The poll found 50% of Democrats approve of how Biden has navigated the conflict while 46% disapprove — and the two groups diverge substantially in their views of U.S. support for Israel. Biden’s support on the issue among Democrats is down slightly from August, as an AP-NORC poll conducted then found that 57% of Democrats approved of his handling of the conflict and 40% disapproved.
This also explains why they don’t care about the environment. They believe it literally doesn’t matter and Jesus will come and fix it all.
It really is that simple. I’ve seen it from the inside.
Yep! Even on a smaller scale, they don’t think about things because it’s just all part of god’s plan. Religion is quite literally a mental virus that reduces someones’ ability to think.
Faith is required to live sanely since no one can learn everything. The problem arises when they (always) use faith instead of rationalization. Religious people view rationalization as if its root word isn’t “reason”. As if its only definitions are the shortcut idiot ones. They replace rationalization with faith, which in many cases, results in them completely ignoring fact in favor of fantasy.
Religion is literally mind poison, training people to favor what they want to be true over what is factually true. It should surprise no one that intolerant extremists come from all religions.
And as I hinted: faith is intrinsic to human experience. Even many atheists still use faith in place of reason (just look at any atheist tankie), and many people use faith outside of spirituality. The problem arises when you use faith to justify things instead of reason, and ALL religion teaches faith over reasoning.
Religion is literally thought cancer. It distracts and eats up your mental resources until your logical brain dies and you beleive anything an authority says so long as you have faith in that authority. Religion is literally the devil as described by their own religion.
Rationalising things kind of demonstrates dogma as much as a religious faith would though so you’re basically just complaining about religious nutters
No, rationalizing’s FIRST definition is using logic and reasoning to understand things. You are doing the same thing as religious nutters by treating “rational” as if its main root word AND first definition are literally the opposite of what they are.
Rationalizing is ONLY bad IF you are taking shortcuts and making assumptions. You are choosing to completely and utterly miss the entire point that religion produces the mental justifications for the bad kind of rationalizing. Religion trains people to dismiss using logic and accept easy answers.
Stop doing the same thing against religion. Stop dismissing analysis just because nutters exist. The nutters aren’t the only ones doing utterly stupid things like ignoring climate change and cheering on religious apartheid in Israel and the US.
