Us and them. "Our tribes is stronger than yours is Our tribe is stronger than yours."

This is autonomic. we have no control over this. This is why religion can be so evil. Fuck us up from an early age.

Last night's conversation between Joe Rogan and Sam Harris explores this topic. Sam's comments about Liam Neeson are important for all of us.

It's hard to be humble when you're best friend is God.

Because that is who they are. Assholes, hypocritical and bigoted. When they knock on my door, depending on what I'm doing, I'll be glad them what I think. After a couple of minutes, they'll give up and go to the next door neighbor.

Because most people are religious simply so they can feel superior to others without having to actually do anything to earn the status they feel they have.

Not all religious people are the same.

Because they think in absolute concepts.
Given that divinities are above humans, you can say for sure what is right and wrong.
The flawed point is assuming gods are real, given this error, the judgemental part is a logical consequence.

my cousin is overly religious and has no problem saying people are going to HELL... with certainty. i wonder how she knows.

Because gawd is Extremely judgemental! Every impure thought gets noted, ferpetessake

It’s actually human nature and there’s proof that it isn’t just religious people right here on this site.

Don’t believe me then make a post about accepting someone who’s religious or one that speaks of tolerance towards trump.

Just saying that it’s human nature but sometimes we can’t see it because of our own prejudices.

judging one another is what our minds do automatically. if someone says they don't they're LYING.

Everyone likes to think they are better than others for whatever reason they can. Religious people just have an easy pre thought out reason to use, and usually a majority of people around them to agree about it.

Because they are people. Show me a large group of people who are not judgmental. Please.

They are instructed to condemn all who do not comply.

I think non believers are a threat to many believers because they need validation for a belief that really might not make a lot of sense to them either, but all of that brainwashing since they were children is difficult for most to walk away from. Hence, the more validation, the more comfort they find in their decision to keep the faith.IMO

Their love applies only to those who believe as they do.
Even then you'd better watch your back.

It's because they can only understand the fruits of the spirit in terms of the fruits of the flesh.

A lot of it is picking the good and omitting the bad. They do not realize there is more bad than good in the bible. They chose to ignore that fact.

It's called being a hypocrite.
