I'll listen to him when he has materially acknowledged the horrors the Church did and continues to do and dismantles the institutions responsible for those horrors.
In my way of life, the idea that people follow and care deeply about what some mullah has to say is very foreign. There's a mass of these people though. Their life must be so incredibly different than mine, it's just hard to fathom. I can't even imagine caring about the Pope or what they have to say. In my imagination the Pope is something out of roman times, it's just so weird this still exists today.
I don't see any value discussing which set of rules and outcomes is better because it's all nonsense.
To be honest, I did have some very in depth conversations with religious friends, and it was enlightening. I am convinced that for them, it has some benefits.
But I know all this stuff is totally made up, so even if you can channel it to a good thing, I personally can never do it. And even though I won't say this to their face, part of me thinks, how can you believe this stuff.
Have you actually read it? It is not a boring take. It's actually the best thing I've read on moral philosophy in quite some time. I suggest you take the time to read it.
He is right. Why should you not listen to him?
He’s not even right about whether god exists, and that’s literally his job. Why should I assume he’s competent about anything else?

Nope. Straight to hell. Do not pass ‘Go’, do not collect 200 virgins.

because he is right and he is more for the people than the dumb shit you spew out of your mouth
