Enlightenment, spirituality, faith — there’s nothing wrong with these things.

Organized Christianity is a social climbing scheme for people who desperately want to get away with never needing to truly outgrow their dysfunction. That’s why organized Christianity is popular with bigots, abusers, and people who hate the mirror.

    Let me add this, if religion provides comfort or makes someone want to be a better person? That carries value still.

      A less problematic person in some social situations usually results in bottled up emotions that become oppression when let out. Spirituality and faith aren’t bad things (I consider them essential to the human experience), but not the social climbing pyramid that is the white Christian church of the first world.
