      Young earth creationism

      What I hate so much about that, is all the “evidence” just points to some near extinction level event that humans worldwide suffered.

      And obviously for that to have happened, it means there had to be a lot more people.

      Like, entire cities/tribes/whatever were wiped out everywhere, but some had individuals survive. Which explains how “the last two people” could have kids who just happen to later have spouses and kids of their own without any explanation for where the new people came from.

      They were just outside of walking distance.

      Over the 300,000 plus years anatomically modern humans have been on Earth, that’s probably happened a bunch. Hell, we’ve had 2-3 actual ice ages over that span.

      We don’t know shit about 250k of those years.

        From what I understand (and as a Christian), it’s those Christians that take a literal reading of the Bible, not understanding that those parts of the Bible aren’t meant to be read literally but are about the WHY of creation rather than the HOW. It’s about WHO God is rather than how He did things.

          Either that or Genesis is just an explanation made up by a people group that had little to no idea how anything in the natural world works lol

        I always thought 2 Peter 3:8 basically addressed this issue.

    Child labor.

    Despite progress, child labour still affects nearly 138 million children worldwide

      Affects is such a strange way to put it. Like, “they caught a case of child labor.”

    In the USA: complicated tax returns that require tax software and/or professional help. It’s a rent-seeking scam.

      The complication is mostly determining what actually counts as income and the insane amount of deductions and credits you might be eligible for.

      For most people a simple standard deduction is very easy to file, and can be done on paper in 15-30 minutes. But I agree that this is still too complicated.

      I kinda get it. Everyone needs something to look forwards too. Sadly, for some, there’s only the idea of afterlife for that.

      Religion isn’t necessarily the problem, people (as usual) are.

        All religion is baseless bullshit, so yes, it is problematic in itself.
        It is divisive by nature/design.
        And it is made worse by people abusing it for power over others or discrimination.

        at best its a waste of human energy and maybe good for those that require that emotional crutch

        your argument is the same for guns, which we as a species should also mature out of
