>the more you suffer in this life the greater the afterlife will beHow do people not see religion for the extremely obvious cope that it is?
I suffer and still I would never trade my life for yours, Billy
>>18048218>I would never trade my life for yoursI know. You're too much of a coward pussy for any kind of existentialism. You need the security blanket of religion.
>>18048223enjoy stone.
>>18048231I will.
>>18048234did it cross your mind that stone is just another variant of the christian cross?
>>18048206Is it a bigger cope than Bronze Age kings burying themselves with all of their goodies and sometimes concubines in the hope they could take it all with them into the afterlife?
>>18048240That isn't what it means at all.
>>18048244It's the same level of cope.
>>18048245not at all
>>18048248Who the fuck is this billy you keep spamming? meds
>>18048250billy is the pet name for a hater obsessed with christianity who at first shilled paganism and rebranded as an atheist after he got obliterated in every single of his threads
>>18048206Heaven and hell are not after life. That heresy is not orthodox and was invented by jews to kill people.
>>18048257You have me mistaken with someone else.
>>18048271it is you. I see your IP
>>18048273Nope.
>>18048206"cope" doesn't means it is "bad" or even that it is "false"Many religions are perfectly conscious of the fact that faith is a way to deal with suffering and acknowledge this
>>18048280>"cope" doesn't means it is "bad" or even that it is "false"Yes it does. It's inventing a fantasy to avoid reality.
Exactly. It's a cope because it redirects attention from the randomness of life to a promised metaphysical reward.
>>18048206It's useful for getting the plebs to tolerate being treated like crap which is why people like Peter Thiel are bringing it back ahead of their techno feudalist society.
>>18048206The more you suffered in this life...FOR THE SAKE OF RIGTGEOUSNESS. The more you suffered WHILE BEING INNOCENT.The wicked and unrepentant also suffer but they will get no reward, only more punishment on top of their suffering
>>18048742So a big cope like he said
christkekkery aside is the god delusion a good book?
>>18048941I say this as an atheist, no not really. It's basically babbies first dive into arguments against religion but doesn't really tackle much beyond the kind of stuff your average 80IQ southern baptist would come out with.
>>18048972what are some good atheist books then? I'm not an atheist but I wanna see both sides
I say this as an atheist, all arguments against religion are retarded, religion itself is an argument against religion.
>>18048976Start from actually reading the bible, it made me an atheist.
>>18048976I think it's generally better to read books that are more tangential to atheism like Hume rather than books explicitly on atheism itself. Atheism is more something that arises out of other philosophies rather than an explicit philosophy itself.
