Sage

fairly rare flag

About a year ago

I've watched shed loads of atheist Youtube videos so I thought I knew everything

>falling for the Christ meme

I've also come to realise I, as many other people, are easily susceptible to propaganda

Sup Forums helped me realise to avoid mass media. And social media (Youtube Atheism - the prevailing belief-system on the internet) is no exception

>At what age did you get over the atheism meme ? Me it took me a little while at 29years old to be exact.

Also 28-30 years.

But the reason is DUMBFUCKED CHRISTIANAIVISM from dumbfucks who do not not really understand the religion they are worshipping.

Protestant dumbfucks, to be exactly.

What doesn't mean that there wouldn't be around masses of catholic dumbfucks.

The thing is: Religion is A LOT about symbolism and metaphorism, and is a topic of PHILOSOPHY -- and only 10% of "believers" are awere of it.
And handle that topic as such.

I never could get over my fear of a hell

So your life go so shitty that you went to the very bottom of the barrel of crazy shit to save your shitty self?

Or you've developed schizophrenia and believe in magic ghosts?

Yet you'll probably end up there anyway if its real, like 90% of people who call themselves religious.

i never really considered myself an athiest i just dont know what to believe

Why are you trying to pathologise religion when it has been the norm throughout all of human history?

Are you the sane and almost everyone that's ever lived or lives the insane?

What lead you back to superstition?
Also
>being 30
>still being on Sup Forums
You seriously need to reevaluate your life.

Why do you need to watch youtube videos to stop believing in magic made up by dumb monkeys thousands of years ago?

It should be pretty fucking simple to figure it on on your own but I'm going to guess you're not too bright.

How have you figured it out?

Unlike 100% of atheists who will all burn in hell for eternity lel.

>tfw part of the 10%

I don't know if there is a God but Jesus is the coolest cat so far

Up until recently it was because humans were dumb and ignorant.

Now, to believe in this nonsense in any civilised part of the world is insane.

That's it I'm moving to Northern Ireland...the only based Ireland left

>tfw my parents are still athiest

I haven't

If there is a god its not something that us dumb monkeys has ever been in contact with or known enough about to tell everyone what he wants from us

Was pic related part of the Civilised world?

Yeah I'm sure they'll just be dying to let you in to Heaven.

1 persons opinion out of 6 million is enough to make you want to leave a country. What a big faggot baby you are. Go back to the confession box, the priest is waiting for you, alter boy.

But why christianity?

It's a pretty lame religion desu

It we are as you say merely dumb monkeys, how could we claim what we can or cannot know with any credibility?

When will atheists learn to embrace social conservatism? Lefty progress is actually infantile regress

around 26 Walter Veith Had a lot to do with it.

>If* we are

...

27 years old, when I discovered agnostic Christianity.

GOTCHA

Protestant actually...anyways I've seen enough of dumbass ex-catholics so cucked that they go to Atheism

Your Bible is probably the Communist Manifesto and vote for Nigger Loving Sinn Fein every time

Can't you just be a proper atheist ? I mean, not an antitheist (which deny the existence of god), just an atheist (ergo, doesn't believe in god) God could exist, and could not exist, i couldn't care less really. And the whole Church is just the worlds biggest scam so there's that

Wait till you discover the based minimalist hymns

What do you mean by "social conversatism"? That could mean a lot of positions one could or could not support.

...

>Tfw already on the border
It's like being in between utter degeneracy and civilization

What made you crave for the need to have faith?

Atheists usually go for "muh science"

how do you and your boyfriend cope with homosexuality being illegal where you are?

God is a superfluous hypothesis.

It's an integral part of human nature

So's murder.

I matured into agnosticism.

Only in self-defence

Humanity wouldn't exist if murder outside of it was an essential part of human nature

>Only in self-defense [sic]

[citation needed]

It's a logical inference. If murder outside of self-defence was typical of the human individual and societies, we would have annihilated ourselves long before we would have had this conversation

>agnosticism
>mature
Holy shit you can't make this up

Why not?

