the very fact that we can talk about this issue with religion AND with hollywood or whatever is the exact reason i was trying to raise as a progress, its funny, because ive actually worked in ‘hollywood’ literally. I know they are abusers there too. but they aren’t going on ‘missions’ like mormons or ‘crusades’ like the christians in the past. they arent putting up religious ethno-states like israel. Theres literally no comparison between religion and hollywood, im sorry. its just ridiculous. and for someone who seems so intelligent its weird you would make this comparison.

my parents were very religious when I was growing up, and certainly that left a bad taste growing up but I acknowledge that there are wonderful people I know of faith. thats all. but ultimately this world would be better off without it. Look at global warming deniers? (god knows best) look at the priesthood who abuse children and get off scott free? the literal state of Israel who is conducting a genocide? I dont hate religion, it hates us, is my point.
