Christianity EtcRe: Alas! The Wall Of Religion Is Falling by wahles(m): 2:14pm On Dec 13, 2016
hopefulLandlord:
religion is not bad...or good for that matter.

Religion is a neutral tool, incapable of being good or bad. It is completely amoral - incapable of knowing or being right or wrong in and of itself.

It is the humans who engage in religion that inform the character of the religion....and that is, unfortunately, mostly "bad"...evil even. Coercion, abuse, hatred(and the creation of the concept of "sin" to displace that hatred onto a silent party)...and all under a false veneer of piety and "love".

Hell, even the "good" done in the name of religion comes with an undertone of hypocritical coercion (ie, we will help you IF you follow us and/or obey our rules) and a lot of self-congratulatory "look at how good WE are" narcissism and arrogance.
Not all that much different from any group of people really...gain power, use power to control others, rinse and repeat etc ad nauseam.

the religious also shield their ideas from every criticism by their feigning persecution

Take a simple criticism like that of prayer:
If you bring it up when people are praying after a tragedy, you'll be written off as insensitive by many.

If you bring it up when people are simply praying to avoid something tragic occurring, you'll get a similar response

If you bring it up when people just make a simple prayer, you're an asshole for criticizing someone who is simply praying and not hurting anyone.

If you bring it up when something actually happens because people tried to depend on the power of prayer, you'll be written off for trying to exploit a tragedy once again, and be reminded that not all prayer ends in harm.

If you simply bring it up on your own, people will complain about why you're bringing it up at all, as religion is not something to be brought up in polite company

If you even tell people you're an atheist at times that's seen as going too far.

So we're frequently in a peculiar situation where you're expected to avoid challenging religion in every circumstance from idle chit chat to directly responding to religious beliefs directly contributing to someone's death. They don't want it brought up over anything trivial; they don't want it brought up over anything serious; they don't want it brought up at all. The idea that the topic is just being avoided during special circumstances is pure fiction. It's just easier for some people to make the complaint during a tragedy or trivial issue then at other times, but it is always being made.

this "shut up and obey" tactics is the issue with religion


I don't agree that religion is going away anytime soon because of the power in indoctrination

its very powerful, too powerful
