Religion is man’s attempt to outsource meaning and morals. You can determine your own morals and meaning for yourself. Historically, most people choose religions to do that for them. I’m using the word choose loosely because most people don’t choose religion. They’re born into it and brainwashed as children.

But the ultimate problem in this discussion is that you have to choose the right religion. If you pick the wrong religion, you go to hell. That’s the problem. That’s why it doesn’t make sense. That’s why I asked about worship. Does it really fucking matter if the person was good but worshipped the wrong god? Or didn’t worship at all. A person who has done more good in this world than a Christian will end up in hell simply because he worshipped Buddha or shiva. How is that right?

It is that also, yes. Nothing is absolute across all people. You go to hell, or you just die and there’s nothing after, or you die and come back as a squirrel, or you die and feed a tree and become part of the collective consciousness. I don’t think it is right. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if Christ only actually said love thy neighbors as thyself and the pharisees who wrote that were like “We’re gonna make SOOOOO much money if loving God is even more important than that, and tithing is part of the ritual.”

“Oh shit yeah! Write that down!"

This is a good point that raises another important question. Why would god give us something that is so easily corruptible like religion? And then he’s just like yeah figure it out yourselves or go to hell. Makes no sense.
