The louder the scream and rant toxic incoherences, the more they drive people away.
The more they drive people away, the louder they scream and rant.
They are long past the point of reason and empathy on either side of the chasm they have mindlessly created. As in: they don’t have any, they don’t deserve any.
They are the opposite of wisdom, in every single respect.
While wildly optimistic, but that’d be okay by me.
More likely in my mind is that we see a bit of a resurgence in theist structures based in apocalyptic messaging after this downswing as climate change comes along and starts messing with people’s lives in a negative way. People will be desperate to attribute some meaning to why their community has no water and wildfires burned their house down.
Don’t lump me in with them. I’m a boomer and I hate religion and always have, and I am very glad to see attendance dropping as people wake up to the true horrors of such filth.

Religion is not really a problem outside USA.
‘Not saying all Americans are religious, but the majority of Americans are and they are the reason western religion is still afloat.’
When Americans all die out then religion will fade away too.
Is there a word for negatively judging all members of a demographic according to a stereotype of that demographic?

I think that’s mostly the case, I know most of the quorums of religious institutions (like here in utah with mormons) are doddering old men in their 80s - I think the’re more from the generation that came before boomers. I know a lot of boomers, and not many of them have any religious leanings.

There seems to be a trend of generating hate & prejudice between generations recently. Just blame all the ills of the world on previous or subsequent generations.
Imagine the outrage if comments made about generations were made about races or LGBT people.
If you were born into the life of the target of your hate, would you be so different?
We need more empathy & reasoned dialog in the world, not mindless division.
I appreciate that. I’ve had a lot of scorn heaped on my head for being a “Boomer,” as if it was sacriligious of me to pick being born in the 50s - surprisingly, I had very little say in it.
And I personally don’t see that I did anything to make the world worse, beyond just living my life the way every one else did. Did I support oil and gas extraction? Well I drove a car - as a kid I never even thought about such things.
Did I help pollute the earth? I came from a family of human consumers so I’m sure I did. I’m not saying we don’t deserve our share of blame.
Yes I’m an older person but I worked hard and did my best in life, I don’t know more I could do. I never engaged in fighting or war with other people or hurt anyone, if I could help it.
I have a spotless driving record, not even a citation. But no one says, “thank you for being a safe driver,” all i get are scornful comments like, “whaddya want, a metal?” “Who cares.”
You can be a good and contributing tax payer your whole life, and someone who has always treated others with respect and acted carefully, and yet still be the target of total scorn and unreasonable hate just because of the generation you came from.
Once the boomer gen is gone, modern religion in the west probably will be as well
I largely believe this too. There will still be pockets, but I do think that the time is nearly up.

It’s the realization to raise kids in an unbiased way and let them make their own choices that’s killing it
Without access to indoctrinate children as much as they want, religions will die out
With that in mind, watch how they focus more on children to try and survive. Disgusting social parasites

We all know the answer tho, to satisfy the greed of a handful of rich people

Well said. I’m from '64 so a very young boomer but strangely my younger brother is Gen X ???
Say what you want about boomers but they were the first en masse to:
