My problem with Christianity

My problem with Christianity is the concept of hell as a part of it's belief system. The fact that you can abandon all sense of logic and reasoning any sense of morality simply on the basis of what is believed to be a so-called God is absolute stupidity. What would otherwise be considered evil is somehow acceptable if done by a so-called perfect God.

@BohemianBoo there's no concept of eternal hell in Hinduism and Buddhism, only abrahamic religions, that's why they use fear to convert people by saying its eternal and they gonna burn, the concept of hell is purely an abrahamic thing its not found in any indigenous religions like shamanism or animism or even Totemism.

@Peaceandnamaste Hinduism and Buddhism still use fear to get people to follow the rules. But really, I was referring to how all religions are nonsensical. You have to abandon logic to follow any religion.

@BohemianBoo Native americans were peaceful before the European colonizers came and brought their books.

@BohemianBoo I'm transgender and bisexual and I've always felt like I was born in the wrong body or that I was a different gender in a past life.

@Peaceandnamaste Feelings aren't evidence. Plenty of people feel like Yahweh is the one true god, that isn't evidence that Yahweh is real.

@BohemianBoo Transgender people are the actual proof of reincarnation. Otherwise you're a transphobic close minded bigot.

@Peaceandnamaste WTF? Not at all. Being trans doesn't mean you were a different gender in a past life. There are other reasons people become trans, based on actual data.

@BohemianBoo then why do I feel like a male soul trapped in a woman's body? It feels so real, been like this since I was a little child that I felt like I was born in the wrong body.

BohemianBoo · M

@Peaceandnamaste Because the male body corresponds with your mentality and identity. And it's similar for cis people. Women get boob jobs, men get hair implants, and it's all because they want their outside to match their mental state/identity. If you alter your body, it doesn't mean you had a past life where you looked different.

@BohemianBoo you don't understand my struggle, my stepfather was like that and he made me suicidal.

BohemianBoo · M

@Peaceandnamaste You might have had gender dysphoria, which I sympathize with. I think gender affirming care should be free, like all healthcare. I just don't think there's evidence of past lives here.

@BohemianBoo my stepfather was transphobic and didn't believe in reincarnation and he called me stupid and verbally abused me and physically abused me too for it, I have autism so this is my interest and helped me through life.
