Lelya, if we're talking about spirit, feel free to give me a thumbs down, and the rest of you too. If you don't like the post, give it a thumbs down. Don't look at it through the lens of "familiarity." Neo, I know you didn't like the message. Join in. There's no need to pity me; I won't be offended.
I'm saying this because, while spirit is spirit, political correctness is political correctness, and feelings are feelings, sometimes things just boil over. And why should an atheist respect a Christian's feelings, but a Christian shouldn't respect an atheist's feelings? What's that about? Is the Christian acting helpless?
Okay. Don't take it too seriously.
Maybe it's "my style," or "I just want to stand out":)
Actually... it just amuses me a lot. Seemingly grown-up people, but their minds are a mess.
"Don't offend the gods." To me, that sounds the same as "please don't break this imaginary chair."
Ah... sometimes I think that religion will eventually disappear, but more often I imagine an eternal church. Something like this: people fly between the stars, use pocket disintegrators, but don't shoot them into the sky so as not to hurt Perun.
You know that famous Chekhov story, "The Case," what hides a person? In my opinion, religion is the most global and terrible case, a case for all of humanity. Psychiatrists treat a person for voices in their head, while in the chapel next door, an old woman kisses the icons, and the latter is considered perfectly normal. As a matter of course. Although, in its nature, it's the same self-deception, only on a much grander scale.
And again, ah...
Maybe we'll leave the Dark Age of Technology someday...
By the way, have you noticed that "psychics" make hand gestures to add theatricality to their scenes?

And in general... if we call religions true, then each of them has millions of inconsistencies, and between them - billions. So, is only one of them true? Doesn't that sound like racism? And if they're all true, why were pagans burned with fire and sword?
And so on, and so forth.
Agree, the argument "our very existence is proof (although it's probably the only one)" is nonsense.
In general, it seems that everyone should agree on Babism, the teaching of the Babbists, founded by Baba. Its goals include Universal Equality, as well as the Power of the Babbists. Quite a totalitarian inconsistency, isn't it?
P.S. It's real; I read about it today in the Soviet Encyclopedic Dictionary
