        Man, I have religious people in my family that say “you can’t eat meat on Fridays” during lent. But then fish is 100% okay to them. Makes no sense to me.

          Why do you have contact with such …things? How could you take a human being somehow serious if it says things like that, especially due to being brainwashed in a fucking sect?! We don’t seem to have a collective tolerance to nazis or pedos, why do we have it for religious nutjubs?

            A lot of religious people aren’t inherently dangerous, whereas an active nazi or pedo is likely going to end up hurting someone.

            Not that I overly disagree, fuck religion.

              Sure, not every nutjob is a danger in itself. But it’s still a cog in the machinery of a retrograde force. A +1 that helps normalizing what should be shunned. But yes, fuck religion. If people wanna believe stuff, great. The universe is a mystery. But the moment they gather and start having to believe what the cult-douche says, shit gets dangerous.

        Ever since a chicken killed my pet hamster, my name has been vengeance and Popeyes has been my hunting grounds.
