  • I am even to the point now where I no longer believe certain people need religion anymore. They need community and a sense of belonging and religious leaders like to highjack that basic need for their own selfish interests.

    I think I agree with basically everything you’ve said here and especially this conclusion. The problem is that for many the only type of these things they can find is couched in religion. As a child-free atheist, I basically have no sense of belonging nor a community.

    In addition, some people’s only exposure to even the very concept of morality or ethics comes through religion.



  • Religion is not the source of our social bounds and morality rather a parasite of control left over from ancient times.

    Not the person you’re replying to, but I’m an atheist or an agnostic and even I’m not so sure about that.

    When given the idea that there is no retribution or reprocussion for their actions, many people become nihilistic and act terribly.

    I agree that it’s weak to need a “sky daddy” to act properly, but many people are weak.

    I took a single-semester Linux course and had the terminal down pat.

    And this is where I stop reading.

    EDIT: Seriously guys, this statement reminds me of when the little girl in the original Jurassic Park is like “this is unix, I know this” and then starts flying around the park virtually using “Unix” 3D style.
