Religion

Despite being and arrogant dick, he’s right about this.

Religion requires its believers to act in certain ways that are irrational and bad for others, and sometimes for themselves. Some religions require evangelism and forcing others to comply with a religion they abhor. That is unacceptable. So yes, apparently because religious people can’t seem to keep it in their pocket and not poison the lives of others for their imaginary friends, religion should die.

The rest of us are done with bigots who
* Imprison women in their homes and deny them an education and a public life.
* Oppress and murder women because they feel it is their right to deny reproductive control.
* Poison the minds of children by turning schools into religious indoctrination centers.
* Oppress and abuse people whose gender and sexuality do not conform to their ignorant standards.
* Fight religious wars, wiping out hundreds or thousands of people who just want to live without fear of zealots.
* Create massive tax-free scams.
* Urge child abuse because of bizarre beliefs.
* Murder and abuse children in religious “schools.”

It goes on and on. Just about any horror has been, and will be, perpetuated in the name of some imaginary friend who “wants” it done. When people destroy others because they’re listening to “the voices,” we commit them and get them on psychiatric medications. But claim “the voices,” heard or imagined through the words of others, are the standardized “word of god” in a book, and they can get away with anything. It’s time for this garbage to end.
