I hear you, but hey, so has a functioning democracy, but nobody sane is calling for giving up on that one. :)
They have zero original thoughts. Their very identity relies on violently stealing and perverting the institutions of the people to serve their own ends.
They need to be held accountable for their villainy and have that identity wrestled back from them. The more they’re called out, ridiculed, and ostracized for being so freaking weird, the more they’re called out by believers for being evil, the less sway they’ll have.
I think a lot of the sway the right currently holds among that population is entirely due to how the left just went “Peh, religion stoopid” and gave up on all of them. The fascists figured out what buttons to push, and dug them in deeper.
(Definitely check out: “How the Rich Ate Christianity” parts 1 and 2 from “Behind the Bastards”.)
No I get how you mean, I just think it’s not even possible to convince MAGAts that trump is a demented rapist when it’s right in front of them - how to, if you’ll pardon the expression, resurrect Christianity as it was “meant” to be with them? I just can’t see it.
Religion, in general, is arguably the root cause of the most death, despair and human suffering in the history of our species. It’s even partly responsible for this current administration gaining power and definitely a supporting catalyst for project 2025…
So I can’t really read your post and not eye roll. There is no peace with religion existing outside of theory.
Are most religions good in a vacuum? Where their doctrine is followed and purely extrapolated to modern society and issues? Sure. But this doesn’t mean shit in practice. Religions cannot exist peacefully side-by-side as history has painfully demonstrated… When you boil it all down, it’s purely a tool to manipulate the participants into aiding ulterior motives of others.
We would be better off as a species if religion was eradicated and otherwise treated like the human disease it is.
Yeah I think that horse has left the barn.
