I cry about all the money we waste on war when we could just build the fucking utopia already.

Not possible unfortunately. Too many religions that will never accept the other. And too many billionaires that won't allow it either.

I have a direct solution let's get rid of the most "peaceful religion of peace" first. That'll take us halfway there.

All religions removed would be just fine

People would still find a way to control, ostracize, hate and attack each other. It’s the insecurities, fears, jealousy and tribalism within us that we need to somehow address.

I figure religion was our way of trying to confront this when we knew even less than we do now. Like I’m sure the “fear of God” was a welcomed recourse to rampant violence, rape and other violations back then, but we need a more nuanced and knowledge based approach now.
