Rule of law is obviously sympathetic to Hamas.

    I think wildly different. Getting rid of religion would mean people wouldn’t be getting primed when they were young to believe in stupid spirits and magical fucking thinking. Also the concentration of power in any power structure is just fucked it’s always going to invite unsavory characters

      You think that preventing exposure to problematic concept prevents infection. you’re right, in the short term. But in the long term, you destroy collective immunity to the concept.

      Let it live, fight it when you have to, but don’t think you can eradicate it. It’s to be learned from, not simply destroyed. Otherwise, the experience is wasted, only to be repeated by the next generation.

      A) yeah bro, without religion kids would engage in far less magical thinking.

      B) then your problem is power structures, not religion.

      You’re literally doing magical thinking. You think turning off a faucet will stop your house from flooding. You’re the guy that shills for electric cars when our roads are made from oil. Religion literally is your Devil. I promise you, people never needed religion to be shitty, and we have a million justifications if it somehow falls.
