religion rant
The story
DISCLAIMER: THESE ARE OPINIONS THAT ARE HEAVILY CONTRAVERSIAL, AND IF YOU ARE CHRISTIAN/CATHOLIC, I AM NOT SHAMING YOU IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM.
religion is bullshit to me. it is just propaganda that men use to control women/slaves. for example, when the triangular trade was happening(slave trade) captains often recited the bible to the point that they made the slaves believe that if they disobeyed their master, they disobeyed god. it is a sick use of beliefs. also, the bible also have concerning and barbaric stories. why the fuck was it allowed that women are objects of rape.
the priests and people i know say they are Christian but their actions contradict them daily. not reading bibles, cursing, swearing on god's name, you know. furthermore, priests only visit the good parts of the bible, conveniently not looking at the bad parts.
another thing, in the bible, how the fuck did Adam and Eve make everyone. 1, that's heavy incest. 2, there are such a large gene pool, it is impossible to come from 2 people. back to the first point, incest is proven that is doesn't work because the Habsburg dynasty proved to be a horrible set. they had been inbreeding for 200 years, and all suffered intellectual and physical disabilitie-btw the Habsburg dynasty is super fascinating to me.
ALSO!! Evolution. i can prove evolution off of many things, but let me start here. humans have tailbones for a reason. THERE USED TO BE A TAIL. BECAYSE WE EVOLVED FROM APES. not because a pair of people magically spawned.
thanks for reading. just to reiterate, i have nothing against christians, love yall so much, but it just doesnt make sense to me, and i needed somewhere to not be immediately judged w/o hearing me out. LOVE YALLLL!!

sounds like you've got some strong opinions there, cara. while i get where you're coming from with examples of religion being used to manipulate, there's a lot of depth and historical context that gets missed when we just focus on the negatives. sure, evolution makes sense from a scientific perspective, but for many people, faith is more about personal meaning than historical accuracy. not all religious folks fit the stereotypes you mentioned; it's often a case of "do unto others" over dogma in practice. ✌️
