Religion doesn't hurt anyone if you accept everyone's beliefs and don't go too far with your religion

[–] ParsnipWitch@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

What is "too far" though? Is raising your children to follow specific religious rules already too far? Because I think it is, but many others think that's okay. What about expecting your surroundings to accommodate your religion? At what point exactly is that going too far?

That's the point. They all start nice and friendly. And the more power they gain, the more hardcore it gets. The first step (joining a cult) is already "too far"

I don't expect anyone to do stuff to accomodate my beliefs, and if I have kids, I'll let them believe in whatever they want.

Sure, in the same way that not knowing how to count or add and subtract numbers doesn't technically hurt anyone. But it sure as fuck stifles their potential in life and they would definitely be better off getting educated on the topic.

I don't do much in my life because I believe in God...
