god wills it
is convient
no, this is what dumb neo atheists say
That a man's pursuit of "framework' and "meaning" is a pathetic and hilarious show
"the pagans believed thor caused thunder because otherwise they wouldn't know where thunder comes from:"
it is ultimately pathetic
as we are still apes on a rock
we are just apes burning dead animals from millions of years ago
instead of apes digging in the dirt
we aren't though, we are what we are
we are apes
and reducing that to what we are not
He truly shows he isn't ready to present neither the most modest efforts to pursue either knowledge or accomplishment
isn't any significant point
Will talk to you later
later dude
"we're apes on a rock WHOA DUDE"
you will die and in 200 years, nobody living will remember you or know your name
simple as that
so what
whether I die and turn to dust doesn't matter
to the point that for humans, our lives still need a certain framework of meaning, which is religion
humans aer nothing, there is no god, medieval philosophers realized that there could not be a god
that we perceive the world in a certain fashion
when they used aristotlian logic to disprove neo-platonism
you've gone down a different track now
in the 1100s
proving or disproving stuff, philosophy, none of it matters
religion in humanity precedes agriculture
precedes any kind of social organization
religion is basically magical thinking
there's a good case for saying that humans only got together at all
"magical thinking" is real thinking
how is it real?
they're real thoughts that people had
attributing meaning and justification to various aspects of your life
but how is it real thinking?
it's how you live anyway, without realizing it
no, most people never used magical thinking, even in pre-historic times
in their dailyt life
