Less a necessarily bad person, and more an ideologically influenced one, I’d wager.

What does ‘bad person’ even mean?

he asked rhetorically

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 heard from someone who uses a shit ton of tabs in Chrome which Firefox doesn’t do as well apparently. But I’ve been a FF guy for as long as it’s been around and i hate open trans so

Yeah, it’s been a few months now and i have been forgetting all about the reddit drama. I was here because i hated reddit at first, but now im here because i like ur, not to prove a point .

reddit has become a place i hit up when Google search leads me to an answer, like Wikipedia or something. I get it and I’m gone.

Sorry Reddit, it’s over babe! It’s not you, it’s me! (it’s you)

…yeah, about what i thought. sigh

Quick everyone, hide your ID badges!

I think its probably the fact that there is a type of person you’re used to arguing with that makes your type so angry when you decide to visit.

To protect your ego, you have unconsciously going into and starting arguments with people you consider inferior. Perhaps with this habit over time you made the common mistake of conflating your choice of hanging around ignorance as evidence that you are smarter than your average person.

Am i close? Should i keep going?

Your average comment is snark, yes? Do you go into deep conversations online? Do you know history beyond what you learned in school? Do you daily seek out knowledge?

If the answer to these questions is yes, no, no, no as i suspect (don’t answer me, answer them to yourself online arguments are stupid and useless) then do better, ok? The world needs people to try. They don’t need more of the you you just displayed.

Welp, Paris is off the bucket list
