@HeavenlyPossum I read this and your longer toot about the person you made cry.
You're right. Religion is utterly absurd. It would be harmless though if it was "just faith". But it isn't.
Best current example of how dangerous religion can be is women's loss of bodily autonomy and reproductive rights in Texas, the Taliban etc.
I know you know this.
People are welcome to their beliefs and superstitions until they start encroaching on my life.
