Violence, drug use, nudity exist, unlike your magic man in the sky.
Of course some will argue this, but it’s a belief at best.
And no you have no right to ask me to cater to your beliefs.
All these religions have their quirks and things not to do.
Can’t drink alcohol, can’t do shit on Saturday, wear this or that only for this occasion, can’t open a jar of pickles on your toilet, etc…
If someone from their own cult doesn’t do this, or say something about them, they can complain to them.
For the rest of the world it doesn’t exist and don’t need to be bothered with it.
Religions and cults imposing their ways on non-believers are a known part of history.
They have literally killed for it.
It is a matter of principle to not give in to any infringements of personal freedom.
No matter how little effort it would take.
I don’t care if that upsets you.
the majority of the world is unfortunately.
But “you have to bend because there’s more of us” is not an argument.
It is obnoxious at best if not threatening.
It’s a small step from “don’t say something bad about our invention you have nothing to do with” towards “follow these rules of our invention you have nothing to do with”
I find arguments like this a bit silly. I believe that religion has to be confined to personal life, and religious harm has to be reduced through a socialist government, but religious people killing others is an idealist argument. Religious people didn’t just kill because of ideals, but rather because of the material reality that gave rise to their religion. I personally believe that religion, like the state, might wither away through socialism, but just like the state, it’s about handling class contradictions and engaging through a historical and materialist lens, else we’re just being idealistic ourselves. Not only that, but practically speaking many of our comrades are religious, as long as they agree with us on examining society through diamat and commit to reducing religious harm, I don’t care if they pray or not. Let their religious views inspire them towards positive change, and influence their own religious communities through organizing.
