  I think you can participate in a spiritual life without being an asshole. It’s unfortunate so many don’t.

    Whatever that is supposed to mean, I’m sure you can. But you shouldn’t expect anything of the kind from the head of an organisation with millennia of the most gruesome human rights abuses on their record.

      Exactly.

    The pope is not just religious. He’s basically a politician as well, which is the more concerning demographic for likelihood of being an asshole.

    Not really. Detaching one’s self from reality is inherently hostile to humanity’s future. It’s an asshole thing to do.

    To be fair, we’re all assholes far more than we like to admit, religious or not. Being “spiritual” is not especially worse than a whole lot of other behaviors.

      Ok we’ll disagree then, I respect your opinion too.

        Why would anyone respect an opinion? I respect your right to have an opinion. I respect your right to advocate for an opinion. Opinions themselves should have to earn respect.

        This is a perfect example of the kind of harm that magical thinking must do to society in order to preserve itself. Your words sound egalitarian, but they make you an asshole without your even noticing it.
