“They’re our brothers and sisters. When we stop seeing people that way it’s so easy to start making laws or enacting policies that harm them.”
You're viewing a single thread.
I was in a thread the other week where someone said they hated “religion” but didn’t have a problem with “faith”. I think I’m starting to understand what they meant by that.
When people reduce their faith to religion it loses its power and leads people astray.
You can have faith, hope and a strong belief in God and still not be religious.
Religion is the song and dance that we perform for each other. It's meaningless
What matters is how you live your life and treat other people.
Also there needs to be a distinction between organized religions with a structured hierarch and folk religions that are moreso a bunch of tennents and traditions that can be as localized and small as a single family or clan. For example damn near every American-Scots family who have been in North America long enough my own included seem to practices a type of ancestor worship usually alongside Christianity, why is that no fucking clue my best guess is that it's due to a certain level of social isolation.
