  • Said this several times now but it’s not like he literally believes in a human form that created the universe. It’s just he believes that it was created my something and not just random.

    I’ve never met any religious people forcing their ideology on me, perhaps that an American thing. On the whole I’ve had nothing but positive interactions with religious folk and they support local communities and historically are involved in a lot more charitable work than the average person.

    I have a suspicion that your view of religion is shaped by your experience online as it was for me, but if you actually take the time to engage with these people IRL they’re just people and I will never level all of any group as X as that’s fucking stupid.








  • As a non religious person I take issue with comments like these, it’s as though you believe that for someone to have a faith that they must be stupid, and if that’s the case then I have a bridge to sell to you for the low low price which matches the number of brain cells you have.

    My manager is religious and quite possibly one of the smartest people I’ve even met, he’s also the owner of our software consultancy and the lead engineer that has contributed massively to open source projects.

    I’m not going to pretend to understand why he is religious or whether I agree but all I can say is never met someone as smart as him and he is really nice. We recently got pay rises and a reduction in hours. He spends loads of free time helping his parishioners and doing community work and just generally a nice man.

    I am offended on behalf of him for your reductive view.
