      Sure but we didnt need to build an international religion out if it which should have disappeared at least 200 years ago

        I really do want to get into this conversation with you because I can already tell your understanding of religion and history comes from sassy youtubers but I know from experience it never really goes anywhere because people like you can’t confront the fact that your worldview is tainted by irrational bigotry.

        But I’ll leave you with this nugget: Organized religion is the only reason we were able to transition from small nomadic tribes to densely populated cities and literally kickstarted the historic era. For the VAST majority of written history religion and governance were basically the same thing.

          I sure do get tired of motherfuckers insulting us for not accepting that bronze age bullshit. Religion killed 1/3 of Europe with one decree alone during the Black Plague. Imagine how much faster civilization would have advanced without a bunch of psychotic delusional retards running around yelling KILL ALL THE INFIDELS!!! Religion literally kept people from washing their hands or learning to read. Everything you claimed was a positive was in fact the opposite… the civilization that happened was in SPITE of religion when it wasnt seriously hindered and delayed by religion. It doesnt take any YouTube bullshit to know this.

            Thank you for proving my ‘sassy youtubers’ assesment of your knowledge on history.

            See? That’s what I mean.

              I understand why you said that because you took an oversimplification as an absolute, but there is medical history of people including doctors not washing their fucking hands for surgeries because science is a lie and God would decide who lives and dies.
