I could not agree more… Religion get you nothing. Jesus gives you everything!

I view faith as independent of any of the organized religions.
I think it more important than people understand:
1. We are in control of our destinies and responsible for our own happiness.
2. This is a benevolent universe that tends toward good things.
3. Our goal is to make ourselves and our civilizations sane and good.
That's really the core of it.

I think this misses the point:
Value those who are useful.
Those who are impediments, remove.

Yes, you can say it, but you offered an illegal contract, so there are consequences.
I am in favor of legalizing drunk driving.

People do not realize that their feelgood acts of charity result in higher crimes.
The voters need kings because the voters are retarded.

I see it as a loss of unity because what is supposed to unite us has become anti-realistic.
But yeah, it's alienating.

True. I grew up without television or many movies, and have kept that mostly as an adult.
Children's television always terrified me too. It's a retarder.

Until I read "Phaedo" and the apology more closely, the origins of Christianity were a mystery to me.
The Old Testament is very Tolkien, and that makes it fun to me, even if it's full of gore like an early death metal album.

I always think of the Old Testament as the "fun" part of the Bible.
Good point. Enslavement has rarely worked out well for either slaves or masters, in my reading of broad history.

Agreed with the third paragraph. I think we cannot separate it from its Jewish roots either, and the Jews were a population wracked by race-mixing and war.
I would identify myself as someone with strong faith, although not in any particular religion.
However, part of that faith is monism: this world is important, no one is coming to save us, and we are in control ("free will" or at least choice) and we have to fix it.
Anyone who does not accept that second paragraph is heading toward schizophrenia at worst or Faux News style cope at best.

Just abolish it.
In a pluralistic society, no single standard will work for everyone, and it is tyranny to force them all to pay for it.
