Even the “best” individuals in the catholic church are still the members of a homophobic and misogynist cult persuading people to believe that ghosts are real. catholic church bending and changing its own sacred holy laws as it suit them is more proof of their bullshits.
There is being atheist and there is being anti-theist.
The way you express yourself, it seems you lean more into the second. Which I find intriguing because in order to be anti-theist, you first need to give any value to the theist claims.
As you do seem very invested in supporting and uplifting those that are wronged by a creed, why do you opt to attack any and all believer, by default, instead of trying to find people that share your exact concerns?
It doesn’t matter if someone takes Santa Claus, the Krampus, the Easter Bunny or the Tooth Fairy as real or if they hold the hope of meeting again their loved ones after they die. People are here, today, living, breathing, suffering.
The bending and changing of those same “holy” precepts is what allows people to diverge abd evolve the way they understand others and the world.
Anti-theism fell out of favour in the 2010’s. Too much vitriol. Reason does not cancel hope and dreams but it should cancel hollow arguments, including those reason itself raises.
If there was a pinned post about Santa Claus disciple passing i would express my concerns about the Santa Claus cult, especially if the cultist were known to be bigots involved in abuse scandals.
That’s Easter. But since you mention it, there was a time when coal was to be given to the bad kids, which by default were all the non-white and not poor kids.
Bigoted enough for you? I grew up still listening echos of that shit.
