Comment on President Trump suggested people shouldn’t feel sorry for Joe Biden over his cancer diagnosis
Inaminate_Carbon_Rod@lemmy.world 10 hours agoSaying that religion is only about money and control is like saying “computer games are all about violence”
Both are ignorant statements.
Evil people have attained great power. These people aren’t Christians, yet they pretend they are. These people prey on the poorly educated and the mentally ill.
Pretending to be Christian is just one of the tools in their arsenal.
Sincerely,
A Christian of 5 years who for 40 years was an extremely cocky atheist.
It is all about money and control. You cannot argue any other way. That is what religion does. It may not be what it evolves into exactly, and it may not be what the believers even want.
But there is no denying it, every modern example is this way without exception. You think people in the past were any different? You think that is why for the longest time Christians weren’t even allowed to read their own book?
Religion is a tool to enrich some and control others. There are very few exceptions.

Christians are a core MAGA demographic, like it or not. Christianity is a violent terrorist hate group, and always has been.
Sure they do nice stuff now and then, but so do all evil people and organizations. Escobar built schools and churches, Hitler liked dogs and children, who fucking cares? None of their token good works offsets the evil they have done, and continue to do, and that includes ALL religions.

Well I disagree and I can’t see any productive conversation moving forward.
Take care.

Yep, Christianity has been a scourge on humanity for 2000 years. Not going to resolve that issue today. I got MAGAs to deal with before they get as entrenched and as hard to dislodge as Christianity

I understand your position.
