    Everyone should stop going to churches, synagogues, mosques, the church of latter day saints, and scientology. But the FOMO and fear of eternal damnation is too strong. It’s too bad, if they could just realize that everything is god including themselves, they could live happier more fulfilling lives in like a week.

        I stopped going to church because the community was composed of rank hypocrites and bigots. I can have communal spaces elsewhere.

        100 percent true. After many long years of observation and philosophical debates with myself, this was the logical conclusion I came to.

        Most of those who visit th se “holy places” do so for the community and rarely for any actual religious reason.
