Hym "Quit proselytizing for a religion you don't believe in so you don't have to get a real job. That's the real fear, isn't it? That I WILL be perfectly happy with a materialistic life. Your values... Your ethics... Your morality.... All rendered moot by the man who doesn't need your 'wisdom' or your God. That's why you're being deliberately obtuse. Because when I suceed, I won't need any of you."

Hard Problem of Religion

The inevitable corruption of transcendent experience by institutional power. Religion often begins with a profound, transformative mystical insight or revelation (e.g., the Buddha's enlightenment, Moses at the burning bush). The hard problem is that to preserve and spread this insight, it must be codified into dogma, ritual, and hierarchy—an institution. The institution then inevitably becomes invested in its own survival, power, and social control, often betraying the very transformative, anti-establishment spirit that founded it. The container ends up worshipped instead of the contents.
Example: Jesus overturns the money-changers' tables in the temple, criticizing rigid legalism. Centuries later, the selling of papal indulgences (paying for forgiveness) becomes standard practice in the institution bearing his name. The hard problem: The spiritual "virus" needs a social "host" to spread, but the host's immune system (bureaucracy, dogma, politics) eventually attacks the virus. You can't have organized religion without organization, but organization seems to kill the religious spark. The result is often empty ritual, inquisitions, and wealth accumulation—the exact opposites of the founder's stated goals. Hard Problem of Religion.

Critical Theory of Religion

The application of Critical Theory to religion—examining how religious beliefs and institutions are shaped by power, how they can serve domination or liberation, and how they might be transformed. Critical Theory of Religion asks: How has religion justified hierarchy? How has it inspired resistance? What interests are served by religious narratives? Drawing on Marx ("opium of the people"), the Frankfurt School, and liberation theology, it insists that religion is never just faith—it's politics, culture, power. Understanding religion requires understanding the society that produces it—and imagining religion otherwise requires imagining society otherwise.
"Religion is just private belief, they say. Critical Theory of Religion asks: private for whom? Religion has justified empires, fueled revolutions, shaped laws. It's never just private; it's always political. Critical theory doesn't dismiss religion but asks: whose interests does it serve? Could it serve liberation? The question isn't whether you believe; it's what your belief does in the world."

Hym "We need to stop treating religion as anything other than delusion, it's making everything worse. It makes neurotic little gnomes think they're better than everyone and it's annoying. If you want to worship your little reality monster thans fine but NO I don't believe to talked to it and NO I'm not going to do what it said. I love the pageantry of it and the extended lore is interesting but, no... We're not living our lives or structuring our country based a guy who claimed to know a magic guy. If the magic man comes back, HE can tell me what HE wants himself and YOU... Can go fuck yourself."

Stay out of politics and religion

Go fuck yourself Ed Sheeran! Ginger fucking faggot! THAT! That right there is why Taylor is fucking Travis instead of you!
Ed Sheeran "Muh daddy told me 'Stay out of politics and religion' lalala I'm a ginger fairy!"

Hym "No... No. Participating in politics is my DUTY as a citizen and I'm a devout Pandeist Gnostic! I NEED to disparage their incest cult as a part of my religion! Because as Thomas Payne said 'To a Deist, the word of God is written in the laws of the universe and to Hym all scripture is a forgery.' And as a Gnostic I believe your God is evil. I have a RIGHT to express my religious views and this all perfectly coincides with things I've said in the past! Wait... Was that an Ed Sheeran song? You know what? I don't care."
