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@sunshinegardens.org I agree religion in and of itself is about as bad as politics in my view.

@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org 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.

@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org 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 🤣
