  • With all the respect i can muster, you are the one misunderstanding religion’s purpose.

    They are not.

    If organized religion ever helps humanity at all it is through the good people it inspires to help, the good part of humanity it brings out. The people who focus on that aspect of its tenets would always be good.

    But the book(s) and the men who wrote them are as full of power and venom as any other book, and the very idea that one is special by birth is disgusting and small. It is a venal thought shared by the religious and nazis alike.

    The cancer is organized religion. There is no bad apple within its core to root, it is itself the problem.

    and while the world will never be rid of its mind stifling influence, i will never stop dreaming of the shining day we grow beyond it



  • I donvoted cuz representation isn’t a thing. It isnt ‘making up’ for anything. It doesn’t take time away from programming “fun” in. Everything op said was such an insipid, cataclysmically bad take that my finger hit the down arrow in self-defense, lest i be infected by his brainworm.

    the very idea that it could is such a ridiculous assumption, it needs lots and lots of downvotes to help future posters understand just how bad a take it is. This could even help insure better posts can be made in the future by better people.



  • I also have a theory that a large number of disorders are exacerbated by the stress and anxiety we all feel.

    I have a mental illness level that is monumentally higher post-COVID than the before times, so this tracks with me.

    Like, i mostly had my add and anxiety whipped thru EOOD and healthier eating habits, kicked booze to the curb.

    Now i feel horrible again, like i used to feel back when i was a teenager. Its so much more than i can handle alone. Med’d up with a drug that makes me feel “off”. Fighting agoraphobia daily.

    Yeah it’s not just my chemistry, not anymore. Maybe it never was. My old eyes see clearly now the world we suffer in is actually horseshit.