>y-you can't form opinions that's dumb!
>h-ha-ha i don't need to defend my position because i dont have one!!
Take a fucking side you intellectual cuckold

Then why does murder outside of self-defense persist in human societies?

I respectfully state my non-belief in God.

I do like Taoism, though.

I was never the proud atheist, just a guy that found religion silly. Still am, still do.

Because Agnosticism isn't a middle-man/mutually-exclusive, much to the chagrin of imbeciles who love to believe as such.

Sup Forums literally is propaganda, you retard.

It's an anomaly. The typical thing for a human being and group is to abhor murder outside of self-defence

The way wars of conquer, offence and aggression can happen is only when you dehumanise your enemy

>Seriously believing in a space daddy who watches over his children on one rock out of 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
If an extra-dimensional being created the universe, he didn't send his son Jesus this insignificant planet to die for our sins

>implying I browse Sup Forums outside of Christian threads

It also happens if the person lacks empathy or they have anger issues.

It's an evolutionary leftover.

>responding

I never got over atheism, I just got over being an obnoxious fedora one.
That was age 16.

Never been one to beat a drum and scream about it. I've reconciled that I'm an agnostic. And by agnostic I mean that I believe humanity needs to get powerful enough to kill God if such a being exists, because it's obvious they're a sociopathic monster that feasts on suffering.

Empathy always works in-group/out-group

As it should do. We have diverged too much for it to naturally happen otherwise

The trick is always reminding yourself of war by self-defence, rather than offence. Regardless of the barbarity of your enemy

Christianity accomplished that

I thought you said you were agnostic

>he thinks life is a result of billions of years of random events in an entropic environment
If you think your life is meaningless then so is your opinion friendo

I believe that if I am being as honest as possible, the only information either way for an unfalsifiable claim is the boolean nature of the question (it is either true or false). Where zero is certainty that there is not God and one is certainty that there is God, I am at .5. I'm not really comfortable with the 50/50 possibility that there is God. Religion has never been my cup of tea, but I respect that billions of people think it is true and I respect that it's a big part of my society that I enjoy living in. I think .5 is fair.

Based american is based.
If I was trying to start an argument, we could perhaps find some common ground in the fact that, whilst Taoism may be cool,
western fondness for it is like fondness for Indian Butter Chicken;
(An imaginary construct, pleasing to western tastes, without any authenticity of its own, and being spun from whole cloth in the adherants mind as 'eastern'... kinda par the course for most faiths really)

I was 26. Found my way back a couple years ago.

I have always been a Christian because THE BIBLE tells me too.

Plus if u admit to not being a Christian (i.e being an atheist) people r mean too you.

i dont wanna worship a white dude... or he might be jewish idk who cares

Not in this century

GO ON TAKE ME TO CHURCH I'LL WORSHIP LIKE A DOG

Why do you feel that the philosophy is vain living in a western surrounding? It's not about living the life of taoism but appreciating that there is a flow in the world. I can see it and it causes me to not react so strongly to nonsensical things.

I'm not attacking your ideas, I'm finding an issue with your methodology;

"Ill either win the lottery, or I won't. Its binary, therefore, theres a 50/50 I win the lottery."

When you have a sample size of one (universe), you don't get to make honest projections about PROBABLE universes, only ones that we can imagine as POSSIBLE, which is very much not the same thing.

Thankyou for reading.

Christians simply won't hang you for making that image. That doesn't mean that atheists in many areas aren't essentially cornered to feign belief in order to protect themselves socially.

Atheists dont understand that the fedora tip is not an argument but is simply mocking the pseduo-intellectuals who think watching Neil Degrasse Tyson youtube videos makes them intellectually superior to christians.

Stay bluepilled, user

apologys, I may have failed to communicate the ideas.

Essentially, I was (possibly guilty of a category fallacy, eg true scottsman), talking about how perceptions of Taosm are "probably false"
in the same way that modern christian isn't really christian, and that, if the 12 apostles actually existed, then THEY would be about the only followers of christ that I actually considered genuine followers of christ.

