There will be superstitious nonsense as long as there are people willing to believe in superstitious nonsense. There will be people willing to believe in superstitious nonsense as long as there is something that makes it appealing to do so.
Give me one reason, one reason, why we should tolerate religion in our society?
It's no surprise IMO that capitalism proved more efficient at eroding organized religion than 20th century communist projects. First, it offers an effective and all-encompassing substitute: itself. (.pdf) Second, it doesn't try to combat it directly: the market creeps into religion and takes it over from within. Third, highly specialized modes of autocratic control, self-propelling communicative forms of capitalism took over the authoritative and community-maintaining function of religions.
Really makes u think how one can DEVS VVLT all day on 4pol and they are heroes of civilization but even the most meek criticism of religion is now met with ridicule
This does not put religion in a good light, why not getting rid of one of these things we wrongfully believe in if we can?
what a load of defeatism, of apathy. you sound no better than classcucks saying "hurr durr if you are a socialist why do you use a computer"
indeed. especially since they then continue to criticize islam because it is expansionist.
I find fedoras annyoing as hell, but they are possibly the biggest strawman of the past few years
Exactly what I meant, fedoras may be stupid but neo christcucks that infest internet not only are unbelivably dumb but scream fedora so hard they completely destroyed internet criticism of religion and now if you dont buy into christian or neopagan or asian bullshit (islam bullshit dont count… I wonder why, 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧AHMURAYKKKA🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 ) you are not fashonable
This thing you got going user does sound a lot like a religion, come to think of it. You're going to call for an Atheist Jihad/Crusade against the barbarian believers? Praise our glorious comrades like Lenin? Compulsory reading of anti-religious books? Mass executions of people based on different belief?
What does that remind me of…it's almost like a religion of anti-religion, or belief of disbelief. Ideology so dogmatic it can't see anything else but itself, turned into an effective cult. I assume that our socialist comrades that are religious would get no mercy either.
I can't lie, it'd be fun watching it unfold, since you'd turn 86% of the Earth's population into corpses.
Dumbest thing I've read. If you hate religion and try to ban it you will alienate A LOT of people,believers and atheists alike. You would literally be creating an issue out of thin air.
Public relations.
There is no doubt that a society colaborating their efforts for the common good has no room for gods… BUT religion is an infectious disease currently rooted into the core beliefs of many, otherwise worthwhile people.
Tolerate religion, impose limits to their power outside of the merely spiritual and the hierarchies behind dogma will soon conspire to regain their power. Then, you are executing traitors and cult-leaders abusing the trust of their folk to gain power. No need to make a spectacle of it.No martyrs, no religious prosecution.
Without the machinery of indoctrination fueled by the power to sway the masses religion will either fade or transform into a more acceptable set of beliefs to fit the mold provided.
You're alienating A LOT of people by supporting socialism.
