Watching my cat, thinking about god and human nature

[Astonished]

The first sentence is a compound sentence but still a question. Perhaps you require it to be dumbed-down somewhat.

That would be awesome. Break it down for me because what I read seemed to be a proposal for a question that you didn't have the ballsack to follow through on actually asking.

Maybe I read it wrong. I'm majoring in physics, not English. Go ahead and break it down for me.

Physics isn't my cup of tea. Doesn't make sense to me having to memorize how to apply different formulas to every slight variation of every conceivable situation but I still have to take a second semester of it for my chem major. Chem is much more fixed when it comes to that kind of thing. Organic's a bitch though. Too similar to Bio which is even worse.

The question is, since you are honest enough to acknowledge that it's not necessary to adopt a tradition of faith in order to live a life of the same sort of standard you seem to enjoy, why be okay with living a lifestyle of the religious sort (not necessarily your own, or your particular flavor) when the flaws that come with it are causing others misery on a daily basis? It just seems like lending credibility to faith, any faith, whether intentional or not (i.e. practicing vs. cultural), helps strengthe its stranglehold over others and propagates the insanity that results. More voices proudly proclaiming to reject all of it would logically be the more appropriate response if one had the choice in the matter, I would think. So given that you should be able to live life without losing anything so meaningful as to make you incapable of making the previous admission, I don't see why the leap couldn't be made. I don't know whether you were already on the path to abandoning it or planning on transmitting it to the generation that follows but I would hope this possibility at least crossed your mind.
