I’ll admit I’ve dismissed them all as mumbo-jumbo but please correct me if I’m wrong - not eating cows (hinduism?) despite being a suitable source for protein seems pretty limiting. Living in celibacy with an odd haircut (Buddhism) is downright weird to me. Sihks seem alright, although those turbans (the name escapes me) seem oppressively heavy. Do you have any other religion in mind that isn’t a tool for oppression?
Edit: Sikhs are warriors with swords as part of their uniform. Doesn’t get much more oppressive than war.
Scientology extracts wealth from the members to keep the leaders happy. I don’t know of any “concepts and ideas” religions. Please feel free to enlighten me.
I wanna see your bad faith uncharitable takes on Humanism and FSM, these are hilarious to see how you’ll twist anything even slightly religious to look evil
I find it quite humorous how you try to defend religion by bringing up the truly defining beliefs with up to a staggering 500 practitioners worldwide to support your point. Arguing that “there is nothing to believe in” is a religion sure is something else.
Hindu eat beef? It’s not against the religion to eat it.
That’s a misconception, they just make sure they die with dignity and lived as happy a life as possible.
Which some sects argue it’s impossible if they’re not living a wild life in nature, and argue one shouldn’t eat them ever (as there’s basically no such thing as wild cow anymore.) But there’s no ban, it’s just seen as immoral.
Sikh having a warrior thing is funnily enough fuck all to do with war. It’s a holdover from ancient times that’s just stuck around as part of it.

FSM is a joke, made for a dude to be able to wear a colander on their passport.
Humanism as a religion - where do we draw the line on “is a religion”? Is coffee a religion? Is Marxism a religion? Is the color purple a religion?
I mean you called Satanism a religion, so by the same definition, so is Humanism, and so is Marxism
I did? You’re the one that brought it up, and unlike the other fringe ones I’ve at least met 20+ people that consider themselves satanists.
Damn that’s the good stuff, I’ll have to share this thread with my friend, this is hilarious

And those that don’t eat beef out of religious conviction that it’s not moral are not hindu, or is their religion not true?
They’re just a different subsection of the same faith
So they are hindu and doesn’t eat beef, just as I said? Wew.
And nazism didn’t start any wars these last 10 years so it’s all good? Geez, I’ve selldom seen cherry-picking this obvious.
It literally did? Israel Palestine
That’s zionism. Don’t be silly.
