autists*

2017-05-02 22:14:31 UTC  

You mean like parables like "Cain and abel" "the prodigal son" etc?

2017-05-02 22:14:37 UTC  

You need spirituality tbh

2017-05-02 22:14:47 UTC  

yes exactly

2017-05-02 22:14:53 UTC  

the flood myth for example

2017-05-02 22:14:57 UTC  

recorded in at least 10 other cultures

2017-05-02 22:14:58 UTC  

Else youre a fucking husk

2017-05-02 22:15:07 UTC  

Oh yeah there's definitely moral values embedded in the literature

2017-05-02 22:15:21 UTC  

WHITE HISTORY IS ONE OF SPIRITUALITY

2017-05-02 22:15:29 UTC  

YOU CANT DIVIDE THEM

2017-05-02 22:15:44 UTC  

ya thats all I meant

2017-05-02 22:15:51 UTC  

The whole point of religion is to establish a moral standard

2017-05-02 22:16:11 UTC  

For a stable society you need that

2017-05-02 22:16:17 UTC  

Like it or not christianity is tied to our culture

2017-05-02 22:16:31 UTC  

ATHEISM IS COMMUNISM

2017-05-02 22:16:37 UTC  

Otherwise you get a buch of narcissistic hedonists who lack any culture

2017-05-02 22:16:38 UTC  

ITS A TENET OF COMMUNISM

2017-05-02 22:16:45 UTC  

FUCKING COMMIES

2017-05-02 22:17:13 UTC  

Communism is a religion. It replaces religion which is why it seeks to oppose it

2017-05-02 22:17:35 UTC  

the Bible is the best synthesis of Western/European/White culture and history, including metaphysical/mythological truths starting from Babylonia, to Egypt, to Greece, Rome, Germanic/pagan tribes etc, it is literally our greatest achievement IMO, without it we wouldn't have a concept of a pan-White European race (used to be called Christendom)

2017-05-02 22:17:55 UTC  

yeah exactly communism is a religion , a spiritually void one, it idolozes leaders

2017-05-02 22:18:14 UTC  

Being an atheist doesn't mean you're against religion as a concept. I think it's very helpful to instill proper values in a moral society.

2017-05-02 22:18:43 UTC  

No not necessarily you are right but, most atheists happen to think this

2017-05-02 22:18:45 UTC  

and

2017-05-02 22:18:47 UTC  

Personally I see religion as necessary "training wheels" for moral development

2017-05-02 22:18:55 UTC  

they idolize other things because they dont have God to idolize

2017-05-02 22:21:07 UTC  

The Christian religion is the highest development of our species, though others are also useful , but religions are not means to an end, they are not "training wheels" for moral development... the reverse is the case, adopting a religious life is the highest of goals, all things like morality, spirituality etc will naturally follow from it

2017-05-02 22:23:19 UTC  

Once you are capable of truly understanding the concepts that religion is meant to represent, it has served it's purpose. What more is there to say of the concept of "God" once you understand why that concept exists and what purpose it serves?

2017-05-02 22:23:42 UTC  

because God is not understandable/comprehensible

2017-05-02 22:23:52 UTC  

you cannot just understand it an move in

2017-05-02 22:23:54 UTC  

on*

2017-05-02 22:24:15 UTC  

you need to constantly communicate daily to not only understand but feel and sense God in all ways

2017-05-02 22:24:27 UTC  

God is not a concept he exists a priori

2017-05-02 22:24:33 UTC  

I dunno, maybe I'm just not on that level, spiritually

2017-05-02 22:24:51 UTC  

I was atheist for over twenty years

2017-05-02 22:25:08 UTC  

but everybody is on a spiritual path

2017-05-02 22:26:39 UTC  

over time some people either go more towards God or against him, for me everything brought me towards Him to the point that I experienced Him very explicitly and believe, if you don't believe in God you cannot really have a clear grasp of his nature (believing in Him will not give you this either but it will clarify it at least a bit)

2017-05-02 22:26:43 UTC  

but

2017-05-02 22:27:03 UTC  

if you don't believe but recognize the value of the tradition, morality, myths, purposes etc

2017-05-02 22:27:10 UTC  

thats good enough just keep following that

2017-05-02 22:27:35 UTC  

Personally I lean towards concepts of Reason and evidence. Things I can grasp in my mind and have a solid foundation in fact. I Fully respect and admire the concept of religiona nd God but personally I've never really "felt" that connection there as others may, so I tend to avoid delving too deep into it
