Cool. I dropped another nihilist truth bomb in the China thread if you want more lols. I'm sure somebody is going to go after me for not thinking random Chinese people should stand up to the CCP on Facebook "because it's the right thing to do". I got a big enough stash, I'm going after all ideology. Pretend like I'm that dude in Mad Max huffing poo poo speeding into a shitstorm. Witness me! (On the internet, from the safety of my home, to people who'll never change their mind because being wrong is the worst fate of all.)

the problem is people can't accept things having no reason because it's a just world drat it and that's why I'm lower middle class instead of dying in an African slum.

if there's no reason why am I working 80 hours and alone??? No, no, there must be some grand struggle out there that desperately needs me. If I shitpost hard enough I'll justify my existence.

This is the best answer to give an Atheist at a party after you told him you believe in God so he can furiously try and attack your belief system while you get to just be the chill bro who's also sensitive being like "I just want people to be happy ya know?". Then turn to a babe and be all like "did you know god said all seeded plants were his gift to man? But I think he really meant like, all people not just men you know? Here, try this J."

Basically rabid whatevers are the best unintentional wingmen you can find. Bonus points if you end up plunging the girl he was obsessing over while he's trying to prove something to drunk people. Though I tend to be slightly against whatever the status quo belief system is, so I can help nice sexy young people get back at their dad but not enough to threaten their actual beliefs.

I guess ultimately there is a reason to everything, and that reason is getting high and getting laid. Pretty much all sex is good, but some highs are better than others.

there are good things religions do, like "do unto others as you would have done unto u". That makes sense and is good

religion isn't actually the problem, I think it's the adherents that are the problem

also I'm not even remotely religious I've just grown out of the "loving religious people are retards" stage and realized that religion actually serves a purpose

good people will do good things

bad people will do bad things

it takes something like religion to make good people do bad things

lol what purpose does it serve that couldn't be filled just as easily with a doctrine that isn't completely pants on head retarded poo poo?

Darth123123 posted:

Is unorganized religion better?

Yeah? Every 'spiritual' or 'religious but non denominational' person I've met just keeps that poo poo to themselves unless you ask and they are way more mellowed out about it. I've never seen some ex-methhead yelling about a mysterious lifeforce/entity damning me to hell forever.

What's organized religion? A way to extract money from poor people while keeping them just sedated/happy enough to not worry how hosed they are getting every day?

At best you could say it fosters a sense of belonging and community but that's still kinda weak because it's not like you can't get that elsewhere.

look believe what you like but if your doctrine involves bothering unbelievers about it then it and you are stupid and that includes 'radical atheism' or whatever

My faith is somewhat evangelical and I feel driven to spread the good news out of love for others and love for God, but I recognize attacking people's beliefs and trying to debate them into conversion doesn't work.

I prefer to, and pray that, through my actions and choices and the way I live my life, particularly towards others, that I may reflect or shine the grace and love and truth of God that I know in my heart, that by following God's law to love others, something may stir in their heart and perhaps they might open themselves up willingly.

The best way to evangelize is to walk in faith and follow in the footsteps of Christ, love thy neighbor, love thy enemy, forgive others, all that.

Personally I am more comfortable with the solitary monk style of worship, partially because of my severe anxiety around others, but I recognize the purpose of communion and as a communist well it's all too obvious that seeking fellowship with other believers is a good thing.

Solidarity is good in general.

Organized religion simply offers th structure and support to help one along their spiritual path because it's a very difficult and often confusing path, but I understand the hesitance people have because my own early church experiences made me sour towards religion for a good chunk of my life to the point where I was full blown dick Dorkins

You see, I would get on board with Christians if y'all were a little more John 2:15. If Church was about whipping bankers with a braided cord I'd go three times a week.
