@udon @neo @ryo Well, religions are ideologies and therefore have the exact same issues, so I am against them too. Can they be used for good? Maybe briefly, but not for long, all of them end up being corrupted almost immediately.

In the case of "Christianity", it was co-opted by the Roman government (hell, they even added the book of Romans, a book about how you should obey the government without question or God will be angry) and at this point it's basically the opposite of the teachings of actual Jesus.

Jesus himself was not a fan of the religious institutions of his time. He said himself that you can't serve two masters, in the context of not being able to serve both God and Mammon (money), and his position was basically that you should just sell everything you own and become homeless and go hang out with him, and that you should own a sword, but nothing else is really necessary.

And he hanged out with the rejects of society, so he was not a judgemental cunt like "Christians" are. Even the teachings that weren't excused away and that were actually followed, eventually went away too while all the bad brought in by the psychopaths stayed in there.

Anyway, some of that also happened to Buddha. I know that he wasn't a fan of the religious institutions of his time either, probably not a fan of religion in general. Definitely not a fan of people that are slaves to Mammon either. Really, these figures are very similar to each other, they are of the same general archetype. I like them but hate the people that have been shitting all over their names for thousands of years. The religions that co-opted their teachings for profit and power are trash, but the things that they had to say were good.
