@⭐ trunks ⭐ yeah idk what his basketball shit is about but
Atheism is the lack of a religion
And theism is religion
Theism isn’t inherently religion
There are religions without gods and higher powers
Theism is religion but not all religion is necessarily theism (although the vast majority is)
We know very little . We don't even know how we ourselves fare at being able to analyze what we 'know' and how we interpret it. If we are in touch with our discernment capabilities all our evidence is anecdotal. So we can't judge our bias well we can't judge the main instrument we will use- our brain -well... How can we hope to judge the data well?
That kind of stuff is cute, but when you operate in an industry upon which 'reality' is a harsh critical, like aviation, etc, things are much simpler in a philosophical context
Being a 'Type 6' atheist frees me up to think about other stuff, like the perfect batter for fried chicken or which EGT reading gives me turbines the best service life, etc
Why care about after death, when you can care about now
Our bodies may die, but our genes can live on through our children.
We live on after death through the legacies we leave behind.
Not even necessary to go that for as motivation to be nice to your kids or do worthwhile things. You can see the result of some of that effort while you live.
Maybe not if you pick some weird esoteric goal ala PsychoHistory, but I was able to know my great-grandmother very well, for example
Every generation halves the gene that you pass on
50 percent to child, 25 to grand, 12.5 to great grand and etc; not including random assortment and etc
So theocratically your descendants may be only .01 percent related to you
Passing on genes is such a stupid reason for humans to reproduce
Yeah, you're gonna be "immortal" because some of the genetic code you shot from your dick is passed on lol. And good point @3v6en8 - very quickly, whatever genes you pass on will be diluted anyways.
wat
Sure, I've gone to school before @Gerry <:GWjiangPepeThumb:407619074466643978>
Yea so his genes won’t be that diluted
I mean...lmao what makes it "your" gene anyways? How much of it changing until it's not "yours" anymore? It's not like DNA is a mini version of you running around on a microscopic level
It's very silly
People are slowly coming around to the idea that puppy mills and the like are immoral - and we should adopt our pets whenever possible (from shelters, etc)
We should extend that same compassion to human beings
He carries the genes
They are his genes
And no
Some humans are just worth less
Of course
Yeah, like breeders
Allah is the great God
Allah is the GREATEST GOD
