      How can they respect you if you don’t respect them? Doesn’t make sense. You just have a distorted definition of the word respect. You’re American right?

      EDIT: I heard that religions became much worse recently but PAYING MONEY TO LEAVE? WTF?

        Nah i am German, so imho I have every right to be majorly pissed off by religion being so invasive that they even enforce taxes unless you take your time and fucking pay money to officially leave the church so you don’t have to pay those cults any money anymore

        Organized religion has no respect for anyone, organized religion is the single most horrible thing that ever happened to humanity and organized religion is solely responsible for billions of deaths throughout history, way too many fucking wars and so much blocking of innovation.

        Religion doesnt respect women, lgbtq, mentally disabled, people who don’t want to be indoctrined to follow a cult member and, of course, members of other religions.

        But sure, go ahead and continue that stupid categorized thinking of “I bet you’re american” buddy

          Tempting to say “Amen” to your comment, but let’s say I full agree! What’s more, there’s countless people killing other people in the name of their God (Why can people not agree that there’s just one God, one friendly one, or be free to believe there is none) or being super aggressive and abusive in name of their super special God. Religion has done so much damage for centuries :(

          Idk what in the actual world is the “church” you’re talking about. That is not what I meant by religion. Cults like that are not religions but simply distorted visions that abuse people for varying purposes. Even if they are considered official religions, I don’t approve them

          Sounds not too wrong to me

          EDIT: does someone here actually have a different definition of respect than the one this person sent? I think they need immediate treatment ngl (I mean the one who has a different definition)
