Man today I just found out about frazzledrip. Never heard of it before.
Well, billions believe in a God, so that is already a normal thing to do, believe in things with zero evidence.
It’s interesting how the media never ever talks about religious black people. They never interview them. When they talk about “Christians” it’s always always white republicans.
And generally rural white Americans.
Yep. The power the unverifiable has over our species is nothing short of amazing, and terrifying all at the same time. Millions of muslims believe they need to kill infidels, meaning anyone who leaves the religion or any who "oppose" it, even if that opposition is just speaking out for human rights abuses. The death toll attributed to the Catholic Church over it's history is well into the millions. And even today billions of religious people of many different faiths, including but not limited to mainstream Christianity, most protestant and reformist christian sects, islam as a whole, and even Judaism in terms of who is generally in charge, and even some Buddhist texts, all hold that women are inferior to men, somewhere on the spectrum of simply "less important" overall to "actual property and open for capital punishment and full behavioral control", even if it isn't preached at the pulpit. Pagan ceremonies sacrificing humans to imaginary gods. Conquest of neighboring countries in the name of whatever religion has been commonplace over the course of human history. Even Hitler used religious beliefs as one of the excuses for the atrocities he committed, and the general populace defended them on the same grounds. And religion was the primary reason and excuse for empire building from the Ottoman to the Gupta to the Christian empires of Western Europe, and more. Hell the Bible was used to justify slavery in the United States, from the curse of Ham to the admonition of slaves to obey their masters. Yep, continual belief in the imaginary has been an insanely destructive force in the entire history of human civilization and society. The current wave of this is just the latest iteration. And others will come after.
