Do people hate the actual belief in God, or just the religious organizations?

[purplepurpose]

Religions core msg is "Your here not to enjoy life, but to work/suffer a bit to give up your resources for the common good, otherwise God might have to torture you". Religion by definition is a big letdown. No wonder it gets deserved dislikes.

its okay to disagree, but theres good evidence to support it.

I'm going to regret asking but.... like what?

[abaris]

For most people, what they hate is being judged.

By whom exactly?

What has knowledge gotten us exactly, besides more efficient ways to kill each other.

Which is more desirable, to live in accordance with nature as aincient Native Americans once did? Or this modern society? Personally I'd take the former.

And you have an option of doing that.
Yet you're on a high-tech device using a high-tech communications protocol to tell others you'd rather not be using this high-tech device and high-tech communications protocol.

Touche'.

I have the option of going back in time?

[Jesster]

Sure. Move in with the Amish.

Just speaking for myself, Hugs, I'll take indoor plumbing, antibiotics, central HVAC, cars, and the internet over sleeping in the dirt and having to hunt buffalo every damn day.

Lol... Are you dumb? (he asked knowingly...) So many things, it's impossible to count.

Medicine and vaccines. Protection from wild animals, cold and darkness. Effective ways of feeding people, without everyone picking berries, or driving thousands of buffaloes over cliffs (because that's how Native Americans hunted, before white man brought horses and guns to the continent). Ability to predict weather patterns as well as geological events, like earthquakes. Solutions to overpopulation, like contraception.
Higher standards of ethics (that's right, f*cknut - for example we now know that stoning your children for disobedience, or torturing heretics is not a normal thing to do - something your beloved barbarians had no idea about). Advanced social institutions. Democracy. Education. Human rights. Ecology. "Green" energy. Etc...

Yeah - and die of smallpox, a common infection, or gum disease at 40. Or watch at least half your children die during, or shortly after birth. You're an ungrateful dipsh*t, who can't even realize how good he has it. I'll bet you've never even seen nature. Go - live in a forest, with your entire family of morons, I f*cking dare you, you fat, soft tw*t. See what that gets you...
