    If you distrust someone because of their religious beliefs, you’re probably a bad person.

    Wait… why? Why is it bad to distrust someone who believes in an invisible friend who grants wishes well into their 30s?

      Its worth noting that most of these people were indoctrinated into their beliefs since they were born, and many of them attend church weekly to reaffirm their beliefs. They were raised surrounded by christians, were told christianity is true, and think that if you question god you will be consciously tortured for eternity. They’re not just a bunch of idiots.

        True, if they’re young. At some point you are accountable for the contents of your own brain.

        I’m not saying it’s easy. I’m not saying it’s safe. I am saying the unexamined life is not worth living.

        Are you conflating the stock market with god? The stock market is not a “thing” in the same way that math is not a “thing”. God, or at the very least the christian god, is an actual being that supposedly exists and wants everyone to know it.

        They’re not even remotely similar.

        Edit: also, you know, we can actually interact with the stock market.

          The stock market certainly feels like those archaic gods that demand sacrifices (working people’s sweat and blood) every other day while behaving in “mysterious ways”
