system

It's not aesthethics, it's use. It produces blind followers and false idolatry. It's a system that prevents freedom from happening outside it's own bounds. In ethics, we call it the deontological problem. Good rules are great to have but are always going to be insufficient to the development of the moral person, because they are just following rules, they don't learn to live on their own. It's following the law instead of true belief

This is a very basic criticism of religion that anyone above 80 IQ can point out flaws in if that's what they're attempting to do.

I'm not saying you're bellow 80 IQ, but what I am saying is that you'll find a flaw in your own argument the moment you look for it, and the fact that you haven't already proves to me that you are invested in not having it disproven. Likely, because you feel religion is lame, and you want to have a 'cool' and 'intellectual' reason for holding that stance rather than just having it as an aesthetic prefference.

Tell me where I am wrong, so I can see for myself where I fail.

I've given you my reasoning for rejecting organized religion. And I want to try this because it's in accordance with my beliefs of building systems that encourage the development of people, phylosophically, politically and spiritually.

Id it's such a basic criticism, it has a basic reply that you can tell us

I'm not going to logic you out of a posistion you didn't logic your way into, if you've managed to go your entire life up until now dodging, ducking, dipping, diving and dodging your way out of ways that may make you change your current view on religion I'm not going to be the one magic bullet that finally makes you change your mind.

I will however, encourage you to spend some time on your own once you're out of this argumentative conversation we're having together and think about what kind of benefits people might find in religion, and why so many people might go (beyond 'they're all brainwashed lmao' )

Look at that strawman. I know the benefits of religion, that's why I follow one. I didn't say they were brainwashed. I say organized religion produces sheep due to how it functions. Even Christians manage to diverge and interpret teachings according to their own moral compass. I don't want to destroy organized religion. I just think that there are other ways to experience spirituality that are better towards developing free people

I would never tell anyone to go into drugs(hormone therapy) or gender reassignment surgery. Due to my experience with the medical establishment. I know it's not in their best interests(pic very related). Specially because in order to have sex, you need functioning genitals. But I encourage people to explore their own sexuality. What kind of succubus would I be if I prevented people from having sex?

I didn't believe the other anon that said he was an agent, but it's very clear he is. He has literally infiltrated various religions and kept his own secret in order to gain knowledge and power. He also wants me to use practices he already knows about because he knows how to defend against them(the banishing ritual). And he comes here telling me to preach the benefits of organized religion
 This is the most subversive post I have read, he even mentions gold. I feel bad I told him anything. I hope the nobody changes his hiding places regularly. Thank Lilith I have never actually met the Nobody and I have no power over anything or he might try to use it against us. I hope we don't attract more of this people or we will have to leave. Christ Anons pls come back!
