The connection between Religion and Politics
The Blackangel reacted to Reality vs Adventure for a topic
Let me make this clear. Religion did NOT give morality. Religion has many beliefs in human history. Morality came from our natural instinct as humans. We have intelligence. We have sympathy. We can learn from mistakes. We can identify suffering. We don't need religion to teach us right from wrong. Religion attracts people who are abusers. People who want to hide behind a code of ethics, to swing their fist in the air, to act moral, to act superior, at the same time they incite hate. That is religion. True morality doesn't need a book written by man. True morality is natural. It's intelligence. Morality is intelligence. The less intelligence people have, the more immoral they become. I'm not talking about IQ. I'm talking about pure human intelligence. Religion is not intelligence. It's irrational, unintelligent. Religion attracts the unintelligent, people willing to give up their rationality. Religion is the opposite of intelligence. People willing to bow down in weakness instead of having an independent mind. Religion takes that independent mind away we are born with. Religion make humans completely stupid. Intelligence is not book smart, it is not ambition, it is not an evil genius, it is not power. Intelligence is morality, NOT religion. Intelligence allows us to have the greatest ethics. Religion is the dumbing down of intelligence. The dumbing down of morality. It's funny every time a religious person asks the question, "where do you get your ethics then?" I was born with ethics until religion took it away. You can propose the 10 commandments, then worship a guy like Trump that breaks all 10 commandments. I ask religious folk, where do you get your ethics from? A book you read? A brainwashed parent? You had ethics before religion tainted your mind. You were smart before religion brought you irrationality. Religion does not teach morality. Religion teaches evil, to hate others, to let go of morality, to let go of your intelligence.1 point -

Religion is oppressive by nature. Religion is what brought us the Dark Ages. In ancient Egypt, only the religious leaders had the right to read and write, to be educated, and to hold skillful jobs. Look at the Taliban making women cover themselves head to toe while paraded around by men with rifles. Religion is the gateway to oppression. In America, religion should NOT be in politics. Christianity is a tax exempt organization. If they quote the bible while writing their bills and ruling on cases, then christianity needs to be taxed. Then we also have the Establishment Clause in the 1st amendment which gives us freedom from religion and also protects religion from the government. A perfect example of what not to do is how republicans treat religion in America. Trump is now a convicted felon, a sex offender, and a fraud, who went and sold bibles with a bunch of government documents in it. Isn't that blatant sacrilege? And imagine if your religion is not the religion of the government. They will not tolerate your religious rights. Imagine your kids forced to go to schools that indoctrinate religion that teaches them things against your own religion. That’s what a religious government will do, it will infect schools, colleges, businesses, jobs, advertisements, music, movies, radio, media, science, and your personal lives in every way. Religion is poison. It’s an obsession that gradually becomes more and more fanatical with every generation as politicians want to act more morally superior than their opponents. And the whole essence of religious teachings get thrown out the window and becomes unrecognizable as a religious belief, and more like a cult terroristic belief. Progression goes backwards instead of the natural evolution of human progression with the arts, science, technology, philosophy. It wasn’t a religious government that gave us all the much needed technologies of today. Galileo was jailed for his research saying the Earth revolved around the sun and not the other way around. Religion as the basis of politics will bring society into the Dark Ages. Go back to the days of looking for witches to burn and everyone is ignorant and illiterate. And that is why I say christians in America are fakes. They are infiltrating christianity and turning it into terrorist cells, re-education centers, nazi propaganda and Russian propaganda centers. They hide behind religion to do their evil deeds, and christians let them do it. They are enablers. In fact, the Federalist Society and Heritage Foundation are two major republican religious groups in the USA who have full intention to destroy American democracy and have a dictatorship. Those organizations wrote up the plan Project 2025 where if Trump is elected, they will increase presidential powers, get rid of checks and balances, and fire all federal employees and replace them with maga loyalists. They actually wrote that plan up. No shame at all. And those religious groups handpicked our supreme court justices. The SC justices hold loyalty to the Federalist Society and Heritage Foundation, not loyalty to our constitution. Those justices are the most corrupted in the entire history of the USA and they claim to be religious. They literally take bribes and have no ethical oversight, and they refuse to hold each other accountable for any ethics violations. They are traitors. They are protecting Trump by intentionally delaying his trials. They are abusing their power in aiding, abetting, and providing comfort to traitor Trump who had a coup attempt. Religion is poison and nothing good comes from it when it's mixed with politics. Religion IS the embodiment of evil.1 point
