      I'm aware it's controversial, I just genuinely do not get why you would care.

        because when you have deeply entrenched religious indoctrination, ideas about the world, life, and reality that don't mesh with your "god" are literally personal attacks on your very identity.

        some people care about this shit more than they care about anything else. you should get rid of the assumption that things need to make sense to these people

          trust me I don't but especially if I pick up the simulation thing that also seems to concern a lot of people who aren't religious. I mean I get the religious people, it's in direct affront to the axioms you structure your entire shit around. That makes sense to me, even if I don't share the axioms.
