everyone has seen the world through religious eyes. they just grew up and stopped believing in imaginary friends, santa claus, the tooth fairy, the boogeyman, etc–some people just kept on going with the magical jesus beliefs

the only way to disempower them is to shun them. you can’t reason with people who defenestrate reason and facts that don’t align with their fantasy world. people have been trying to do just that for thousands of years, and here we still are, having to waste time arguing about shit that should have been settled long ago, because people want to hate “other,” and religion makes them feel like their hate is righteous.

fuck religion. i “dismissed the religious paradigm” when i was a kid, and don’t plan on un-dismissing it
