    That is it’s fatal flaw, yes. People choose cowardly fantasy instead of courageously facing a reality, even though a reality without that abusive god is better. It means we are not the main characters, not under divine protection or supervision. We have the capacity to fix our own problems instead of wishing for the magic wizard to fix them.

    Jesus may have had a few nice quotes, but he distracted people from their own real lives with baseless promises about divine rewards. Christianity is a death cult, yet too many people are still defending it. We need to unite around the one truth that defines us instead of splintering into endless interpretations of delusional fantasy.

    Everyone is not entitled to believe what they want. Everyone is obliged to align their beliefs as closely with reality as possible.

      I mean this is a real tough convo for me giving I don’t believe in the supernatural and don’t see anything to indicate jesus was real. If he was though he seemed pretty good for the time. Not really sure if atheism existed back then but the world cultures usually had dominant religions. My guess is there are always going to be some folks who openly or not think the idea of gods is dumb. christianity is a lot of things depending on the version. Some are not all that bad and some are heinous. Pretty much the same with all the religions.
