It’s pretty self explanatory. Religion provides structure, rules, and models to follow. Not sure how that is a bad thing.

Why is it that people can't do that on their own. JC

That’s good for people who thrive on structure (some don’t) *if* it’s done in a supportive, rather than threatening or power-hungry, sort of way. Too often, the model provided by religion is more judgmental and rigid than encouraging and helpful.

All humans thrive under structure. Doesn’t have to be religious. But we are biologically driven by structure. There can be too much structure. But just like in all aspects of life too much of anything is generally no good. All societies will always have bad actors, including religious societies.

You live in a country that has laws, eating habits, education, work, sleeping habits, etc are all forms structure. Just b/c you don’t think you need it, doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist. Some people need more others don’t. There are plenty of different forms of structure, some good some bad.

None of that means that structure imposed by religion is necessarily- indeed ever - good.

Hence is why I said “doesn’t have to be religious.” Structure imposed by religion is can be good and vice versa. It depends on what kind of structure is being imposed. And Just because you disagree with it doesn’t mean your opinion is right or wrong.

What happened to free will? Please stop that nonsense.

You remind me of a teenage high schooler who simply disagrees just to disagree. Who probably thinks that women are naturally as physically strong as men. If you can’t understand the difference between structure and free will then just stop trying to disagree

Wow, you’re taking narcissistic approach and cherry picking a story to justify your own bias. Classic approach for a rebel. Im not even a religious man but I see the good it can do.

And yes, do a little research on the NIH website. They’ve been publishing studies for decades about the importance of structure in kids lives (e.g. single parent vs two parent households). But youre not here with an open mind so I won’t bother.

You still rambling on? Go to the wanted sfs and find a friend. There are more important issues than your amateur psychology babble. Move along .

1. For some people, a little structure goes along way. For others a lot works better. 2. The failings of religion are common enough in all religions over time that you can’t just wave it away as a few bad actors. Right now in a lot of countries, the bad actors outnumbered the good ones.

#2 is kind of correct. But think in the context of those acting on behalf of their religion and those who are simply bad actors. Are the religious teachings bad or are the people bad? I

Every religion basically suppresses women. I'll pass on that. My man saw me as equal and we were both Catholic at one time. We both had our reasons. I fell out of just believing there's an actual entity. Leaned towards evolution, and John has never said why, and I never asked. And I won't.
