Due to constant misunderstanding with my name I feel the need to change my intro. I am hateful, hateful of religion. I hate what religion does to people and that people use it as an excuse to not think. I have spent many years of my life as an Atheist and have learned to handle my emotions, but no other word quite describes how I feel towards religion short of hate. I am outspoken, open minded, and will share my opinion. If you're looking for someone who will always agree with you, that won't be me.

Question with 6 notes

Anonymous asked: Can religion be viewed as a type of Schrödinger's cat? With no evidence for or against, it could paradoxically be both..? ldk

Both true and untrue? No, I don’t view it in that way at all. If religion was something beyond a production of natural humanity it would hold information that was either timeless and always correct or special that we had not known prior to its revelation. We already know for certain there are many aspects to each religion that were either established under false information or found out later to be totally untrue. There was no information unknown to the people of the time ever included in a religion. They are exactly the type of thing we would expect from the people who produced them.
