>implying the average person doesn't need religion to prevent him from being a degenerate

It works like this. Most degenerate behaviors carry objectively negative consequences for one's health and mental well-being. The thing is, the average illiterate Neanderthal doesn't quite understand the scientific or medical reasons why he shouldn't inhale white powder or have sex with a dude's butt, but he sure will restrain from those things if you tell him that a magic sky man is going to zap him down to eternal torment for it.

Have you been outside lately?
Literally everyone is wearing a Hijab

That's some crazy shit

Once again
>caring
M'lady

what does caring have to do with anything

you guys are backwards as fuck

All of you.

You have your ideologies reversed dude

Arguing about religion, especially with such a baity OP, is Sup Forums tier. That was the implication.

I can't remember the last time I saw a Muslim in full dress.

Culturally religious people > regular believers >> fedora tippers >>>>>>> hardcore fanatics

Today atheists are far more annoying than religious people, if we dont factor in muslims.

evangelicals are pretty degenerate as well desu. Needs to be more acceptance for personal religion instead of institutions or government. It's hard facing that the teachings of great thinkers and teachers which one practices are perverted by the likes of baptist and mormons.

I wouldn't mind being culturally religious if the Islamic fanatics weren't pissing me off so much with their bullshit.

Muhammad was a fucking medieval warlord with a 9 year-old wife. All these prophets are a bunch of blokes.

I don't understand religion.
I didn't realize people were actually religious until I was probably 17-18, my family and neighborhood had basically 0 religion.
I legitimately thought it was something that people used to do and no longer do besides some old people.

keep up the good work 1st worlders
when you can't drink alcohol and all women are wearing burqas you will remember christianity fondly, bunch of weak faggots.

USA is one of the most 'religious' western countries and our women are all whores

religious people= more kids
more kids= not having your country overrun by immigrants
it's a simple equation.

I don't want niggers and spics to have kids
for the first time in like 4 decades white birthrate is above black and hispanic because of abortion clinics

spics are catholic

we aren't europe

>there are people on this board who actually believe that there is no inherent meaning to our existence

why wouldn't it?
lick the feet, white man.

do you have a source for that number? i'd like to see it.
exactly.
they are religious, most americans are not. By 2050 whites won't be a minority in the US because of latinos.
>inb4 you aren't white
the logic applies to every race and country.
south african niggers (which are only slightly better) are having problems with niggers immigrating from other countries to south africa.

okay, so lets say there is

You realise shiggy diggy aka ISHYGDDT is a meme from 2011, right?

How are you this new?

I just ate for the first time in two days, as I haven't eaten for 5 out of the last six days, and now I'm going to pleasure myself to pornographic manga
Then I'll think about killing myself again before watching some slice of life anime

let me know where the meaning is senpaitachi

Historical fact
Truth
Reality

These are what makes one religion correct and others not, and these are the only things that can do that.

I couldn't find it here

did I look at the wrong place?
nothing, but most decent people are actually gnostic (they believe there is a god/creator, but not one in the molds of religion)

no it doesn't
in 2008, whites made up 53.38% of all births
in 2011, they made up 54.40%
latino decreased from 24.50% to 23.07% in the same period

>what makes your god right? why is it more right than other people's god(s)?
This doesn't matter, if and when people pray to their gods, they all pray to the same god. They just have different folk tales for each. Faith is merely a small part of religion anyways, the main thing is culture.

Who is this? I see this face shopped onto images all the time.

proofs?

>they all pray to the same god

Says who? Is God a trinity, or not? He can't be both a trinity and not a trinity.

The only thing that can validate a god is the manner in which his followers exert their own will on the world, because no gods exist, they're just a vehicle for the will of a people

I really think the truth of the meaning would only disappoint you and the answers given in religion are pretty much all lies. But you can always take solace in being a good person.

>they all pray to the same god
Came in here for laughs and am not dissapointed.

If you're not going to defend your retarded argument then I'll just assume that you can't.

assburger

I find it impossible to believe in God, it just makes no sense to me.

Hijab is literally made for Australian climate

...

>because no gods exist

Oh, wow, nice argument.

>dude lol the universe just came into existence lolll dude just random i swear lol

I remember having arguments with people on Sup Forums because I was agnostic solely because Sup Forums was 100% pure atheist

until reddit's atheist subforum became popular
then Sup Forums was suddenly religious.

>post a literal meme
>newfag consfuses it for an argument
top wew, lurk moar

Looks like I was right.

confuses*
my b

dude.... i just like.... feel.... that god exists.... lmao....

Considering 99% of the observable universe is just arbitrary processes that aren't really accomplishing anything with significant meaning that's not a difficult stance to take. If the universe was created why did whoever or whatever create it decide to exert so much energy and time filling it with nothing? It just sits there.

