Name one single religion that it's basis is not dude trust me bro
>>18494666reminds me of darwinism
>>18494666Christianity
>>18494666There is none. Probably at most something like Freethinkers, agnostics, or atheists, but none of those is a religion.>>18494715AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAAA
>>18494666Theravada Buddhism, kinda. You're not expected to take anything by faith or just because the Buddha says so. You only believe what you examined to be true yourself. But in practice, if you don't find much of the metaphysics to be true upon examination, then you would be hard pressed to still call yourself a Buddhist.
>>18494666BEGONE SATAN!
>>18494756Satan isn't real.
>>18494666who's that?

>>18494666Any religious practice based on putting the participant in an altered state to experience divinity/spiritual contact. They are "dude trust yourself bro".
>>18494666That one religion where everyone just shuts the fuck up and deals with the friction between being a sensitive self aware consciousness and the indifference of the buck breaking world. What is that one called? Atheism? Nihilism? I don't give a fuckism?
>>18494752I agree but still, seems like you need to devote your life to it just to realize metaphysics like emptiness or karma first-hand, to the point where you're either relatively close to being fully enlightened or find out you've wasted your life gone down a dead-end
>>18494666>Name one single religion that it's basis is not dude trust me broTrust itself?

>>18494666Name one single belief that isn't dude trust me.They tell me there is an ocean far to my west. They tell me it's called the pacific. They say it's largest on earth. They tell me seals live there. I have no way of knowing any of this besides people tell me.That goes for bascially all knowledge
>>18494666Satanismchecked
>>18494969>Buddhism.>sujato translations
>>18495932>I have no way of knowing any of this besides people tell me.you can go and check yourself moron
>>18494666Melanesian Cargo Cults
>>18494666Those who keep the laws and commandments of God and humble themselves before him will actually experience him.
Thelema.
Religion? Nah, everything is dude trust me bro. aaaall the way down bro.
>>18494752Is it in Theravada or only in Mahayana that has the Buddha claiming to have been able to walk through walls, that he is immortal (despite dying of food poisoning), that there are only four continents, etc?
>>18496150Bro wants to experience another dude lmao
>>18496150I love the way religious people insist that of the thousands and thousands of religions that exist theirs is the one that happens to be the correct one and their evidence is always either 1. their religion is popular so it must be true or 2. their stories say that they're true so they must be true.it's not just christians, it's almost anyone. faith is really scary, I don't trust anyone who says they know for certain what our purpose is or what is going to happen to us after we die because those are the people most likely to fuck you over since they can assure themselves that whatever will come after this life will be beneficial for them.their god says to martyr themselves so it's okay if they kill a bunch of people.atheists aren't exempt from this either. if you're assured that nothing comes after death then it's easy for a person to just go "well if nothing matters then when I die I'll be exempt from everything" and then do horrible shit before offing themselves.that's what I mean when I say faith is scary.
>>18496434>atheists aren't exempt from this either. if you're assured that nothing comes after death then it's easy for a person to just go "well if nothing matters then when I die I'll be exempt from everything" and then do horrible shit before offing themselves.The funny thing is this is a christcuck talking point and they can never point to a single fucking time in history where a lack of religion has led someone to decide that they can commit amoral acts with impunity. In fact the inverse seems to be true where people who do not believe in religion can't justify heinous acts with the lie that some higher power wants them to do it, and the fact that there is no afterlife means that logically people should be kinder to each other now.>inb4 muh communismIn communism the state is god, it absolutely is a religion
>>18496454>In communism the state is godThe state doesn't exist in Communism. I get what you're trying to say but you're dumb
>>18496513>The state doesn't exist in CommunismIt literally fucking does. Unless you're trying to say "true communism has never been tried!!!!" if you're that type of moron, I'm sorry but we have had multiple communist revolutions in multiple countries across the world and they all turn out the same: completely totalitarian states
>>18494666dunno. but looking back at this shit we have wrought, there looks to be a pattern where the religion appears when the surplus appears. the surplus gives rise to the scammers and grifters - these are rewarded for the most intricate unfalsifiable stories. become the voice of god, get people to give you free shit.
