Casual Conversation

Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I know this is meant to be a casual conversation and this topic can get deep fast, but I’d love to hear everyone's elevator pitch for their religion or lack thereof. peace and love<3

No. It's a scam created by humans to control the behavior of other humans. And to steal their $$ with false hopes of a nonexistent "paradise".

I find it mind boggling that people still get indoctrinated into the Cults. It's sad and pathetic.

Do you think that religion as a whole is unproductive/useless? Maybe even borderline harmful?

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Not the OP, but I believe religion, while having some positive aspects, is overall harmful. Lies always are.

Very harmful. Full of BS. Countless millions murdered in the name of religion. Trillions $$ stolen from people's pockets. And more Trillions $$ in slave labor, either true slaves or fools that have volunteered many hours of their time.

Big religion should not be treated any differently than the truly rotten Cults .
