    Greetings fellow lemming I’m new here and hope we can have a productive discussion.

    Please allow me to elucidate my perspective on this question: are all religions intolerant?

    I say yes, let me explain.

    Many have told me about “their god” and I take their word for it. I believe everything everyone has told me about “their god”. Powerful, all knowing, usually vindictive, often horny for human girls, etc.

    Resultantly I believe in all of “their gods”.

    And I drew a conclusion about that guy.

    I think “god” is a piece of shit unworthy of praise and we should seek to destroy and erase it. Those who worship it are dangerous and not to be trusted. At best they need psychiatric care, likely many of them should be incarcerated. The link between “piety” and “skeletons in the closet” is strong.

    I hate god and have no respect for god-fearing people and no tolerance for their “beliefs”

    Which supernatural make-believe system (read: religion ) is tolerant of my supernatural make-believe system?

    Please don’t mistake my anger at religions as anger at you.

    Cheers mate

      I’m following so far

      And I drew a conclusion about that guy.

      What do you mean “that guy”. I thought we just established these are multiple guys?

      What do you mean “it”? Don’t you mean “them”?

      Why are you talking about a singular God here? It reads like you’re blaming Yahweh for Zeus’ sexual behaviour and you’re blaming Hanuman for the Great Flood.

      These aren’t the same character. Each “God” claim needs to be evaluated separately.

      For example why do you hate Persephene so much? Why is she a piece of shit. You claim to believe in her right Your reasons shouldn’t include examples from the Bible.

      Which supernatural make-believe system (read: religion ) is tolerant of my supernatural make-believe system?

      You might find company among the Satanic Temple or other Satanists.

      You said “Buddhism” was ruled out but you didn’t actually clarify so until you present your reasoning I’d say Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism and Jainism all lacking God’s are partially compatible.

      I mean to be fair there’s not going to be a great answer because this isn’t a real question but a gotcha. And I say that as an atheist.

      You obviously don’t actually believe in all the gods, your earlier language shows you haven’t thought enough about what that means and force them all into the same one God.

      The Hittites believed in “all the gods” and absorbed every new God of neighbors they conquered. But they truly believed in these gods, not as a gotcha question but they really believed in the power of these entities.

      Regardless of personal moral views on their behavior, outwardly taunting that being seems silly in light of genuine faith.
