I used to think people joined religions because deep inside their heart they wanted to be good people.
The truth is they don’t care about being good. They just want to be right. Religion is an excellent echo chamber with strong, hearty walls to prevent any kind of reason from interfering.
The Vatican continues to be full of abject hypocrisy. Why do people still believe in catholic dogma?

Almost no one voluntarily joins religions to begin with. They’re groomed into them from childhood.
People rarely join religions. They remain in them because they’re afraid.
Since all dogmas come ripe with hypocrisy, Catholicism is just one of many.
They were indoctrinated as children. To leave is to abandon what you’ve known you’re whole life.
Yeah well I left the church because it was obvious to me what was happening. And I’m no genius.
I don’t understand how people can make such an obvious lie such an important part of their lives and just… live with it.
I guess getting over the hell fear was hard. But living with the lie was harder for me.
