Exactly!! Religion is a MLM scam for the ignorant!! There is no god! Period!!! And I always end it with "Prove me wrong" and I get blocked 🤣🤣

Literally asked a rabi how he knew "God" exists and he replied "how do you know he doesn't?" I swear they are braindead and afraid. They need someone to tell them what to do, feel, think, and believe. Not a shred of free will. It's so idiotic.

It's only recently that Jewish seminaries have started recognizing that it might be worth a lot to teach something about pastoral care in addition to Torah, Mechilta, and Talmud. So some rabbis are the modern Sadducees, and I really do try to stay away from Sadducees.

Most of what you said made no sense to me because I don't know what pastoral care entails nor what sadducees are. But this convo with a rabi was about 20 years ago so not sure if what you said qualifies.

Pastoral care involves nourishing the spirit of those who come, not telling them what tradition or ritual or the text says. Sadducees were the opponents of the Pharisees in the Temple in Jesus' day. Everything the Sadducees believed have been mistakenly attributed to the Pharisees by

This is another reason why I stay away from religion. None of this shit makes sense or works and it's far too ridiculous for me to understand, like, or care about. 😵💫

Living the lives we want to live is important. I just hope that more people will want to make the world a better place for everyone and every living thing on the planet for having lived in it, and that seems a very unpopular attitude for all too many these days.

Yes, they are selfish, ignorant, and horribly indoctrinated to believe very stupid things. I hope there is some problem solving skills in their heads but I have yet to see it and I am losing hope. The human race is a fucking disaster.

The disasters get all the headlines, but there are lots of good people out there. The problem may well be that those with less are generally kinder than the wealthy. A friend told me yesterday that she had pulled into a rest area so her dog could pee, and there was

In general, proof can be antithetical to belief, kind of like how perfection is the enemy of good.

That is one of the most meaningless platitudes I've ever heard. Right up there with, "it is what it is."

Not to be too calloused, practically speaking that is exactly what it has been. Kind of tired of the same playbook.

The way it is for you. You are unique. So forgive me for thinking that you have a unique way to be who you are. Another old Jewish story (of course) is about Rabbi Zusya, who was asked if he was worried that when he died, God would ask him why he was not Moses." He said, "No,

I am worried that God will ask me why I was not Zusya." Anthony de Mello wrote that "the shortest distance between a human being and truth is story." Telling and listening to stories brings me great joy.

That reads like LLM nonsense. We’re not talking about using fiction to reveal a greater truth about human nature. We’re literally talking about people who claim there’s some man who sent his son… who was also him, to earth and then let him die because another imaginary woman disobeyed him.

Most religious people insist you cannot be good unless you follow their god. Paving the way in their minds to make it okay to kill you. Just waiting for someone to push them down that path.

Religious people might, but spiritual people never would. I truly believe that anyone who thinks their religion is the only way there is, has no idea what nourishing a soul feels like. Everyone's way is unique to them, the only way for each of them.

Spiritual people are the reeds in which the crazy religious people hide in. Passive camo from which the religious will use to shelter from criticism while the Reeds elect them into office, then step passively asside as they come for our throats.

I'm so sorry you seem to have had the kinds of experiences that caused you to feel that way. My stepmother's family died in Auschwitz, and for me, the spiritual people were the ones like Miep Gies, Princess Alice, and the others who could only save a few, but did not step aside.

What kind of experiences do you think would drive one to feel this way? Listening to the 'Spiritual' wave away women's rape and child mutilation because everyone is a sinner? Because it's not that bad?

I've listened to people, NICE PEOPLE, talk about their faith generally and wouldn't mind sitting down and having a drink with them. But they casually switch into horrors as soon as you press the specifics of their beliefs. Every smile at a church hides a potential -MONSTER-

There are religions that believe their deity demands, and feel the need to make everyone bow the head to those demands. Then there are religions who believe their deit(y/ies) *offer(s)* and don't mind if the offer is refused. I'm sorry you have only encountered the people who
