I absolutely do not.
I did once, for about nine months when I was 18.
Then an exorcism happened, I became doubtful and finally stopped believing.
Neither.

I can’t imagine a world with god in it.
I don’t believe in any deities. Although, Greek mythology really would be cool if it was real.
Cool, and also terrifying.
Like The Fonz wielding a chain saw
I asked AI to draw that with interesting resultsI mean, it got the jacket sort of right 🤷
I had to ask it to tweak it several times hah
Nope. Never have that I remember.
I did go to Catholic school though
No.
Absolutely not. Though the best question would be: Which one? There’s hundreds, if not thousands in history.
Yes*
Yes, I believe I’m part of God, same as all it exists, we are God, we are energy, we are 1.
I’ll have what soulre4er is having.
Which one?
The spaghetti monster
Ramen to that!
Praise be Its Noodly Appendage
No, all religion is dumb.
nah, religion seems like a scam that usually results in unhinged beliefs and abuse.
Not a fan generally speaking.
if you dig into any religions beliefs, it goes into some wild fairy tail stuff that just…doesnt happen.
Not to mention that folks tend to base their morals on religion, and religions have very flawed morals.
the difference between god and myself is that if I could, I would prevent a child from getting bone cancer.
If you need to rely on an external force and fear of hell to have morals, you’re not a good person.
Religion did have good morals in theory. Not in practice.
Also, unrelated to your points, religion didn’t evolve. It stayed about the same for thousands of years, despite new science.
i didnt say religion only had bad morals. broken clocks and such.
but christianity in specific has a lot of flawed morals that christians handwave. like Mary being 12 when she gave birth to Jesus, or pretty much everything old testament.
claims of a perfect and just omnipotent god while stuff like that flies is sloppy.

Which one is that?
That jesus dude had some pretty liberal thoughts. Buddhism was a nice reaction to the caste system. The method of delivery may not be inherently moral, but it is possible to manipulate a population in a way overall beneficial to society.

He personally, maybe. I didn’t know the guy. The religion that grew around him, though … not so much.
I’m not sure if it’s because of his father or he just had terrible editors for his posthumous book release. But some of the stuff in there is quite abhorrent.
It’s quite easy to find a lot of legitimately disgusting stuff in there, true. I’m on the antireligious apatheist side of things, so you don’t have to convince me on that. But I wouldn’t go as far as saying some religions’ fundamental pillars don’t have any good messages behind it. “Love one another” alone isn’t too bad at face value, isn’t it?
We a have so many other books now that contain all those good messages, even a lot more with more relevance to modern life, without all the terrible stuff and non-sense.
It just makes no sense to keep a 2000 old book around for a couple of good messages that are already thaught in many other, more modern stories and context.
The point was “do religions have any good in them”, not “are religious texts still relevant”.
Yep. In all of them, just to be sure in case…

It’s better to be at the right hand of the devil than in his path.
Or similar, it’s been a while!
