@lemmy.oneYou make a solid point, that I fully agree with. I absolutely hate all forms of organized religion.
I made an error in claiming that religion is a good thing. I live in very secular part of the world. Maybe the type and frequency of lies (in a religious area of the world) guides you away from it.
The benefit can be reached by far better means.
And that's a good thing. Organized religion is a disgusting institution of control. Belief isn't. It's incredibly stupid, but not disgusting.
In times of trouble there's a need for god. An anchor of hope, if you will. Intellectually I agree with you completely. Furthermore, religion should never be allowed to exist if that religion won't accept other religions or a lack of religion.
I'm not religious at all. If I want people to respect that, I have to respect others right to think what they do.
Grapes and cheese is a classic combo. It could work, if you can balance acidity with the sweetness, and the saltyness of the sauce to the sweetness of the rasins.