What I'm saying, in so many words is that, you're not 'born to it', and you're looking at something from the outside. Theres NO WAY I could honestly approach taosm without Weeaboo goggles on, and I don't think its that much projection to think the same of everyone else.

Not sure what your message is.

I have a bible I stole from a motel and I keep trying to read it but it's just very tedious, is there somewhere I should start besides the beginning? The whole "x beget y who beget z" thing that goes on for 2 pages straight is hard to get through.

I liked that Bible series on History so I want to read the thing

It's many times used in place of an argument by many Christians. It becomes an excuse for the Christian to tip out of the discussion. There are those that won't do this though.

You're supposed to get socially reproved for spitting on this country's historical faith

America has deist fundamentals, so atheists ought to get reproved in your country as well

>people in this thread growing out of this shit in their late 20s

Holy shit what the fuck were you doing? You realise the majority of the atheist community on YouTube and other social media are literal children and neckbeards right?

The Gospel

I've never seen someone use the term "pseduo-intellectual" without thinking "Wow. What a colossal faggot" .

Theres nothing about disbelieving or believing a claim that elevates someone into a special category. There are those who assert things they can't prove however. These people are full of shit.

I see. Essentially there are cultural nuances to Taoism that only easterners could only begin to understand. I am not sure if I fit in that category partly because I don't assume to understand it fully. I understand it to a degree introspectively; I would like to think.

I, as many others I'm sure, assimilated this Internet Atheism when we still had the minds of children

I have a lot of other information about my chances of winning the lottery.
I have zero other information about the chances of God existing.

>mfw there are people who were bullied out of their beliefs by Sup Forums

you guys realize Sup Forums only pretends to be christian because being an atheist is popular, right?

Leviticus in the old testament is fantastic if you wanted an excuse to kill a motherfucker for no good reason.

Corinthians is all about learning the jew-fu.
"Bring each thought into captivity unto god." Wow, sounds liberating.

Atheist vs creationist shit is old hat anyway and most people moved on. The new meme is islam and counter jihad

>>bullied out of their beliefs

So much for Atheism being "the mere lack of belief"

So you admit that atheists are being treated this way. Earlier just seemed like that atheists don't experience this in this century.

I feel deists are closer to atheists than theists. Many of them did not like the dogma inherent in religion. At the end of the day, we live in a secular society.

Reminder that Sup Forums is a Christian board

Is that Acts? That's what wikipedia seems to think

Most people didn't move on. They've just finished internalising it

The Atheism that took over the West is still as strong and growing at the same pace as Islam in Western Europe

Of course the two are just coincidence

>So you admit that atheists are being treated this way. Earlier just seemed like that atheists don't experience this in this century.

It's not happening anymore en masse. I wish it did

>At the end of the day, we live in a secular society.

We've lived in secular STATES for the past few hundred years. Only now are we becoming atheist

I SUPPOSE thats what I was trying to say.
But what I think I was really saying was that you're letting someone else describe their worldview to you, and shape your views.
Why adopt them?
Under taosm, the most taostic thing would be, presumably, unless I'm understanding it wrong, to ignore taosm and form your own perceptions of the universe.
Sort of like a lot of religions say, and then contradict themselves elsewhere.
Heh.
Actually I'm also trying to say that its like adopting Marxism. Lettin' 'the man' steer your course :) whoever he may be.

No...actually what I was trying to say was
"Weeaboo goggles are what drew me to thinking taosm was cool. I still think its cool, I guess, but I can admit to my ideological filter, and if I was chinese, and still had my own personality otherwise, I really doubt I would give a single fuck about the tao."

Hey, two fun facts to reward you for reading this much of my bullshit.
One: even nice ideologys can be used for evil, case in point there are ROVING GANGS OF BHUDDIST THUGS causing problems in China and Tibet,

TWO: Heres some Taost rap, from my favorite film "A Chinese Ghost story" youtube.com/watch?v=RWaKutcs3B4

TAOTAOTAOTAO!!
