hahaha
Sadly though I it is probably not possible. In the absence of traditional religion people will turn to something else to worship
they already did, they treat ideologies as a religion
yeah there are definitely a lot of things you cant question these days
Social Justice if you really think about it is really a replacement for religion, activism is prayer
but the new wave conservative religous thought is that science are the rules of god. That they are inseperable from each other in that the universe follows the rules set forward to it by their idea of a creator.
like why are little tiny blondes on TV going punch for punch with massive guys
and then winning
well physics follows a set of laws
that are unbreakable
if we have this instinct within us that we want religion, we should probably guide it towards a positive end, it probably evolved for a reason, shouldn't just suppress it
like.. even jackie chan fought bigger dudes and had to either get lucky using the environment or get smart ... or sometimes he'd just run
I fully agree with this vid about jordan
@zutt gist?
Basically his intelectual interpretation denies the blind faith on which religion is built
Similarly to what anglicans in britain did
Sometimes i wonder how much of free will we really posses. We are complex organisms, with billions and billions of microbiome and bacteria and hormones always clashing and dying and recreating again. How much that shit is affecting us every second and how clearly we can think?) Probably the more stable your bio vessel the more clearly you can think
Even to believe in what Jordan is saying, to believe that there is such a thing as God and it's worth setting your life straight to achieve that ideal and the societal consequences of that.. you have to take a leap of faith. @zutt
Religion is not entirely a bad thing. It can provide a moral guide and drive to become and seek something greater. This is provided of course religion is tempered by reason
you have to give yourself in to it, actually believe and follow the laws you've set for yourself when times are rough.
Well in my experience ppl who try to explain their faith
Are ppl with doubts
@Pondo depends on how much you are reacting vs pre-emptively changing the situiation I would think
Bingo @AdorableStormtrooper
even Peterson has doubts
it's ok to be doubtful
Well watch that video
wrestle with what you believe

Noel explains it very good
Imo
Beter then me
How many of you are holding optimistic views about all of that shit?)
Cause i think we're heading towards somth fucked up, not towards Mars and Jupiter and love and transgression
we are here for a short time man and it's just worth it to try to set things straight the best you can, even if you fail at the end of it
that's just what i believe
because, is there really anything better to do?
i guess, im in constant battle with `why do anything meaningful if im here for like 3 seconds and nothing really matters` lol
you will tear yourself apart if you don't even try
