Maybe we should just tack Dante's words onto the description for the Religion PDF to explain what it's actually for. It looks way more appealing and hits closer to the mark than Institutional Belief. Between the insane thread titles and the even worse posts, this whole Religion section has become totally unrecognizable...
Isn't it against the rules—both legal ones and just basic forum etiquette—to throw around accusations without any actual proof?
It shouldn't be hard to see the point of this post, even with all the word salad going on...
And then there's the grand finale.
The original topic was about whether antidepressants are okay for religious people.
Different topic, but the exact same tone, maybe even worse.
Finally, here’s a take on the whole relationship between God and man, viewed through, obviously, an anti-theist lens.
This isn't the first time this forum has gone off the rails, and it definitely won't be the last unless something major changes.
EDIT: Deleting this thread probably won't change a damn thing about how people act on this board.

Why does the church spread hate? Isn't that a criminal offense? And half these priests are total losers, should we be hating them too?
There's so much nonsense and hypocrisy in that church doctrine that a sane person would lose their mind if they actually studied it for five minutes...

adelon said:A sick leg is nothing compared to a sick brain. And faith is a byproduct of... uh... reason*, right? So what are believers—who aren't even dealing with depression caused by "physical" brain changes—actually treating, if not their broken faith? No, that’s the part that just doesn't add up—taking pills ("chemical substances") just so you can start believing in God again.
*For instance, a mentally challenged person claiming God exists is the same as them claiming the theory of relativity is valid...

JAWS said:Can believers use that kind of chemistry
My answer is No, because otherwise, they lose all credibility.
Different topic, but the exact same tone, maybe even worse.
Jacob said:What I really want to figure out in this thread is how believers actually think
So, don't hold back. No matter how stupid the reasons seem or how much they look like brainwashing, just lay them out there.

Jacob. said:I’d actually be drawn to a religion where I could express my love for God by fucking him in the ass, because that’s what real love is—something you don't do with anyone else but God. In that kind of religion, whether you're gay or not, it would be a sin to dump your seed in someone who isn't God, but everyone would still be doing it just like they do now... except you could just go to confession and have it all sorted out. Something like that. 😲
