    I agree. Maybe even worse than the attack on his daughter and family is the lack of response by anyone else.

      I'm an atheist and my theory is that the average person needs some religion like structure in their lives. They need a bit of superstition, belief, group think. We got rid of God and Christianity and now it's all about the woke agenda. I'd rather people go to a moderate church, mosque, synagogue etc. than get stuck into this radical woke bullshit.

      Same here. Now, lately I’ve started praying to God, so I guess this means I’m a Christian again. Probably. But people do need religion. It’s not just about worship, but also about rituals and community. Going to mass or to the mosque or the synagogue is a community event, and also a family occasion. In Christianity, priests and pastors help out families and communities.

      In Czechia, most of the people there are atheist, but they still understand the importance of religion in their lives. Which is why this country is doing very well for themselves.

      Gender has become the new religion to a lot of people without religion

      I have no words to describe this.

      Unfortunately, future people are going to describe this as "the good old days", before everything got so insane.

      I hope future people will refer to this stuff the same way we refer to the lobotomies that were once the medical standard of care.

      The god of the old testament is fucked, and he would have no qualms taking things way too far. Careful what you wish for. Pretty sure Yahweh = Satan.

      The smiting gods of the middle east came about during a period of intense seismic activity in the area. Often people associate these gods with thunderbolts but earthquakes and tsunamis were really more their thing. Indeed when archaeologists dig up cities which were apparently smited they almost always show signs of seismic damage. So the god of the old testament isn't Satan, he's a tectonic fault line.

      The problem is that wokeness has become a religion with a whole set of beliefs that are dogma to the believers.

      I think people have religious impulses built-in, and they will look for something to satisfy those impulses. For example, for a while, I attended a Unitarian Church before I got frustrated with their increasing social justice fixation. One of the key moments was when I saw this white teenage girl breaking into tears about her white privilege in front of a whole group of other all-white people. It was grotesque, but, to her, whiteness had become original sin.

      These people genuinely believe that they are doing the right thing. That's what's so scary about it.

      Not all Christian churches are good. There are some Protestant churches worth looking into, but I’m only familiar with Anglicanism, because they’re the third largest religion in Ireland (after Catholicism and Islam). But I’m sure some of those denominations are pretty based.

      There’s also Christian Orthodoxy.

      i'm an atheist

      doesn't stop you promoting Christianity. I built my faith out of nothing, and it works well.
