I’m not religious personally but TGI Fridays is a very popular after-church spot (according to all of the religious/former religious people I asked). Why are none of them mad about this?

How could they actively support a restaurant so sinful it includes a sin in the title?

      It has to do harm in itself to be an illness. Don’t tell me you don’t have your own little rituals and habits.

        My habits don’t carry a threat from supernatural forces if someone else doesn’t follow them. But you know this.

        You made a bad faith argument in support of religion.

        Which is expected. Because there are no good faith arguments for religion.

        Because there is no way a human could comprehend anything beyond our universe, and pretending you can is just a lie, a hypocritical act that can’t be proven.

        Take your bad faith to church where it belongs.

          Well why do you follow it, then? The reasons for that also apply to the reasons for superstitions.

          You made a bad faith argument

          I don’t understand how it is bad faith. Assuming something doesn’t have to be logical is no less unmoving than assuming it has to.

          there is no way a human could comprehend anything beyond our universe, and pretending you can is just a lie

          I agree. And I simply do not believe any of us can decide whether God exists or not, since that is also a comprehension. That doesn’t mean we can’t decide which comprehension we believe in more, just like we pick and choose the morals we prioritize.

          pretending you can is just a lie, a hypocritical act

          Finally, as I’ve said above, “lies” don’t have to be hypocritical.
