    My name is also a form of Jesus and I 100% beleive Religion is a historical control mechanism to make communities self police before we had the resources for modern law enforcement.

    It’s no longer a useful tool for humanity and its governments, it’s a dangerous weapon left lying around for any con man to abuse.

    You can do whatever hobby you want in your own home with consenting adults.

      So if you are to rid it with what would you replace it? Notice how you want so badly yet have no real logical solution but abhorrent abuse of control over another’s right to speech and identity.

      You have to foster imagination for children, enough for them to understand how they are held up by their ideals, how the minds of others is but a shell. How they themselves are worthy of love beyond their sins, misdoings, and mistakes. That we can evolve as a person.

      Then again, a fascist like you probably sees the bible as one book. One thing absolute and nothing beyond it, because there is nothing beyond you. At least when I was truly atheist, I was curious for my own self growth of character.

      It’s no longer a useful tool for humanity and its governments

      It is extremely useful for both, one is liberation and the other is enslavement. So denying outright means only the bad folks will talk about it, and only they will foster hope. Your pebbles will run amiss the giant.

        It has a replacement. It’s called the modern formal law enforcement system like I said.

        Religon isn’t needed by the human race anymore.

        And you only feel like it is because you were groomed as a child to think that

          Not really? I want to bring children into the world and I searched for the right religion that fostered hope. Couldn’t find it, so making my own interpretation of the world.

          As a child I denounced religion, however in death I wanted to find meaning. In it I found beauty. Your eyes cannot see for they have not felt a pain undeniable. They only see what you think, delude yourself a reality - then again when did you last breathe new life into this earth? Without wanton destruction.
