I am a religious man. But not in the traditional sense. I believe the universe and god are one...wallahi
I also believe in the power of self and being the god of your reality.
All religions teach the same teachings and principles using different words and concepts
They aren't contradictory at all, they're all real
this is somewhat true. but there are obviously parts that contradict each other. there's parts of islam that tell you to kill believers of other religions and so fourth. obiviously that doesnt reconcile with other religions

username to post ratio got me SCREECHING
That's beside the point as I was responding to you claiming that religions don't have the same rights as race/nationality/ethnicity....
Furthermore I never said the contrary, just used an easy example
Same could be said for other persecutions of any religious minority residing in a nation with a different religion (ie: Christians in the middle east, Muslims in China etc)
I simply used an example of last century's mass genocide during the the last world War (WW2)
It was a pretty big thing last century and an example that I know anyone can understand without getting too deep into it...
Since you replied with a concern of me "denouncing nations that have Christianity as their backbone" without mentioning other examples of religious minorities being persecuted despite that not being my intention nor the core of my initial argument: I'm just gonna assume that you're not arguing in good faith and will end it right here
Neither of us are tbh and you brought it there first. I genuinely think Abrahamic religions are garbage and while they have brought some great things and can have good values they are outdated and have no place interjecting themselves in the modern world. Look at the southern states with Evangelical s***. Complete trash in a 1st world country and inexcusable. Islam and it's bullshit speaks for itself and Jews are twats usually and holier than thou.
And religions are 99% more harmful to it's followers and cohorts in the western world than they are to other people not of the religion.

How so
But real talk, religion is about following a proper path. Almost any intelligent religious person will tell you it’s more about structuring your life than it is about genuinely believing unproven powerful deities. It’s too deep for me to get into rn but just take a religious philosophy class or watch some YouTube lectures if you actually care.
Speak for yourself what religious person doesn’t believe in God?
Luckily I’m Muslim, so I know aspects of the Judeo-Christian faith are very much real.
I just can’t believe in polytheism or having a visual God you worship though. That means you‘d be able to kill god, which doesn’t make it powerful enough for me to worship.
How so
In the sense that your environment is more volatile to yourself than others. As a white person I'm more likely to die by a white person in the rare instance I'm murdered at all. An aa is more likely to die in the rare instance from another AA than anyone else and so on.
These all just devolve though Into East vs West apples vs oranges etc. I just don't think religion should have a major factor in the modern world.

Read the perennial philosophy
Religious beliefs are irrational and can't be explained.
When you show someone evidence that their religious beliefs are false it doesnt trigger the part of the brain that processes information logically but the part of the brain that reacts to aggression. So give up tbh
What you just typed is complete and utter nonsense
I mean aren't they all kinda the same s***.
Yep theyre all used to control their followers and put them in a box
@trez_la_nadia is being a disingenuous prick right now
He literally said
"woman beating, homophobic, pedophile" referring to a prophet
Him not saying the name isn't important as everyone with half a brain knows that those accusations are often used to slander Islam
So he's already being intellectually dishonest
He then plays the victim by stating that other posters said something to warrant such slander when no one said something vile towards Jesus or Christians as a whole besides one poster who expressed that "Christianity is racist and the Bible is false."
Now if he can provide a name of the prophet he was referring to I'll shut up
But he's mostly likely going to continue gaslighting everyone itt and play the victim when called out for it.
He’s one of the worst posters on this site
Idk if I would say they are contradictory
Christianity, Judaism, and Islam are pretty similar.

How do you think the universe began?
