    I’ve never understood how what you choose to do is supposed to matter when they claim God knows everything, and everything that happens in your life is all going according to God’s plan. If these idiots weren’t so conditioned to worship their imaginary Sky-Daddy on fear of an eternal punishment from the all-powerful asshole that’s supposed to love them no matter what, half the world’s problems would disappear instantly.

        I only read the summary (because all I’ve ever cared about in life is what’s most likely to be the actual truth - as I age, I’ve got much less time and energy to spend on explanations for what are obviously in the end still effectively the same bullshit sidetracking that people choose to fall for). Mildly interesting justification for what is still inherently just another coping mechanism for those that prefer cling to their bullshit fantasies instead of accepting the actual truth reality dictates they will have to deal with sooner or later.

        Thanks for sharing, tho - I’ve bookmarked it for further reference should I need it when I’m in yet another pointless religious debate.

    Praying is akin to meditation but has no real affect on the world around you, you would be much better trying to do something yourself or asking for help from those around you.

    I used to be tolerant of religion, used to defend religion on Reddit (Was even banned sitewide for it)

    But after much soul searching, I realized that I was too open minded on the existence of magic and souls.

    No one should believe anything that isn’t true, and since God isn’t real, believing in him can only do harm.
