Folks Online Reveal 24 Things That Most Are Probably Not Ready To Hear

Agree. Organized religion is a scourge on humanity.

Remember the one about jesus and the moneylenders in the temple..... They obviously don't..... Fkn hypocrites!

Is "cure" meaning feeding the world twice? That's not cure, unfortunately. Not much wealth would be needed to cure hunger, not exploiting Africa by the whole world, would be a good start. Then getting rid of greedy corrupt regimes that exploit their own people. This would cure 99%... But it won't happen :((

They don't care.

Yeah...my visit to the Vatican made me sick. First, there is all the art they stole from other nations. Why not give it back??? Then there is the wealth....jewels, gold.....sick....totally sick!!!

thing is they use religion (which is a taboo people can't say no to) to justify bigotery homophobia transphobia sexism ||| if god was a homophobic racist transphobic misogynistic d**k I'd have overthroned him long time

I grew up around people who never seemed to think of their so-called "Christianity" as anything other than a hammer to hurt other people with. So far away from anything that Jesus was supposed to represent, and all on board for everything the Devil does. So today I refer to these fake Christians as Devil worshippers because there is no sign they worship or can even tolerate anything good.

I especially appreciate the kids in school that tell my son he's going to hell if he doesn't believe in Jesus. Or how often the two of us have been subjected to random praying at us without our consent. Granted im in a rural fairly conservative area of the US. Never got this in Seattle even though I had several friends who are devout Christians.

Yes, I agree so much with this. I am an atheist, but I still go to church (like 2/3 of the time) because while I don't think that there is a god, my church has a really awesome community and I agree with other beliefs. It's complicated, but ok. There are so many "good" christians out there. It's a shame the loudest are the worst.

Funny I have never believed in god or religion. I was 15 and moved to Ireland and had to pray at the beginning and end of class (2006) and I was shocked everyone did this, pray to the book... I got my children's Bible as a present when I was seven, was just a book, I read it and to this day I don't see how it is a religion. I was never forced to any belief, funnily my grandmother is a nun and my mum found god when she was in 40s (prayer helped with grieving her loss of husband who was a believer). But I have never understood it, I can't see how you can believe in God, and force children into church prior to them understanding what it is. I'm forever grateful I was opened to world of books, and not forced into Sunday school. (I went for a month because my friend went, I wanted too. My mum didn't stop me and I stopped because I got bored of storyteller)

AMEN!!!! The family I love does not share one drop of blood with me, while the family I was born into has used and abused me. Not anymore. Stick a fork in me, I am done.

In all honesty I almost cried because of this. I have some family members who are part of the LGBT community (including myself) as well as very conservative people (conservative in the sense of transphobia and slight homophobia). If they ever step out of their boundaries to harm anyone due to nature such as that I will completely cut them off.

THANK YOU!!! You can’t control what you’re born into. Yes, it’s good to have good relationships with family but what was said above was true. If they don’t care then why should you.

Completely agree. I have 2 sisters that I choose not to have relationships with. One is just plain bat-sh*t crazy, the other is a narcissistic alcoholic and BOTH are seriously toxic. My Mom tried to guilt trip me a few times (lady, have you MET me?) to no avail. I refuse to be a part of their constant drama and have no need for either of them in my life.

I'd alter this a bit. Just because you love somebody, doesn't mean they should be a part of your life, or that you should allow them to hurt you. It's okay to love your abuser, we can't help loving people sometimes. But it's also okay to remove that abuser from your life. Even, maybe especially, if you love them.

I love my hubby above all else, but *I* come first above him. If I'm not in a good place I can't support him. The rest of the hierarchy is flexible, and would have changed if we'd had kids.

Yes. My husband comes before my mum and I absolutely expect my husband to put me before his family BUT we have mutual respect for each that means I don't demand or expect this when I can see that its important to my husband. For egample, early on our relationship his mum was playing some power games. I expected my husband to support me and put his foot down - which he did. This was piviotal to developing a respectful relationship with my mother in law. Years later, and now mother in law has dementia and husband spends a lot of time caring for her. While I know that if I need hubby to put me first, he absolutely will- I wont ask it of him because he needs to be there for them and I need to be there for him.

Real life is messy, and marriage is a partnership, not a locked ward. There's a kernel of truth in this, especially when one's young, but there are going to be times over the years when yes, others will take precedence for a time. And that's okay.

heheh. "AITA" people usually need to understand this.

I think it depends on the situation and the person?
