But the person was talking about elephants...
Then they're gonna tell me they're not talking about elephants?
Naaah, don't even try to lie to me.
I know exactly what I saw.
Inb4 "talking about people"
No, not strictly, the elephant was a segway.
Edgy fucks.
Elephants are actually very weak for their size they can only lift about 25% of their body weight, but considering how much they weigh that is still a lot.
You really believe religion = indoctrination? Sure religion is easily and often used for it, doesn't mean its the problem with a religion. At least I believe that
I guess, but I believe religion is all about choice and being informed on the consequence. Take it as a threat for action/inaction. You may still choose what to do, but some consequence will be met for your choices.
Unfortunately for religious people, believing something doesn't make it true. Children have no choice in the matter. My little sister was never asked to go to church. She never asked to sing "Jesus Loves Me". And literally millions of other children are exactly the same. Religion isn't a choice. It's a trap waiting to catch children who are pushed into it or adults who have been misled.
They either keep believing what they were told when they were children (Making them still children to me) or they were misled like I said. Them being happy doesn't matter. They can be happy without religion - and likely would be even happier.
It causes others to believe false things. That makes it a negative.
I didn't say that religion didn't make them happy. I only stated that it doesn't matter. https://mettahu.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/asutois.jpg . Whether or not something makes you happy adds nothing to its validity. That same happiness can be gained through any number of activities or groups. My statement that they would likely be even happier is due to them not believing that they are doomed to an eternity of hell and being free to do as they wish without a book trying to control them.
Because it sounds like you're talking about elephants.
