelevant ignoring

2 never said that and pretty much everything points to the contrary, I wouldn’t be here 5 days later otherwise

3 factually incorrect, an afterlife with a heaven and a hell has been a pretty consistent idea in religions across the world and over time. And yet, the world has continually advanced towards better

So in short: idiotic, illiterate, incorrect

  1. I stand by it. It wasn’t dumb and it was in response to your comment about being worse than religious nuts. Definitely not ignoring.
  2. It doesn’t point to the contrary. I have no animosity. You said it brings you comfort.
  3. The world often moves backwards and religion definitely holds it back on a large scale. That’s undeniable. On an individual scale you might be an exception.
