I’m not religious personally but TGI Fridays is a very popular after-church spot (according to all of the religious/former religious people I asked). Why are none of them mad about this?
How could they actively support a restaurant so sinful it includes a sin in the title?
Because religion is a set of rules for hypocrites to bind people they don’t like and suggestions for behavior for themselves which can be discarded, as they are only superstitions, not actual laws.
Very far from all of them, but indeed too many sects are
Show me one religion that’s not full of full of shit hypocrisy.
Show me the one religion that says “hey we figured out the supernatural and here’s the proof”
Just one is all it would take to prove me wrong.
The fact is the idea of religion is a fundamental logical fallacy.
“There are thing beyond our reasoning. Here is how that stuff works”
Is cockamamie bullshit.
Faith doesn’t need proof: it’s not logical, meant to be logical, nor applied in science (and nor should it be). That does not mean it’s hypocrisy.
You’re describing mental illness
It has to do harm in itself to be an illness. Don’t tell me you don’t have your own little rituals and habits.
My habits don’t carry a threat from supernatural forces if someone else doesn’t follow them. But you know this.
You made a bad faith argument in support of religion.
Which is expected. Because there are no good faith arguments for religion.
Because there is no way a human could comprehend anything beyond our universe, and pretending you can is just a lie, a hypocritical act that can’t be proven.
Take your bad faith to church where it belongs.
Well why do you follow it, then? The reasons for that also apply to the reasons for superstitions.
I don’t understand how it is bad faith. Assuming something doesn’t have to be logical is no less unmoving than assuming it has to.
I agree. And I simply do not believe any of us can decide whether God exists or not, since that is also a comprehension. That doesn’t mean we can’t decide which comprehension we believe in more, just like we pick and choose the morals we prioritize.
Finally, as I’ve said above, “lies” don’t have to be hypocritical.
Typical religious-apologism gobbledygook.
You sound like trump.
Not religious myself, but the essence of faith is that you don’t need scientific evidence but take it “on faith”. You trust that your beliefs, or something close to it, are the truth that will be revealed when your material life ends (and if you were devout, you usually get eternal bliss and happiness as a reward).
This is a description of a demented mind.
