And the TST is also a religion.

Anyway, your 'they're all bullshit' comment makes it clear you didn't join this thread to have a good faith discussion, but rather to shit on views different from your own.

So, I'll leave you to it. Enjoy.

That's rather simplistic and dismissive.

I would love it if there was some kind of unifying force to make the world better.

Religion does not seem to be it though.

Religion/Community. In a brighter world those words would be interchangeable.

I am an atheist at heart, but you still have to acknowledge that the core values of a lot of religions are for the betterment of others.

People don't seem to be capable of being uncorruptable. You can have a perfect religion, or one that only adheres to goodness (like tst) and it will be PEOPLE who abuse it. Not the religion itself, just people cherry picking what they want.

It could be laws, it could be a cult, it could be a religion, it could be a government. Some people just fucking suck, end of story.

That's a lot of projection. You just dismissed all religion as bullshit, which is simplistic and dismissive.

I said, welp, you don't seem to be acting in good faith, so I'm not going to keep playing.

Then, you project?

We can try again, but not until you reread your comments and understand why I stopped engaging.
