    The desire to control people who follow compassionate teachings is what turned sound advice into the dogma we see today. It’s an unfortunate history, not unique to Christianity.

      It’s the institutionalisation of religion that’s a problem.
      If everyone would just focus on finding their own connection with god/the universe/whatever, nobody would have a problem.

      Fuck churches and using religion for politics.
      That’s why we have the separation of church and state at least - although not enough and currently it’s backpedaling…
