    Religion is child abuse. No surprise there’d be more. They’re already in the business. It’s on the package. That’s what they’re selling.

    They take young inquisitive minds and teach them to be subject and secondary to archaic bullshit and propaganda as early as they can listen, teaching them they deserve abuse and can’t trust their senses and intuitions and sense of self. It’s fucking disgusting.
    Even the best pieces of religion are just a table setting, training to lay down a lifetime of torment and failure. A means to take away any agency and decency and accomplishment an individual might have, so they can be appropriated and misused by greedy lying abusive fucks in supposed positions of power, people we’re supposed to respect.

    Religion has no place in society. It is a perversion and a derangement of the natural sense in decent individuals that there should be goodness between people and that we should improve ourselves and our environment in a meaningful way. It is absolutely designed to debase human’s faith in ourselves and has only survived because successful religions piggyback on the worst parts of vestigial tribal instincts, outlets for which have otherwise been mostly removed from modern life.
