To be fair, religion is a much more abstract concept than people give it credit for.
Think early humans engaging in ‘shamanistic’ rituals (taking psychedelics) and trying to make sense of what they saw.
I believe a lot of the early interpretations of religion have just been bastardized by conmen and those who don’t care to understand the truth.
This is 100% true.
I like the one about not being able to save everyone who is drowning.
Some people will just try to pull you down with them.
I recommend watching ‘Undone.’ It’s another show by Bojack’s creator, Raphael Bob-Waksburg.

I feel really bad for those children being brought up by racist parents.
They have two options: either acknowledge their parents for who they are, or don’t.
Love that.
Great point.
What if you hate it but you’re really really good at it?
It’s tough to do this when others derive our self worth from possessions.
Unfortunately, a lot of self-sufficiency quotes fall short when you want other people in your life. Sometimes it just doesn’t work out that way.
I’d say that depends on who you ask.
I’m sure the fascists don’t have good intentions for the necks under their bootheels.
I can’t help but disagree with this.
Life has been remarkably stagnant ever since I was born. The more things change, the more they stay the same. It just takes a bit of time to realize it and recognize the patterns.
That’s only partially true, especially if you think about the definition of ‘company.’
It is completely possible to be in a company that cares about you. Odds are it won’t be a publicly-traded one, though.
Not everyone feels that way.
A lot of people just see themselves as support.
It’s the least thing you’ve got.
That’s really rough to accept, but I’ve come to do so.
I still think we should do our best. Nothing hurts more than losing because we didn’t try hard enough.
Interesting. As much as I don’t like this, I can’t help but acknowledge it.
The ending of Evangelion talks about it.
To be fair, freedom is being able to go out in the woods and kill an animal or build a shelter or harvest a plant.
Freedom is not relying on society to help you in anything.
That’s actually a tenant of Buddhism in order to achieve Nirvana.
Buddha was big on going ‘the middle path.’
Totally agree.
That’s good.
I like that, a lot.
