I get why they did it, but the ultimate god for humans to worship is another human

2018-06-14 04:30:28 UTC  

@EmEm begone thot

2018-06-14 04:30:30 UTC  

Preferably one who has the power to deserve that worship

2018-06-14 04:30:41 UTC  

nah

2018-06-14 04:30:44 UTC  

you don't get it

No, you don't

2018-06-14 04:31:00 UTC  

no u

2018-06-14 04:31:08 UTC  

What better god for humans than one of their own?

2018-06-14 04:31:19 UTC  

you don't understand religious language, i can tell

2018-06-14 04:31:39 UTC  

I'm unimpressed by many people's devotion to nothing

2018-06-14 04:31:50 UTC  

that's ignorant

2018-06-14 04:31:58 UTC  

like i said, you don't get it

2018-06-14 04:32:21 UTC  

Some people devote themselves to tasks in the name of a god, and that's respectable, but just blaming/thanking god for EVERYTHING is largely pointless

2018-06-14 04:33:00 UTC  

there are arguments for most practices

2018-06-14 04:33:08 UTC  

Practices are fine

2018-06-14 04:33:26 UTC  

But just monotheism-ing all over the place is lame

2018-06-14 04:33:36 UTC  

religion is a mostly psychological exercise

2018-06-14 04:33:39 UTC  

It's not interesting to do or look at

2018-06-14 04:33:46 UTC  

it's about growth

2018-06-14 04:33:54 UTC  

some people take it too far

2018-06-14 04:34:10 UTC  

Yes, and I can think of no exercise less effective than having one explanation for everything

2018-06-14 04:34:32 UTC  

people don't leave it there though

2018-06-14 04:34:50 UTC  

At least pantheons provide some explanation for why things work against each other, monotheism as it is today is a lame cop out

2018-06-14 04:34:59 UTC  

it's a continuous process of learning and self improvement

2018-06-14 04:35:17 UTC  

It's childish "my all powerful diety is better than your all powerful diety!"

2018-06-14 04:35:29 UTC  

I see no self improvement in that

2018-06-14 04:35:47 UTC  

Just repetition of the same rituals and regurgitation of script

2018-06-14 04:36:11 UTC  

And script is fine, but it loses its value if it is used too often

2018-06-14 04:36:17 UTC  

there is a cultural aspect to religion, that is different

2018-06-14 04:36:29 UTC  

That shit is usually lame too

2018-06-14 04:37:12 UTC  

what i'm saying is, that i think you need separate that from the religion itself

2018-06-14 04:37:18 UTC  

Maybe it's better in other countries, but I can't imagine attending any of the shit-tier protestant churches here or any other stupid shit people come up with in their spare time

2018-06-14 04:37:23 UTC  

No, it's a full package

2018-06-14 04:37:34 UTC  

i disagree

2018-06-14 04:37:55 UTC  

If there are enough good parts I'll put up with some stuff I don't like, but there's nothing alluring about american Christianity

2018-06-14 04:38:13 UTC  

because it's mostly cultural

2018-06-14 04:38:31 UTC  

By which I mean protestantism in all its forms, catholicism requires more belief than I have to give

2018-06-14 04:38:46 UTC  

people who would call themselves christian might not have any real interest in it

2018-06-14 04:39:23 UTC  

Yes and that makes me not take the religion seriously

2018-06-14 04:39:31 UTC  

lol
