Even those that encourage monks to starve themselves
What religion do you think you’re talking about here? Catholic monks don’t starve themselves, and neither do Buddhist monks.
I don’t think there’s any religion that’s like that. I feel like you’re attacking a straw man.
Edit: Are you getting confused with the story of how the Buddha, pre-enlightenment, tried starving himself, and then taught that monks shouldn’t do that?
As an atheist this all makes no fucking sense.
Maybe it makes no sense because you just made it up.
I didn’t make anything up. There are people in South Asia that do these things to gain enlightenment. I do believe they are Buddhists but I may be mistaken.
I’m with ya on hating every aspect of religion, but you may be mistaking fasting for starving. The human body can survive long periods without food with no ill effects
I’ve fasted for 12 days before.
Maybe focus on the stupid shit like aan surviving being eaten by a “fish”. Or a guy building a wooden boat and getting every species of animal aboard.

You need to chill.

Or mayby probably didn’t get the memo.
Your claim was that there are religions that encourage monks to starve themselves.
Now you’re backtracking.
The fuck are you talking about??
Man fuck off.
You’re pulling a red herring.
What?
