    Religion did have good morals in theory. Not in practice.

    Also, unrelated to your points, religion didn’t evolve. It stayed about the same for thousands of years, despite new science.

        That jesus dude had some pretty liberal thoughts. Buddhism was a nice reaction to the caste system. The method of delivery may not be inherently moral, but it is possible to manipulate a population in a way overall beneficial to society.

          He personally, maybe. I didn’t know the guy. The religion that grew around him, though … not so much.

          I’m not sure if it’s because of his father or he just had terrible editors for his posthumous book release. But some of the stuff in there is quite abhorrent.

      i didnt say religion only had bad morals. broken clocks and such.

      but christianity in specific has a lot of flawed morals that christians handwave. like Mary being 12 when she gave birth to Jesus, or pretty much everything old testament.

      claims of a perfect and just omnipotent god while stuff like that flies is sloppy.
