All the religions are the same. They’re nothing but a scam.

It’s about people gaining sense of security through so called, “faith” but I believe majority are mis-interpretting what that means.

Imo, religious practice should be seen as “healing medicine” or a “psychedelic drug”.
Church, Temple, Mosque, or Synagogue should be visited when you’re lost, need some guidance, maybe reset some negative momentum from the society.
And After you gain and understand some word of wisdom, you should leave the religion to apply all that to your life. Reset, and having enough faith to move on.

But people stay, instead of living their lives, they stay longer at the religion, start making visits weekly, study deeper into the Bible, Koran, etc..., donate some money to the place, weird obligations, bla bla bla and they’re just stuck with that religion, and just bamboozled all the way.

“Do to others as you wish it was done to you” was said by Jesus?
It was Said by Confucius 500 yrs before Jesus. So was Jesus plagirizing Confucius?

Ahh...that one. That's the bitch he owned right? Fucking hilarious.
He owned her in the sense he talks fast and moves through subjects she doesn't have a scoobies about, but the man is essentially a huckster.

i hear ya on your main points. but your vebage is too aggressive. i attended catholic mass every sunday for the first 16 years of my life, but never once believed in some magical dude named jesus

the preachers speeches are still pertinent and the community events were a blast

with that said, i effin hate religion
When I was younger my preacher told me it was a sin to jerk off before or after my bedtime prayers.

So I stopped praying.

Got anymore labels for him?
Labeling happens when you tie it to an argument, with the purpose to be the argument, ad hominem, etc. I'm simply making an observation.

To discredit a person, one used to attack the argument, now you use a label in the first sentence of your argument, go back to binge watching Grey's Anatomy on Netflix.
