is a tulpa a stand from jojo?
Hardly anyone's seriously religious these days. Everyone (literally) who cringes at religiously zealous atheists does it secularly
The problem is people thinking they're saying something brave and against the grain with these statements and coming across kind of ignorant and self-important
Example: Trump is bad. Yes we know. Saying "Trump is bad" on comedy television for an hour isn't actually comedy it's pandering.
Other example: complaining about religion/religious people. Unless you're complaining specifically about muslims, jews, hindus, catholics, or talking degradingly about the culture you grew up in
tulpas are dangerous and not to be trifled with
I spent thousands of hours starring at a blank cave wall exploring the dark recesses of my mind only to wind up with @casey defiling my innermost sanctums continually reminding me about how much more money he makes
He also cucks me during erotic dreams and I can't get him out of my head
nah it is pretty middleschool cringe lol
to be fair the Christian girls I made fun of in middle school were evolution denying tardos
It was fun to make fun of the christos when i was 15 yrs old but i was at an all christian school so i deem it acceptable
Religion is not worth dwelling on unless theology is an interesting topic for you
Anybody pretending to understand at a deep level what hell is going on is presumptuous and that applies to aethists as well
i mean its not like i would belittle them about it in person its just a feeling i have
i dont see how its cringe to find the imaginary man in the sky retarded
Why do you think sapes have the capacity to experience profound religious experiences?
honestly? probably a built in coping mechanism in our brains to help us ignore our impending death and lead productive lives
seems like a pretty reasonable evolutionary trait
doesn't mean its real
have you tried sufficient amounts of psilocybin or 4 aco dmt or n n dmt or 5 meo dmt or lsd
the god(s) you meet through those = crazy
God hates me, He told me through a series of visions, and I understand the sentiment
(not an exhaustive list of substances that help u meet god)
god bullied me all my life, that's why i reject him. Fuck you, God!
gay niggas
like you have to understand i am NOT the guy who is randomly bringing up religion in social gatherings, ranting about it
i don't do that
really the only time i would mention it is if somebody else does first
im just sharing my feelings about it here
that post wasnt about you
I still think you have an ego problem if you think you're better or smarter than others for not being religious. more then half of this world is still religious w/ thousands of religions.
eh its not really about me or if im superior to anyone, its just how i feel i think religion is really stupid and it's super telling that most of the religious people in the world were brainwashed that way as kids
it's like making kids believe in santa clause, only you never tell them he isn't real
there are so few people that actually become religious as adults its like a tiny tiny fraction of religious people most of them were just raised that way as kids and never grew out of it, i think that speaks to how fundamentally stupid it is
as for lots of people being religious, sure, but there's a direct correlation between income and amount of religious people, for example iceland sweden and finland are some of the least religious countries in the entire world and India and Africa are some of the most. i dont think the fact a lot of people are religious gives it any type of credibility at all.
I don't know, it's perplexing and doesn't seem like a very good evolutionary strategy to me. I think evolving with the inability to sink into pits of nihilism and to very easily ascribe self-directed purpose without reliance on some perhaps deliberately misinterpreted external sensory input would have been better.
Why do you have to play tricks on yourself to cope with mortality?