Sup Forums is being flooded with new people, I don't even know what's happening.
They keep posting all the "are you guys REALLY racist?" threads too, you can tell because they don't understand any of the "board culture" at all

>Says who? Is God a trinity, or not? He can't be both a trinity and not a trinity.
This is irrelevant and a triviality unfortunately created by the early catholic church for some strange reason. God is an abstract concept much like what says, what man says he is doesn't mean anything. What I says he is doesn't mean anything. "God" might as well be the fundamental forces of the universe like gravity, electromagnetism etc.
Why? It doesn't really make sense to believe that there is a pantheon of gods which are specific to one of each of the 10,000~ religions. If there is a single god who's creation is humanity, whenever any member of humanity prays, why would their worship go to anyone but the creator.

Even if God is real, it's impossible for man to comprehend him.

So it's all fucking pointless to argue about.

Go figure out what it means to you.

Where is the universe?

by this argument then it doesn't matter if you worship or not because they're all wrong

Matthew 24:5

Jesus warned you of phony "holy" men.

Occam's razor that shit, it makes far more sense that most all religious worship is simply false over a god we can't feasibly quantify existing that everyone directs their prayer to indirectly.

it's the Sup Forums influence, most people on that board are new posters with a large overlap with reddit

>"no it has some purpose definitely...we just don't know it yet"
>"god works in mysterious ways, man"

...

heh you sure showed them
now hurry up and lick jamal's feet

i don't understand the logic of anyone that claims that they can comprehend the universe

this includes atheists

Somewhere awkwardly sitting in a of complexity we don't know the bottom or top of.

This shouldn't be funny.

*scale of complexity

I guess the time has come.

KKKhristians are the people who use ancient story books as a justification for preventing two consenting adults in love from marrying because their ancient book says that you may only use your penis in ways that some bearded sky ghost approves of.

...

ban masturbation NOW!

worshipping is senseless, culture is what matters. You can learn a lot from the philosophers who have come and gone. Like my main man James once wrote:
biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James 2:14-26&version=NKJV

You are all getting the wrong idea of what I'm trying to say. What I'm getting at is that you can learn more by listening than blindly following any doctrine, and it's best if man were to live by discipline and principle instead of wasting so much energy on being religious or atheist fanatics debating on trivialities like if a story is real or not, or who's god is less real. No one finds a problem telling their kids the story of little red riding hood to teach them not to speak to strangers, likewise it shouldn't be an issue telling kids of when Jesus argued with the pharisees who criticized him when he was doing good deeds on the sabbath.

The universe is where everything that is not within the universe isn't.

This honestly.

>The universe is where everything that is not within the universe isn't.

Absolutely meaningless.

my dick is the universe

seriously though, thats as good an answer as any

CURRENT YEAR

>2016
>doesn't know a five year old meme

Are the mods asleep?

Of course it is, it's a mathematical answer based on set theory, and one should be satisfied with the answer because we're never ever ever going to get a better one.

I am honestly troubled by this often, all of this is accomplishing NOTHING. At least nothing from what we can see. It all just sits there. I feel like consciousness is a fluke, not necessarily that we weren't supposed to wake up but that the universe never really accommodated for anything waking up. There is so much fucking space for nothing. If nothing conscious ever existed it would still just sit there and finish out it's processes and then die out. An ant is already so tremendous compared to an atom, how did shit expand so much that it ended up like THIS? THIS MUCH FUCKING NOTHING. Impossible to even comprehend this much nothing.

Sup Forums doesn't have mods, come on sillypenis

A janny is """""cleaning""""" our general.

it's nothing because you think it's nothing

Which is why I said our consciousness feels like a fluke. It could be serving a purpose but we have no idea. To us it's just a bunch of energy, we can't do anything but look at mostly all of it. I feel like it's the main reason a god wouldn't exist, at least not a moral one. Why would they care about us but make us in a universe where we hardly fit? It could be scaled down by a factor of how many and the same effect of awe would be given.

I think the janitor is an American from St. Paul, Minnesota who is throwing a fit because he doesn't think /asean/ is """quality"''" enough

you can believe in something that could constitute a god/s while also believing that our existence is a fluke and we are insignificant

you are very anthropocentric

But that belief would be entirely meaningless. It certainly wouldn't serve any purpose towards whatever that god was, at least from what we can tell from our current situation. Should I do a backflip at 3:37 AM every day just because. I could but it wouldn't effect anything. Belief in these circumstances is completely arbitrary and self created.

>Should I do a backflip at 3:37 AM every day just because.
Why not?

I really hate the "you can't get something from nothing" argument, because that isn't at all what scientists hypothesise happened. The thing is, we know the universe was an infitessemally small point which expanded outward and eventually became the thing we have today, but before that we have absolutely not a damn clue.

We have guesses, like that the universe expands and contracts infinitely, going through big bangs and collapsing to the singular again and again, and it's just as likely as any other hypothesis that a being somehow caused it, but what isn't likely is that said being knows or cares about complex little biological machines on a speck of dust on the arm of a little swirling cloud.
