You want to stop people from having belief or imagination?

No, I want people to stop having religion or at least stop having real religion. The fake woo woke new ones are usually harmless enough.

Nothing I have ever said should be read as me arguing that people should be forced into not having religion.

Put another way: I want everyone to be healthy, I do not want to force anyone to go jogging.

What are you talking about?

I want other people to….. fuck off and let people be themselves, if it’s believing, dreaming, unhealthy or not real Religion in your opinion, what’s it got to do with you?

Perhaps you stop wanting other people to do something and you do something to help your mind.

Go tell the Iranian government that. I am not the one forcing my religious views on to people.

What?

You want people to behave how you want them to, the Iranian gov wants people to behave how they want to.

You are the same - look in the mirror

Yes, wanting people to live free is exactly the same as wanting to live under an Islamic theocracy.

Hey, how about you spend 30 seconds reading what I wrote instead of what you want me to have written, ok?

Yes, I want people to stop having religion. Voluntarily! Just like, as I explained, I want people to be healthy.

Iran in particular? I would suggest the world democracies start spending money on sitcoms, dramas, movies, videos, etc. showing Iranian actors and actresses living normal life either without Islam or at most diet-Islam. Then pump that shit into there. Show a million examples to the people there that there is another way to live life. A vast propoganda campaign that advocates for lifestyles instead of nation states. The one thing the west can still make the best is content.

It would cost pennies to any national government let alone the NATO alliance. So much cheaper than any war. Also we really do not have to worry about them doing it to us in kind. Yes, you are now picturing those D.A.R.E programs you watched when you were a kid but trying to convince you to wear a Hijab. "Hey fellow kids, (says the bearded man), it's neato to wear a face covering. I did drugs but now I am high on Allah".
