Believe it or not, there are persistent alternate points of view. You shouldn't take the discussions personally; your position is well known.

like Christians destroy Christianity, some liberals destroy liberalism. Some right wingers destroy conservatism.

its when people take their "agenda" and decide what is true based on that agenda. And actually, if you look at personality disorders, abuse, trauma, addiction, and mental illness wacky truths start becoming very predictable. thats why some atheist and theist avoid talking about beliefs based on them.

I used atheist and theist just because of the forum ... we can insert [whatever] in to it.

I just went off the title of the thread and I disagree, rem, ha, this is coming from a 'believer'.

If every person on earth, haha, had a wise person/ therapist? to help them with their childhood traumas
and assorted wounds they project on others and came to peace with just those...the leaders would be calm,
not trying to prove anything; egos around the world would be tamer.
It would be a kinder world thus, society...
no mention of a God, no ceremonies or Church elders telling the people what was what...guilt and pride (ego)
would be smoothed out...like ruffled feathers stroked gently.
Slowly, each generation would be healthier and healthier.
Ahhh...

Without a doubt hedonism is the lowest common denominator. And as with any worldview, hedonism has some diehard evangelist within it's community. It's not enough that they embrace hedonism, everyone has to embrace it as well.

My simple answer to Dave Rubin -- whoever he is -- is that we can go back to various times in the world's past and see how religion has screwed up people's lives and the world. Nuff said.
