I contend that the truly devout should rather denounce their religion so as to not provide cover for monsters who pretend in vain to be something they are not.

But that's very reductive of me as well, I'm sure it does enough good in some way, but I find it hard to believe in any sort of invisible almighty benevolent figure that has all the power in the universe, and yet we live in a world where if they were real, I couldn't help but think they are cruel at best.

It's literally one of their ten commandments (using the Lord's name in vain). They changed the meaning of it to mean "don't say Jesus Christ out loud" it's so fucking stupid.

Brain isn't parsing religious not-piece-of-shit. I know they have existed, but it feels like in the modern context it just doesn't work.
