How about preaching damnation to those that don't believe. You have the anti Muslim group. You also have the Christians against the Jewish population. How can you say mentally healthy when belief is based on faith and ignores facts.
You can believe what religion teaches without buying into church doctrine. The same as you can believe in the ideas promoted by the united states. Without agreeing with the hypocrisy shown by a lot of the prior acts done in the name of the united states.
Why don't you try actually quoting things in context rather than quoting them out of context? I get it, we all get it, you are a degenerate and organized religion stands as an affront to your lifestyle of debauchery and hedonism, so you take any opportunity you can to twist what someone posts so you can take a jab at religion.
Here is the actual quote, note it had caveats.
Interestingly (at least to me) the most mentally healthy people I know are current members of the clergy (using that for pastors, ministers and priests) who are not politically active and do not believe in god.
So the caveats
01) I have to know them, and I do not associate with people involved in sex scandals, however I have little doubt you do cavort with that ilk.
02) They are not into politics, hence they do not concern themselves with LGBT, as LGBT is a label created by political activist.
03) As stated they do not believe in god, so they certainly are not going to be preaching damnation, which by definition is something they would not believe in.
So what was the point of your post - oh yeah you selectively quoted so you could once again hop on your soapbox about the evils of religion. As I said, we all get it now, you are social degenerate who wants all of society to bask in the mire of decadence, perversity: just a endless series of bacchanalias. Check, got it.
Oxford commas are so totally rad!.
