    I don’t care how unpopular this opinion is, but all religions are fucking stupid, and this is just another bullet point in the list of stupid shit zealots do to maintain control over the masses. Oh, you’re losing your young people to atheism and science? Better give them a role model and make a fucking saint out of a junior web dev with a geocities site. Holy shit.

    Actual holy shit.

      Religion is wild. When i tell people that i don’t drink alcohol they think it’s either for religious reason or because i’m a former alcoholic. When i tell them that i simply don’t like it, i’m weird. Somehow it’s less weird to not drink because of some pedo magic man from the past said i’m not allowed to.

        Just tell them you’re not drinking alcohol for health reasons. Nobody will really disagree with you on this.
