You didn't even quote the whole sentence. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 child) Religious people do good and evil because of their faith and they are no different than anyone else doing those things for their own reasons. They are absolutely different, because in some major religions, devotion is rewarded or promised heavily in the afterlife, which creates a great incentive. These people are more likely to become radicalized or extremists, often going out of their way to impose their worldview on others through harassment, aggression, or influence. I’ll point to Mother Theresa, who inflicted so much pain on others when she thought she was doing good, often withholding pain medicine and other treatments. She said suffering is what God intended, and so she did… unto others. There you go. You're more preoccupied with ceremony than substance because your substance has run thin. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Arkouda@lemmy.ca 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) Whatever you say bud. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago No, it's whatever you say, my Sweet Prince. permalink fedilink source parent
