Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

It took me longer than I'd like to admit to realize it was total bullshit and start to really understand evolution. it also stunted my development of critical thinking skills. I love science and the natural world so much, I still don't know if I can forgive my folks for doing that.

Shoutout to AromRa on YouTube for his creationism/evolution videos.

it frustrates me so much when people try to pretend that Christianity isn't inherently bigoted and homophobic

Extremely relatable, also had this kind of home school classes. The average person who just likes the selected pieces of Jesus's dialogue they've heard doesn't grasp how shitty the Abrahamic religions are in the source material. I have more leeway with the people who just never cared and think of themselves as part of a religion because that's how they were raised, IDK how a person exists like that but it seems to be the majority.
Anyone who converts to a monotheism as an adult is a major major red flag, though. 'Returning' to the religion you were raised creates the worst people. Adult converts to a different flavour of your original religion, like protestant to orthodox, are the weirdest people. All of them are taking fundamentally anti-materialist views on the world as well as choosing to ignore the racism, sexism, homophobia, genocide, etc.
