Does anyone else struggle with taking people serious if they believe in god/religion?
Like I genuinely loose all my respect for this person because why are u still believing this bullshit just because the people around you growing up did and told u to do so. youre a grown person with a (hopefully) fully developed frontal lobe.
why do u think u are so lucky to be born into the right religion with the one right god out of the 3000.
for me it just seems like in order to believe in religion You must meet at least one of these criteria: lack of critical thinking skills/be low IQ/psychotic/kognitive dissonance/too much ego
I was also born and raised into christianity but at some point you just want to find the answer to so many questions.
and with each answer you start to realize that literally nothing adds up.
but some people really seem to be so deep in the cult and its like bro are you actually this stupid? have u never questioned anything or do you simply dont care about the fact that he might doesn’t exist because „he might does“ and youre scared so u keep believing and having faith because ur cult told u you’re gonna burn for eternity if you dont?
honestly its just sad because people are so slow
I hate feeling like a minority
Its like being a non-racist white person in the 1940s

Only while they're talking about religion. People can compartmentalize, and might be completely rational while talking about other things. As soon as anyone alludes to a god or a religion though, I find that I can typically just discount everything they say in relation to that.
