-and a degenerate, yes, already established...?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

God doesn't do anything for you. Cut the shit. Not a single answered prayer in your entire life. I know you're not fucking crazy.

Can you at least appreciate the efficacy of prayer on a psychological level, even though it might not have a supernatural element?

How can something be a utopia if people are judged in it?

Judging is for people who do crime and utopia is a place where there is no crime.

Judging people "by the content of their personality" seems like a dystopia.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Earthly life under the rule of god is such a dystopia that the utopian heaven had to be created for compensation.

You're kidding right? Social media sucks. Far from utopia.

You know, given how much Twitter is a wretched hive of scum and villainy that has contributed to eroding nuance in discourse and facilitating hate mobs, not to mention how much disinformation gets spread on Facebook (from COVID denialism and anti-vaxxer shit all the way up to inciting an actual genocide), you actually have a point for once.

All you're telling me is that you've never had a single prayer answered in your life.

Wait. What is "in the spiritual sense?" What the fuck does that even mean?
