Part of being a participant in an open, diverse society is knowing when and how to suppress your hostility.

Obviously, there will be occasions when it flares up again.

And since religion is not independent of politics or ethics, there are situations where it has to be criticized.

But in most situations I find that openly disdaining or mocking religion does absolutely nothing good.

I also enjoy appropriating religious aesthetics for my own degenerate purposes.

This doesn't endear me to religious people but it does make the Voltaires a little tiresome to me.

I think in convos like this it's also useful to consider ppl with spiritual leanings that aren't necessarily part of an organized religion.

Cuz spirituality can be a healthy thing to have and explore and while organized religion has lots of issues, the faith part is not the prob.
