All religions are a form of mental illness. Religion is the greatest threat facing humanity BY FAR.

Because even after our little temporary oil-powered blip of 8 billion people lobbing planes full of bombs at each other collapses, we'll still keep inventing gods to disagree over.

    It definitely is not the political system of capitalism. Trump is such a devout Christian.

    The faith people have in capitalism is the same as their faith in their religion. Trump is the leader to his own religion.

    As explained, the economics don't matter. We seem wired to invent nonsense and hack each other to pieces because of myths.

    Historical fact. Religion is a mental illness. The end.

    I'm not even a Christian and this is a genuinely rubbish take, go and look up William Wilberforce for example.

    Edit: I feel that I really have to stress what I thought was obvious, the notion that every human being from behavioural modernity to the Enlightenment was mentally ill is so foolish on the face of it that it isn't worth even entertaining even for the sake of argument.

    Yes, they were. I am mentally ill too, I am depressed, I am anxious, we all have some degree of what one generation ago was a mental illness and now isn't.

    Mental illness doesn't mean dysfunctional or crazy, but if you have a heart surgeon that's also a Flat Earther, what do you call that?

    Better a flat earther than a Capitalist heart surgeon who writes you a $500000 bill Because you did not have insurance.
