“It’s Actually Very Odd When You Think About It”: 50 Things That Are Considered Normal But Are Weird As Shared By Our Community

This ons needs to be higher. Remember a while back in Milan the bankers went on strike and there was a panic but nothing terrible happened? And then the garbage cleaners/collectors went on strike and the city was a filthy mess. Essential workers need better wages because they are the people that make the world a better place.

Are they really people anymore with all the implants fillers, injections and prosthetics they’ve used to modify themselves. Can they still be considered human?

Finally; a true human.

People have been idle bystanders for a long time before cellphones came with cameras.

Fox hunting has supposedly been banned in the UK, not Scotland though I think. I 100% agree with you, but what about bull fighting in Spain and Portugal, sheep stabbing for halal meat and many other abuses, do not blame just the UK

I have no problem with faith. The problem lies in the man made rules that define the organized Religion. Made by men with ulterior motives, like power and/or wealth

It only seems normal because most people are indoctrinated from their infancy to believe such nonsense. It's normal if that is all you know. But come on, the idea that there were 2 people in some garden and a snake convinced a woman to eat a forbidden fruit and that results in the whole of humanity to be damned in some sort of way? Not to mention other ridiculous notions like a wordwide flood that killed everything except this one guy's family who happened to take samples of every species on a giant boat to repopulate the world? And somehow all the kangaroos ended up in Australia and nowhere else? Seriously, it's all complete nonsense.

True faith is a beautiful thing to behold, but most religious people don’t have it. They’re just there to get anything they can out of religion. Going to church to make business or social connections, or just so you can make yourself think you’re superior to someone else because you “just know” you’re going to Heaven and the rest of us are going to burn in Hell (Hint: We’re not. Heaven and Hell are right here on Earth, and we’re all already in the middle of it.). Joining, or forming, a cult to coerce believers into turning all their assets over to the “religion”—-meaning you. Happens in the older religions too. What’s the net worth of The Vatican? I’m not saying religions haven’t ever done anything good for anybody. There are very selfless people in each of them who have done wonderful things for people who really needed it. But then there’s the rest—-most—-of them, who would rather blame and judge than help, then cherry-pick their particular book to justify themselves.

Fear of the unknown is a tremendous motivator.

Religion was invented by man to control the masses.

I know it’s a joke on family guy but if you really look at worship services, it’s an odd ritual. A group of people singing together to an invisible sky daddy.

Religion can be good for the individual, but its a bad thing for humanity. It’s just another reason to dislike others who dont share your beliefs… there are like 3000 “active” gods out there, no your god isnt the true one

Crazy leader: we will tell the people a man in the sky impregnated a mortal. The resulting child was a magic man who could turn water into wine and rise from the dead. That way we can control them with the fear of not being sent to the sky man's cloud kingdom in the sky. Crazy leaders freind: it'll never work mate Crazy leader: oh we will see

Look at some of the other religions that you are not committed to and realise how much wierd stuff is in there. So exactly how is the universe structured? Something with a flat disk on top of elefants standing on a giant turtle swimming through the universe? What kinds of mushrooms did you eat, before getting that idea? You may have grown so acustomed to certain things in your religion and have been exposed to them to such an extend that they seem familiar, and therefore look normal; but for a moment try to step outside of it and do a similar evaluation to those things from the other religions. What did you say the symbol of your religion was? A medieval torture device? sound just like the thing you'd wear around your neck...and what did you do last sunday in church? Participated in a simulated canabalistic ritual where you pretended to eat the body and drink the blood of your god, who also happened to be his own farther? Maybe it is time to evaluate if this is really the smartest way

Very little emphasis is placed on repentance. Repentance is NOT saying, "oh, sorry" and repeating the same wrong act. Repentance includes trying to help t

I totally agree !!! All of the things I was taught in Catholic school and jammed down my throat were man made laws. At 4th grade the doubt began and by the time I graduated I realized they were wrong. As a disabled Vet and senior I still study and research two topics to become more wise than intellectual, History and Theology so as to stay focused.

I believe deeply in a higher power ... but really despise the way organized religion has been weaponized over the centuries to benefit "The Church" at the expense of its parishioners.

Not at all - humans are hard-wired to look for causes. When we don't understand what causes a phenomenon, we invent a story to fill that gap. People also have the tendency to see intelligence behind many things. I mean, look at how many people believe that their dog is Einstein? They are inventing human-type intelligence behind the dog's actions. For much larger phenomena, like storms or sunlight, they invent a cosmic intelligence, or intelligences.
