      That’s not what I said. I said it makes them “feel” they are a better person. And I said that the Bible has teachings that can form someone into a more moral person and that the Bible is utilized by true Christians as a sort of guide to approaching life rather than taking its word as absolute fact. Much of the Bible is false, but its stories make up a moral compass and a way to live life through its meanings. There are plenty of examples of this.

      Shitting on someone’s beliefs doesnt make one a “better person” but acknowledging that you will never understand it yet supporting their beliefs by not forcing them into your mindset is. People are people and part of humanity is believing whatever you want to believe in. You’re allowed to have differences of opinions and still care.

        Religion is the biggest scam in human history. False hopes and literally stealing $$, eg: tithe.

        People should be warned about it just as vigorously as the scam emails about the Nigerian lottery.
