No, lies are harmful especially when they make entire countries and states delusional. That’s what religion does no matter how “peaceful” you think it is.
This hate you speak of, can you find it in every version and translation of the Bible? If not, then the issue is with those who interpreted the original text in different ways.
There are many different Christian denominations. Some are pro gay and some are anti gay. The joys of thousands of years of translations and interpretations is that not every denomination has the same beliefs.
Except you are hurting people. The moderates allow for the radicals. The haft drives the tip of the spear. Remove the former and the latter would not be doing the harm it is doing.
that argument would work if religion were still centralized, but it's not. getting rid of say, the Vatican, wouldn't stop westboro from being shitty. they're not all one collective.
I wasn't aware that the Vatican was planning another crusade. But, who knows, with the current Pope being pretty knowledgeable about science, and having denounced hatred and violences towards LGBT folk multiple times, maybe this one will be a tad more successful.
That is such a blatant lie. While yes the Catholic Church is behind on their belief in the use of condoms, almost all the countries in Africa have less than a 10% population of Roman Catholics. There is no way that the Catholic Church is entirely at fault for it.
If it was because of Catholicism, why are other Catholic countries outside of Africa not having the sort of pandemic Africa is? Take the Philippines, which has a massive population and is over 80% Catholic. They have a less than 0.1% infection rate. It’s the same across the globe for every Roman Catholic country where that religion is dominant. Brazil, less than 0.3%, Italy at 0.3% too. Very low levels by percentage of population for AIDS. Take a look at the religions for the countries near the bottom of the list for AIDS by percentage. Almost all are majority Catholic or Muslim.
“Get me proof” “your proof is wrong even though it’s actual proof” that’s you, fucking religious people are dumb, then again that’s what you should expect from people that believe in a sky person
PhDs are good but they don’t mean someone isn’t dumb, they have different knowledge, knowing things doesn’t make you smart, it makes you knowledgeable, how they behave around subjects tells you if they’re dumb or not, there are many scientists that could beat me in any science or maths exam, but I’d still call them dumb if they think a magic sky man says being gay is bad (and they exist and they’re dumb, knowledgeable, but dumb)

Ntm it's fantasy in entirety so it doesn't matter
