I mean it's easy to criticize the dead and buried on top of the mountain which their deeds built

2019-02-07 06:01:44 UTC  

Religion forgets itself because it prohibits questioning.

2019-02-07 06:02:05 UTC  

much of democracy around the world comes from judeo-christian principles

2019-02-07 06:02:17 UTC  

It doesn't think to restrain itself, because it isn't allowed to judge.

2019-02-07 06:02:21 UTC  

religion does not prohibit questioning idk why you think that

2019-02-07 06:02:39 UTC  

that's not a component of religion, that's a human component

2019-02-07 06:02:50 UTC  

It absolutely does. That is the root of religion.

2019-02-07 06:03:13 UTC  

An idea that is absolutely true and cannot be false, ever.

2019-02-07 06:03:37 UTC  

So everything can be rationalized or ignored.

2019-02-07 06:04:15 UTC  

no, the root of religion is to presently act as if something is true, to prove that it is cumulatively true

2019-02-07 06:04:20 UTC  

that's all there is to it

2019-02-07 06:04:34 UTC  

and there's no part of that logic that requires a lack of questioning

2019-02-07 06:04:49 UTC  

you just have to continue the act

2019-02-07 06:04:57 UTC  

Your world must be nice as fuck dude.

2019-02-07 06:05:47 UTC  

What I have seen highlights the structure that religion, at least organkzed religion, creates and necessitates.

2019-02-07 06:06:39 UTC  

I mean, one of the areas of humanity that becomes polluted with dogma, is language. And so I like to defend the principles of language to be as pure as possible, because it serves no more useful purpose otherwise.

2019-02-07 06:07:30 UTC  

to do something religiously, does not mean you cannot question the purpose behind what you are doing, those concepts are no co-dependent in any way

2019-02-07 06:07:31 UTC  

I gave a philosophy thesis/presentation on that topic.

2019-02-07 06:08:16 UTC  

I say thesis but it was more like detailed research, no experiments

2019-02-07 06:08:28 UTC  

idk what cult you were born into but the Vicar that handles Sunday school when I was forced to go was absolutely happy to have his faith questioned

2019-02-07 06:08:38 UTC  

he would discuss it like a rational adult

2019-02-07 06:08:59 UTC  

Ask him if it can be wrong.

2019-02-07 06:09:12 UTC  

yes I'll just go back in time 20 years

2019-02-07 06:09:16 UTC  

hold on

2019-02-07 06:09:58 UTC  

it's a trick

2019-02-07 06:10:00 UTC  

I'll wait, get me some vintage wine too so I can scam people

2019-02-07 06:10:20 UTC  

you shouldn't have to wait for a time-traveller <:think_madpepe:378717098630971395>

2019-02-07 06:11:16 UTC  

He might have used the method that removes him from this universe to place him into a differnt one, and yet another one when he returns.

2019-02-07 06:11:51 UTC  

And so it is possible that Turtboi came back with my wine, but in a different reality.

2019-02-07 06:12:32 UTC  

he said, and I quote; "who is this faggot to judge the entirety of religion based on his own personal poor experience"

2019-02-07 06:12:42 UTC  

that reminds me of when Zelda used her witch powers to snatch Link from another time-line, to save her time-line, and that other timeline just got fucked

2019-02-07 06:14:05 UTC  

@turtwig sup you northerner faggot

2019-02-07 06:14:16 UTC  

Who might as well be a discount scot

2019-02-07 06:14:23 UTC  

@galesteppes nm about to grab a shower then head into work

2019-02-07 06:14:27 UTC  

HEY FUCK YOU

2019-02-07 06:14:40 UTC  

A person that has the same amount of validity as any member of a religion. Thus my repudiation of it is also valid. If the Muslims and Christians and Jews get to do it, why don't I?

2019-02-07 06:15:33 UTC  

I lack interaction with any authorities from other religions than those so

2019-02-07 06:16:21 UTC  

You're also autistic so....

2019-02-07 06:16:42 UTC  

I don't mind it when religions are chill and helping communities and shit. In fact I encourage it.

2019-02-07 06:17:36 UTC  

I find it intolerable when about 50 different groups claim independently to have the moral authority of existence itself.

2019-02-07 06:18:11 UTC  

If that makes me group 51, fine.
