7. "Bigoted"? If criticizing chosen belief systems makes one bigoted,
Sat Mar 4, 2023, 04:57 AM

then you’re a bigot if you say anything negative about Republican tenets.

I’m so tired of people acting like religious beliefs are off limits to criticism just because they involve
supernaturalism and magic.

“Faith” is literally belief in the absence of evidence. To me it couldn’t be more obvious that it’s patriarchal nonsense and mythology. Christianity has poisoned this country in many ways, and I’m not going to pretend otherwise.

The resurrection fable is just as loony as the stuff this guru spews. However, it’s culturally accepted because it’s older and has served the purpose of controlling people for centuries.
