Which religions actually produce the kindest/most holy people?
>>
>>41756301
And then I asked myself, which kindest/most holy people actually produce religions?
>>
>>41756301
The ones who think for themselves and follow the Golden Rule and other such morality.
Daoism, Gnosticism, even atheists and agnostics.
When people do as they're told by giant institutions and puffed up cult leader types, then you get compromised people that will cause trouble
>>
>>41756301
O9A
You just need people to be ultra violent so they disobey
>>
Transcensionists?
>>
>>41756301
Quantity of people or Quality of people?
Because yeah you have your asshole neighbors in all christian countries but christian saints are up there in the top of mankind
>>
Universalists and Quakers
>>
>>41756301
never met a nice jew
nor wiccans/witches/neopagans but I think that's more about them being women and hoes
>>
>>41756301
Paradoxically, Satanism.
>>
Buddhists and Taoists
>>
>>41756301
atheism
>>
>>41756301
All of them.
That's one of the many grand illusions.
>>
Christians / orthodox monks
>>
>>41756301
asceticism does (Christanity, Buddhism, Islam, etc.) but they're a minority and by their own nature you won't see many monks as your neighbors
>>
>>41756301
My impression has been that decent people will tend to interpret their religion as an excuse to go on being decent, while awful people will tend to interpret their religion as an excuse to go on being awful. So basically I don't think religion has too much to do with it and I doubt that any religion is able to reliably produce especially kind/holy people compared to the others.

Despite that, I will say for my part that I find Christianity to be morally inspiring as a collection of ideas and symbols, though, for me, treating it as a literally true, coherent belief system is a recipe for a neverending headache. So I doubt the sanity of people who appear comfortable with it. On the other hand, I find Buddhism to be comparably morally inspiring in a slightly different way, and with the bonus upside of being much less headache-inducing (though still a little headache-inducing).

Taoists seem like they'd be alright to me from reading a little of the Dao De Jing and Zhuangzi, but I don't know any in real life and I still don't feel like I quite get what it's about.

Thanks for reading for my blog.

this, its all noise really. too many variables to ever attribute to anything
>>
>>41756630
People do not get morality from religion, especially the texts.
People use religion to express and clarify their morality.
>>
>>41756301
>kindest/most holy people
don't exist
>>
>>41756621
>mentioning Christanity ever
lmao you must be joking. they're the most violent warmongers and religious psychos

the only ones not starting world wars are eastern religions like buddhism or daoism even gnosticism only fought for self defense
>>
>>41757353
there has been buddhist religious wars
and you could argue that the old Chinese Empire was under daoist influence when it waged war as well
>>
Being kind just makes it easier for the jews to manipulate you. Kindness is goy coded.
>>
>>41756495
this possibly. there are no demons harrassing satanists, they are all on their side helping them live the life and get huge advantages in everything

meanwhile paradoxically Christians might have some of the worst attitudes if they're beaten down by hoardes of demons and jews
>>
>>41756301
It has got to be one of those religions which the followers have orange clothes, you know? Those guys don't harm anyone, not even flies. They go to their monasteries and only God knows what the Hell they do in there, but they sure do not engage in wars and stuff like that. Now, take the christians for example, they kill and lie and rape and they push their religion on you call you demonicly possessed, you know? That is not very nice. I think from all the religions that one I mentioned first is the closest to producing holy people. Because those monks don't care about pussy and drugs and shit like that, power. No, they just want to understand the truth, whatever it is. The christians are not like that. The christians like to brag that their message is of love, but think about all the people who the church killed in those 2026 years. Christians are not loving and caring like they want us to believe. Think about all the so called "holy wars". So the christians are definitely not the most peaceful religion out here. All Abrahamic religions are a cancer imo.
