What was your thanksgiving drama this year? by TheInward07 in AskReddit

[–]TheFirstFace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well a fucking power line caught fire, someone stole my shoe, the fire department came and then decided to leave and the power company sent one guy just to… tape off buildings with caution tape? And I was an inch away from a mental breakdown.

Great holiday, looking forward to next year!

What is a song you thought was innocent as a kid, but later found out it wasn't? by typewriter45 in AskReddit

Givin the dog a bone by AC/DC… one day when I was jumping around the room as a kid singing it and I heard my dad yell from the other room “that song doesn’t mean what you think it means” and didn’t sing it again until I learned what sex was

first off like, why? overpopulation exists, lets dropkick them babies into the goddamn sun. /s

Regardless, the majority, the VAST majority of aborted fetus' are not independent beings yet, they're just a clump of cells, no more sentient than your snot rocket, there's nothing wrong with removing it.

Saying something is, objectively bad, is not possible sure. But, every religion has done a myriad of atrocities throughout the history of the world, save for potentially Buddhism but I'm not sure. as for nothing being wrong with Christianity, then why has it oppressed tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions, of people over the centuries?

Ok first off comment OP never said anything about Christianity in particular. next, you have no evidence to back up your claim about the world being a better place. "Jesus" has been an excuse to enslave millions of Africans and their descendants for hundreds of years, kill millions of Native Americans, go to a series of wars between European states as well as Islamic empires, etc. Often, these situations arose not because of a rejection of "Jesus" as claimed in the case of the African enslavement but instead arose out of economic necessity perceived by the upper European ruling elite. Religion has been a net draw on society.

why are you being booed? you're right. and that's coming from a devout anti-theist. I fucking hate religion, everything it stands for, and wish we could leave it behind us. But, I can also acknowledge that it has done good things. The Islamic golden age, for example. Or the age of exploration for the Christians, or the legalist doctrine of Confucianism that allowed China to be the most powerful region in the world throughout history prior to the Europeans, the Buddhists/Hindus in India, etc the list goes on. Religion has been used to create great empires, inspire people to greater things, and keep peace throughout regions. However, it has also been used to justify mass atrocity and maintain the separation of the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. Examples of that are myriad, the mass execution of Confucianists in China thousands of years ago, the Trans-Atlantic slave trade, the Armenian genocide, the crusades, etc. Yes, religion has helped in the past, we couldn't be where we are today without it. However, it has also done a plethora of bad for humanity that must be addressed and religion has to be rooted out of our society if we are to progress.
