Religion is dumb. It's 2022 guys we shouldn't be still believing in sky fairies.

Jesus of Nazareth was a real person. That's who the nativity scene depicts

Religion is the cause of all evil if you think about it.

that doesn't make any sense whatsoever
AdHistorical7107 t1_j0qn7i3 wrote
What doesn't make sense? There have been wars with millions of deaths based on one's "religion", even until this day. Religion says premarital sex is evil. Religion says buying unnecessarily is evil. Religion is literally the cause of all evil.

All we got pre religion are on stick figures on the wall. Then we have sumerians writing, which was the same.
Show me proof no human conflict before religion. Or show me conflict before religion.

Says very clear the reasons are unsure.
Did someone piss off the sun God? Or the land God?
We don't know. But I'm inclined to think religion may have played a part in it.

So you don't have any evidence to back up your claims either

I stand by religion is root of all evil. However, if you can provide concrete evidence otherwise, then I'll retract. Not saying your article isn't legit. Just leaves alot to question.

Existance in the wild is a struggle for survival. Are you honestly suggesting that humans evolved to cooperate with one another 100% without any type of violence and then threw that all away one someone said there was a god/gods. That's ridiculous
AdHistorical7107 t1_j0r3nt7 wrote
How so? You haven't really provided anything otherwise.....
Think about the wars and conflict that arise because of religion. Even as recent as abortion.

What about strictly for profit corporate sweatshops, im curious how religeon factors into that. I think you're conflating religeon with morality. In ethics, evil deeds are defined as those that are inherently selfish, while good deeds are inherently selfless, ie giving to others before taking for yourself. I ask you, are you suggesting there was no such thing as selfishness at any time in the human evolution before our brains could formulate the concept of a higher power?

It's religion. Evil is evil. We are discussing religion and how my belief is that religion is the root of all evil....
Prove me otherwise....

But we are making each other think 🤔.
I'll take that.

And as soon as someone sets up a Baphomet statue, or a group shows up for Krampusnacht, they'll loose their shit.
