Your religion tells you that you're fundamentally ill, flawed in some way, and then provides the 'cure', if you just follow this God's rules.Do you disagree that people are fundamentally flawed, or do you just reject the cure?
No thanks.
What a loaded question. Of course I would never say that humans are perfect. Imperfection is sort of a definition of humanity. I don't consider these imperfections to be a "sickness" that needs a cure. Especially when the cure you're pushing characterizes so many acts and thoughts as sick or immoral when they don't have anything to do with morality (homosexuality, thought crime, etc) while at the same time endorsing things that truly are immoral (slavery, xenophobia, the list goes on). You're starting from such a distorted moral viewpoint, it's disgustingly masochistic when you consider yourself in that way, but looking at other people and projecting your delusions writ large is just hideous. Your snake oil salesman God hasn't even been proven to be possible, and until then whatever claims you want to make about what kind of punishment I deserve simply for being human are unfounded and morally reprehensible.
