I’m generally saying ‘religion tends towards x’ so two twins, one raised religious, one not, you could end up with anything.
A hundred sets of twins, one in each set religious, the other not influenced by it at all; the religious ones, on average, are gonna suck more, but only on average.
I do think the concept that ‘the world doesn’t matter because its temporary and only heaven matters, therefore anything is permissible’ is terrifying, and should get you kept away from sharp objects heavy machinery and any position of authority over anything. There are a few specific points doctrine about beliefs like that, that only show up without religion in cases of extreme mental illness, and I think can skew the average of how shit people are, but they tend to differ even between people sitting on the sane pew.
You seem very intent on picking fights about this though, and the things youre arguing against are not the ones I have said. (Some I believe, some I don’t, some you could maybe stretch to being a straw man of something I believe). You don’t seem to really be arguing with me here, and me engaging with what you say seems to be mostly ignored. Are you okay?
