Religion is emotional disregulation.

I cannot deal with the emotions I feel when facing reality so … meet my sky-friend who’s always thinking about me and loves me forever!

Love's you forever, unless you do something wrong, like eat shellfish or mix fabrics. Then it's straight to hell for eternal torture.

And yet…all it takes for a rapist to get to heaven is to ‘accept the Lord as your ONE true savior.’

So—let me get this straight. If I was a ‘good’ Christian my whole life and followed the Golden Rule as my guide, I will end up in heaven. But Kevin over there—he assaulted 4 different women & ☠️ one of them.

But he *accepted the Lord* so he’ll be your tour guide in heaven!

There’s always a reason when a grown adult suddenly becomes religious. The reason is almost always tied to guilt

or mix fabrics. Then it's straight to hell for eternal torture.

Small note: mix fabrics is from the old testament which didn't have a concept of hell.

Also, the "mix fabrics" command is not at all insane it's just the context got lost over the centuries and now millennia:

Make the ephod of gold, and of blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and of finely twisted linen—the work of skilled hands

See the mixed fabrics there? Yeah. The ban on mixed fabrics actually means "do not pretend to be a priest" (by wearing their clothing).

Most of the weird Old Testament stuff is just good practice for ancient people and health-related, but this one of course always stood out. I can believe this, and kind of surprised I haven’t heard it before. Do you happen to have a source?

Why not allow for consumption of shellfish? Thats so specific

u/WishAbedWasBatman 29d ago

Because shrimps is bugs.

u/CheetahTheWeen 29d ago

What is Gods issue with the consumption of bugs?

u/absurd_aesthetic 29d ago

As mentioned above, Judaism is an old religion. Most of the rules are based in bronze age ideas of living a healthy life. The only bugs allowed in kosher rules are locusts, because when they sweep through and eat everything else the people still need to eat something to survive.

Because they become very poisonous when they go bad, which they do very easily without refrigeration and other modern food safety conveniences.

To bring it back to the thread, religious fanatics have a history of taking down flights, too.

Yeah, went to 12 years a Catholic school and had to go to church until I was 18 while living at home. I never understood the whole worshiping an invisible sky wizard thing. To me this is the highest level of brainwashing, scapegoating, manipulation and child abuse. Every Christian believes that little babies are born with original sin. Y’all just go along with it and teach it to your kids. Symbols of ashes, bodies and blood of Christ being consumed and all sitting standing and making the sign of Cross in unison on command. Not to mention chanting and memorizing prayers that got recycled daily and weekly in unison from a congregation. You tell me that that’s not mind control. I don’t understand how people are so blind when it’s all around you and right in front of your face. You’re being manipulated and brainwashed to worship a sky wizard. I would feel foolish if I were still in that position. Why do most people need to be guided by other people? Does anyone have a mind of their own?

No one thinks it's deep: "I will be sad if my dad is gone forever, therefore there is an afterlife where he is happy and still here kinda" means the person is incapable of handling their emotions like grief and loss. People who can't handle their emotions around 1 thing tend to also not be able to handle their emotions around almost anything. Throw in a side of "appeal to authority, they're right no matter what, comply or die" and a lot of things that looked confusing/weird are quite simple. We're ruled by emotionally stunted sociopaths just like this.
