Not my name on Nostr: I’m curious about the moral guidance, community, and helping others aspect you ...
I’m curious about the moral guidance, community, and helping others aspect you raise.
Do you feel your chosen religion emphasizes those things? Do you feel you would not be a moral person, help others, or have a community without religion?
How do you know that religion, and not you as just a decent human being, is responsible for acting morally, helping others, and maintaining community?
This is one of the biggest lies that religion spreads. It tells people “see how great religion has made you?!” when in fact, good people will be good with or without religion, while bad people will be bad with or without religion. It takes credit for the good that already exists and blames the bad on people who “lack faith”.
Religion is completely pointless but fools people into thinking they’d be lost without it. And often for someone else’s gain.
No thanks.
