    it will only happen once ALL religion is banned world wide.

    Religion isn’t the cause; settler-colonialism is. Religion is just a rationalization for the underlying cause. Removing religion won’t remove Euro-Five Eyes imperialism from West Asia.

    fuck book worship

    Never thought I’d see a liberal channeling Mao.

    Socrates was right, books ruin human memory

    You misunderstand what Socrates meant.

          atheists are just as bad.

          I despise the certainty and lack of humility. you really thinking you are getting a full picture of reality is the pinnacle of hubris. But don’t let that stop you from getting that dopamine hit from not having to think for yourself. Dogma is dogma.

          To even imagine you are the culmination of evolution, rather than a link in a chain, which is what you are. There’s much more evolving to happen maybe new organs or senses…

          i believe the holiest phrase a person can utter are the words: ‘I don’t know’

          once u can utter these magic words, you can initiate a journey of learning.

          a full cup cannot be filled.

          im agnostic

            That’s nice. Congratulations on your galaxy brain.

            But you still haven’t figured out what Socrates was talking about: the ability to exercise recall, a mental skill. He was literally talking about the capacity to store & recall information.

              yeah well i was kinda of born too late to hang out in downtown athens and shoot shit with the boys.

              btw, he’s ALSO striking at the primacy of books.

          • There’s no such thing as pure agnosticism dumbass. Atheism, or at least soft atheism, is simply the “No.” answer to the question “Do you believe that God exists?”. Not “Does God exist?”.

      Thing is, religion is perfect justification. The Jews are God’s chosen people, obviously they should get the land their forefathers lived on. It literally comes from an authority higher than ANY human organization.

      Of course, Muslims will say that their version of the same God has different opinions. And Christians will have a third opinion (or a ton of them really). But it doesn’t matter. Only your version matters. And if God says it’s OK to kill gentiles, infidels, pagans, whatever and take their land, who are WE to question his supreme authority anyway? Profane authority is illegitimate in the eyes of true believers.
