How do people in this day in age become nazis/neonazies sexist or even incels when there is so much knowledge against it? Do they get anything out of being that way?

Then I stated reading the Bible, and once I did that, I obviously couldn't continue believing it.

Yeah nothing obvious about that. Your religion is idiotic, all religions are lies made up by con artists or crazy people. You cant be trusted if you need some book assembled over a 600 year period, edited and abused by religious leaders to control and manipulate the masses into maintaining and increasing their own powerbase, to tell you right from wrong.

Religion is just the old world version of todays billionaires

Couldn't agree more. Fuck a safe space for insane blatherskite.

"willful ignorance" lol

Like I don't wanna beat up on the guy but... fuckin hell.

Ya, I was willfully ignorant for a while in my life, and then I started to actually practice critical thinking and developing a sound epistemology. I admitted I was wrong and took steps to change that. So what exactly is there to beat up on me about?

Im glad they are a better person than they used to be, but that particular sentence made me laugh out loud

Question: does that sentence lead one to believe that reading the Bible made me think the Bible is against sexism and homophobia or does it lead you to believe that I am no longer religious because I read the bible?
