is there a such thing as healthy religious beliefs
|
If Christians actually followed what Jesus said in the bible, like helping the poor instead of amassing wealth, living in peace, and forgiving people, and loving everyone as they love themselves, that would be healthy and I'd have more respect for Christianity. Unfortunately all that often gets swept aside in favor of greed, bigotry, and intolerance.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

Such an idealized version of christianity would not be very healthy for its own followers. It would contribut much to their being massacred, enslaved, or forceably converted, by the historic version of christainity, unless the idealized version were to make a mockery of itself by forcebly suppressing the rise of the many possible equivalents of the historic version of christianity. What seems good is not good if it does not help itself prosper in the real world.
I think it's healthy to not have any religious beliefs. Does that count?
That's MISTER Godless Vegetarian Tree Hugging Hippie Liberal to you.
Tell me what is religious belief first then I tell you.
Depends what you mean by healthy. Personally I don't think believing in things without evidence is a particularly clever thing to do. Does that make it unhealthy? I don't know.
Also depends a lot on beliefs. Is it healthy to throw babies in the fire?
