i'm so glad i gave up christianity. i might be a little less glad when i get purged, but at least i won't be doing the purging. jesus of nazareth has some chill teachings, but the whole thing is poisoned by the actual history of the religion. genocide, book burnings, and ethnic cleansing are not exactly noble teachings.
@cuaxolotl I agree religion in and of itself is about as bad as politics in my view.

@prologic both religion and politics encompass an extremely wide spectrum of ideas and behavior. we need to be specific in making a critique, otherwise it doesn't deepen our understanding of the world. though i agree that the status quo political and religious landscape is awful due to the historical context i'm talking about upthread.

@cuaxolotl OK fine to be more specific. The problem I have with both religion and politics is they both often influence people or groups of people to either extremes.

@prologic that's still a generalization. which religion, which historical trends, which extremes, &c. otherwise you aren't actually saying anything about religion, you're expressing disapproval of extremes. which is valid, but doesn't make for a substantial critique, if that makes sense.

@cuaxolotl Okay you are right. I'm not being very specific, but intentionally very broad and my statement is generalized that's true. There are so many examples and issues to talk about, if we did, we'd be here a while 😅 Let's just agree that we both agree on extremism not really being a good thing and leave it at that 🤣

@prologic history is a broad subject! i think you could spend your whole life studying and discussing only the last 500 years. i've spent many nights sharing drinks and discussing the finer points of political history and theory with my uni buddies. i doubt that'll ever get old ^^
