>Imagine there's no heaven You don't need to imagine that, heaven isn't real
>No hell below us You don't need to imagine this either, hell isn't real too
>Imagine there's no countries That's a pretty bad idea because of religious tensions and conflicting ideologies. the reason countries exist is because different regions want to be governed differently
>And no religion too Okay okay, this make not having countries much better. there are still some issues with not having countries though (i will admit having countries has it's fair share of problems too though, when one country is abusing another country).
>Imagine no possessions Wdf that's communism
>No need for greed or hunger Okay, it's good to imagine there won't be any greed or hunger in the world, but this are issues that will always remain-to some degree.
Overall, i think his best argument is against religion, because religion is extremely detrimental to human society. but i also support the concept of private possession, unlike Lennon. while it's true the current form of capitalism that is rampant in places like the US is a very sick system, the solution is not communism. i think balanced systems that combine socialism with capitalism such as social democracy are the solution

I know this is bait but personal property still exists in communism, private property refers mostly to assets that passively make you money

>I'm a free thinker True, it applies to me
>I am an individual This applies to me as well, but its kinda dumb to point out because everyone are individuals.
>Therefore i do not believe in silly, archaic doctortines or follow established religions That is true, but this does not provide the real reason to abandon religion - the fact that it's completely non-sensical and physically impossible
>I am intellectually superior That is true. im intellectually superior to alot of people, not all people though. according to IQ tests i had im intellectually superior 99% of the time

Under communism all means of production are not privately owned tho
This does not debunk my claim that religion is detrimental human society. it only means it's not the only thing which is detrimental.
If you want proof that religion is bad, go read what happened in the middle ages when religious fundamentalism was mainstream

or like in the dark ages where hordes of retards were trying to burn all of our records books and historical findings, and the church kept them locked away in castles for protection.
Nolan Turner
There are plenty of religious atrocities happening in the modern era too.
Look at Ireland during the 20th century or even in the US televangelists who are using religion to make literally billions.
I have no issue with someone being religious but it's ludicrous to say that religious people are inherently more moral.

Sure user, because the crusaders did not destroy the books and history of the places they invaded.
And the cathloic church didn't keep rejecting any scientific discovery which seemed to conflict that the biblical worldview, amiright?

The Catholic Church was pretty open to science, the conflict with Galileo was much more about politics than science. Pretty sure a preist came up with the Big Bang

The epistemology of most religions is heavely flawed and often invalid, but it's wrong to say that religion is inherently detrimental to society - some parts, yes, but the most essential parts like the value of the individual as a force of speaking the truth, approximating the Logos, is an idea that is inherently good and a prerequisite of western science.
