I’m anti-anything religion.
That's definitely not something to be proud of...
Sure it is. The only real function of religion is to control people that are afraid of death. Religion has caused numerous misguided wars. If it didn't cause the wars directly, it was used by leaders to send people to their deaths willingly... In the name of a god..
Religion dictates how people should live, eat, spend their free time and how to spend their money. It also can dictate their sex life and what is the proper way to get off. For some reason, it also can promote genital mutilation.
Religion is one of the primary causes of the feelings of male superiority and also female slavery. It is used to control people for political and financial gain. Mostly financial gain.
Churches around the world hold billions of dollars, but yet, they demand that their followers take care of the poor so the church money can stay in the stock markets.
If there is a god, it is pure evil. Stephen Fry summarizes it best: https://youtu.be/-suvkwNYSQo?si=1TuSA6f7O7WA8i3p
These ancient story books can all burn, for all I care.
Congratulations, you just summarized Gnosticism and you have religious beliefs.
The thing is, everyone have one, you could be worshiping money, yourself, a person, science, a political party or whatever.
Just stop believing that you are superior because others know what god they serve and you don't.
No, no religion here. I think you have also misunderstood gnosticism by definition and I absolutely do not believe in any kind of higher or lower power. Life is. That is it.
I went through the "higher power" train of thought for a long time, and no. I don't have one of those as you describe. I exist just the same as everyone and everything around me and that is all.
No, everyone doesn't have a god. Who the hell put that crap in your mind as it simply is not true. You can believe it if you want, but whatever.
There is no superiority complex here and there is no god. I am alive and that is it. There is no subservience to any of the thousands of deities that have been dreamed up by man over the last few thousands years.
Like I said, if there is a god, it is the most pure form of evil you could dream of. I want no part of that.
