The harm of religion is historically evident whereas the presence or absence of gods is not. Ultimately, the continued existence of religion is predicated on the indoctrination of children and suppression of rational thought. Therefore I am against religion but not necessarily against the idea of gods. For all we know gods are computer scientists and we are in their video game.

nice take really. pray for whomever u want up there, but dont ruin life for the rest of people around u. the religion where i live is like a major hooligan soccer group: the bigger, the merrier, but also more troublesome. the prophet of said religion is a bearded pedophile, for context.
