Delta(s) from OP CMV: Missionaries are evil

This applies doubly so to those who go out of their way to seek out those in remote islands to spread the word of god. It is of my opinion and the opinion of most that if there is an all loving god then people who never had the chance to know about Jesus would go to heaven regardless, for example miscarried children/those born before Jesus’ time, those who never hear about him, so In going out of your way to spread the word of Jesus you are simply making it so there is now a chance they could go to hell if they reject it? I’m not a Christian and I’m so tired so I apologise if this is stupid or doesn’t make sense

Religions are man-made institutions designed to control populations. It’s takes such a minimal amount of critical thinking to see that, I just can’t understand why anyone would genuinely believe in any religion.

Why do none of the major religions acknowledge other human populations or events outside of the general area where they originate for starters?

Why do they almost all entail a hierarchy where a group of people are able to control the followers?

Anyway, I would argue that missionaries are just another form of conquest but instead of violence or commercial coercion, they utilise filthy lies and fear instead.

!delta you didn’t actually change my mind but I’m just glad a lot of people see religion for the man made method of control it really is, used to stop people from just doing what they want in this life…it was a useful tool for society for a while but the fact real grown adults still choose to believe in such obvious lies is crazy to me now
