There are two kinds of people

There are two kinds of people

M'LADY

>those who understand deep metaphysical ideas without the ability to articulate them in a sophisticated way
>those who can articulate mundane trivia but are too angsty/retarded to understand that humans are religious creatures with mythological symbolism embedded in our DNA

Basically.

>psuedo intellectual mouth flapping
or
>a actual fact

>mythological simbolism embedded in our DNA

Yeah, no, it's just ignorance and superstition mixed to the existential need of knowing what our purpose is

That said, Ovid wrote that "It is convenient that there be gods, and, as it is convenient, let us believe there are". We need religion, as it's an easy way to spread moral values to dumb people, but let's just stop pretending it's anything more than that.

Those that convey complex philosophical thought through allegory and those that take everything literally?

Fedoras will be wiped out soon enough.

>It is convenient that there be gods, and, as it is convenient, let us believe there are

you have actually just proven his point

>what is connotative meaning

Archetypal imagery is genetic, that's why similar myths exist in vastly different cultures.

A very long time ago, religion might have had evolutionary advantages of bringing people together to cooperate under a common belief system. However, evolution is blind - it could not foresee what has become of religion now.

Religion might have served a purpose in the past, but now it's a hindrance to scientific progress at this point.

Also, as usual everyone on Sup Forums has to act the part of edgy contrarians. Since the vast majority of rational, intelligent people do not believe in god, Sup Forums users have convinced themselves that atheism is a joke or conspiracy. That's why this thread will be filled with fedora memes and general bullshit.

>Archetypal imagery is genetic
Congrats, with one phrase you've proven that you know nothing about genetics beyond the buzzword-commoner idea of genetics.

>knowing what light is means God isn't real

Weaboos and numales?

That had nothing to do with his point.

>understanding that light is…
But that's wrong. Those are characteristics of the phenomenon called light. We have no fucking clue what light IS.

>now it's a hindrance to scientific progress at this point
elaborate

>Reeeeee atheism is just a phobia of God, religophobes!!!
Of course Sup Forums would side with the fucking weeb. Both people are cringy, and I'm pretty sure most people just don't care about religion anymore because there's no tangible reason to keep believing.

"Packets"

>no tangible reason to keep believing

And so we believe for the intangible reasons...?

you mean parroting science facts doesn't make up for a lack of intelligence or personality? next you'll be suggesting that thinking is good and electronic overstimulation is bad.

>We have no fucking clue what light IS.


They're fucken packets, dood.

Modern science has gotten to the point where new research is at odds with traditional religious beliefs. It is difficult for people to change key parts or all of their belief system, so they push back on the research instead. This is why we have elected congressmen who believe that the Earth is 6000 years old and pass laws allowing public schools to de-emphasize evolutionary theory in favor of creationism.

It's not like Jesus Christ is walking around today performing miracles and turning skeptics into believers, so yes there is no tangible reason to keep believing.

Atheists are insufferable beta virgins

Yeah thats gay. The word "packets" also appears on the first page of a photons goohle search so the dude obviously didnt know how to explain it and looked it up first

Energy dude. The same thing thatvis released when a phospate is broken off of an adenosine triphosphate molecule. Pure energy

Implying we need more technical progress.
Fuck off you gay ass technician.
Quit deforming what it means to be human

Anime poster vs atheist poster
The final battle when?

Muh science is a shitty ideal. I can't think of a single reason it should be the highest virtue.

We don't know what energy is either. We have a good understanding of what it does (although it is unknown how much we still don't know), but that doesn't mean we understand what it is.

We don't know what any of this shit means, in science meaning is first in the row for censorship.
Basically, u can drive any concept into banality, other than the one of sole existence and the awareness of it

...

...

humans are fundamentally tool makers. we ARE technicians. if you want to get spooky, humans are actually a sophisticated piece of technology.

what we need is not less technical progress, but a different kind of technical progress.

What's the Final Solution to the atheist question?

a dog who does not roll over when you attack it is either trying to show you god or trying to see god

Evidence.

>ambiguous platitude
vs
>unequivocal statement regarding facts

...

They dont want a final solution. Atheism is a filler for religious frustration. Thats why atheism only exists to bash christianity.

>fucking autistic atheist niggers

>this thread

christcucks will never learn

I really have a great sympathy and hatred for people who cannot understand poetry.

>atheists
>understanding physics
It's a proven fact that the majority of "atheists" are just edgy faglords who are mad at their parents and think this is the best way to get back at them.

that's called object permanence desu

How can you be such a boring cuck?

Where do they think photons come from? Some called it field others a god. The fact that something exists at all is proof God exists.

Theist hottie girlfriend?

...

that diagram does a great job explaining atheists' fear of a reality outside of human observation

too bad you fall back in science shit in the end of your post otherwise i agree
