Religious people should be locked up in asylums
Evangelicals should be locked up in asylums. Nothing wrong with being religious if you interpret that by living your best life and helping people.
“Nothing wrong with being religious as long as it doesn’t impact your life”
Isn’t a good excuse
That... isn't what they said
Is “if you’re a good person regardless and ignore the parts I don’t like”
The person who would do that, would do that without religion
Yeah you're still missing the point
And if that person finds motivation in the possiblilty of something after death, and that brings a light to their life that they would otherwise succumb to existential dread over? Then they deserve to burn?
Lol, if they require some promise of reward to behave then they aren’t a good person
That's not at all what I said. For some people, the thought of oblivion leads to existential dread. It's a belief in something more that keeps them going.
Are you saying that not being able to handle that makes you a bad person?
Sounds pretty childish
The sooner they learn to confront reality the sooner they can work on making their reality better
Seems you are depicting religion as a cause for a lack of motivation “nothing matters anyway because things will be better when I’m dead”
Ok, so the bad person here is you. Got it.
Think what you want
Your position in this argument sounds more like religion hurt you and you're lashing out than anything else.
If you can't morally allow religion to represent something positive for people, the problem is you, not religion.
Although I'm not religious myself, I'm capable of seeing how it affects positive change in some people. Deciding for them that they are childish/evil/stupid/whatever because you don't agree with their mode of motivation is frankly a lot more childish and petty than you're trying to paint them.
Anyway, thanks for showing us that you aren't a good person. It literally doesn't matter what you think about the subject.
