Religion is the most destructive force on the planet mostly because the followers are easily fooled.
Idk, if it wasn’t religion it’d be something else. Religion is a great tool to control populations, but it’s just one of many. Most human conflicts have a materialistic basis to them and things like religion or nationality are just used as window dressing.
I’d say the most destructive force on the planet is usually just rich/powerful dudes beefing over turf.
It’s not religion that caused the two dealiest wars in human history. Human greed and resource control is the biggest problem.
Bunch a gullible propaganda whores. Religion is about control akin to politics
Religion was the original politics. Two sides of the same fucking control coin.
I see another Lemmy atheist not realizing Zionism is an aggressively atheist ideology built on enlightenment ideas of nationality at the explicit ezpense of Judaism. What religion did Ben Gurion believe in again?
Why do we think the comment was about Israeli religion?
Those people were incarcerated by Iran, which is a theocracy, due to religious beliefs about LGBTQ people.
Why do we think the comment was about Israeli religion?
Because this is a point Lemmy atheists like to make, and because most people wouldn’t describe imprisonment as “destructive” unprompted so it’s clear they were referring to Israel.
Imprisoning people over their sexually is destructive to society. Let’s hear from the commenter before speculating further.
Fuck off, imprisonment for being trans is destructive and outright evil, so is bombing prisoners.
I said “unprompted” for a reason.
Your comments were unprompted. The world would be better without them. Fuck religion, ALL religion. Judaism included.
Your comments were unprompted
Huh? I am literally responding to a point made in the parent comment. What the fuck are you even talking about?
as a gay man, i and plenty of other queers talk about religion as “destructive”. its a common part of the vernacular, and you wouldn’t be quibbling over the language if you saw and understood how destructive religion is to both queer communities and queer lives
That has literally nothing to do with what I’m talking about. I’m responding to the common idea that religion is somehow a significant motivator for Zionist atrocities, not commenting on the impact of religion in general. Then I explained why I thought that was the (or at least a) point made in the parent comment.
Also the urss was atheist
Killing the real opposition of the regime and support the fake one leaving good lives in western countries
So what you’re telling me is that Israel has killed dozens of trans people? Western propaganda would have had me believe that they were some mecca of LGBTQ tolerance.
What was the alleged “military value” of bombing a prison?