>>18494666The Stoics tried to come up with one based on their observations of nature. Influenced Christian theology in quite a few ways.
>>18496537Anon, a communist society literally lacks these three things; a state, money and private property. If any body calling itself "communist" has any of the above three then it is not communist. Is it REALLY that complicated? I'm not arguing for the efficiency or the feasibility of "Communism"nor am I saying that "it works".Let me be clear,Communism= Moneyless, classless and stateless society Socialism=Public ownership of the means of productionMarxism=The economic theory or ideology that suggests the use of socialism as a transitionary phase to achieve Communism.Yes, we call the USSR, China etc etc "Communist" for the sake of ease but if we really be real about the technicality they are in no way shape or form communist. Since they have all three; Money, a state and private ownership.
>>18496592You could have saved so much time by just replying "yes I'm one of those true communism hasn't been tried morons"
>>18495951you can go and check if gods real after you die
>>18496617Am I wrong?
>>18496592Besides socdems being retarded>>18496617 is right
>>18496632Yes, you are wrong.Think of it this way. Instead of being a political and economic theorist, your a medical technician. And you come up with a cure for a disease, lets say it's cancer. On paper it sounds great, most effective cancer treatment ever invented, cures every form of cancer there is, no adverse side effects whatsoever, a true miracle. You name your miracle drug anon-pill. It gets to human trials and we're finally going to see it in action- except, oh no anon-pill is horribly horribly toxic and all the trial patients fucking die.You can kick and scream all you want that REAL anon-pill wasn't supposed to work like that, but the fact of the matter is that every time it was ever fucking administered it failed to cure cancer and it killed the patient.If your hypothetical communism constantly results in the real life communism we observe, then it is not useful to say it wasn't "real" communism because what you're saying is "real communism" is meant to work rather than fail, so any failed communism can't have been real
>>18496557Any books they wrote on this or good posthumonous compilations?
>>18494679>small changes lead to large changes across millions of yearsNigga we can SEE adaption and evolution occurring in a human lifetime, how is seeing it on a geological timescale so crazy?
>>18494666Adonitology
>>18494666Cargo cultsWhite men speak strange words into tiny altars while performing rites in a very specific way and building large structures that they claimed allowed them to communicate with a superior person far away.Days later they receive boxes of food and other items of immense value from the sky.
>>18494666Not today, Satan.Also >great body ruined by butterface
>>18494955Neither is your biological father
>>18497004>t. non-science fagThe theory of evolution explains how small mutations develop that help creatures better adapt to an environment. It doesn't explain how creatures completely change their biology and anatomical structures based base on evolutionary pressures. For example, there are zero scientific evidence that explain how eyes and limbs form. And what evidence exists around evolution doesn't support it, in fact they discredit the theory.
>>18497444Ooooo playground burn!!!!
>>18494666>Name one single religion that it's basis is not dude trust me broPantheism
>>18497439That makes it better
>>18497837That shit is for retards who were raised in religious countries and would be atheists except they can't overcome having been conditioned all their lives that magic is real>wow the religion I was raised with sure is bullshit, but I can't bring myself to not believe anything, so maybe everything is real!!!No matter how contradictory that would be. Go smoke a joint and stop posting online.
>>18494715Not only does it rely on a spurious understanding of monotheism but it is also Rocco's basilisk the religion.
Greek polytheism, which really is just polytheism in general since the Greeks believed everyone worshipped the same Gods but with different names, customs, and stories
>>18497937Are you some kind of retard? That's still dependent in the belief that the gods are responsible for things that we now know they demonstrably are not. How is that not "dude just trust me"?
>>18497462>t. non-science fagNo retard.
>>18497004Well, evolution still doesn't answer how life came about. There's only hypotheses but there isn't one answer. There's no theory, in the actual definition of the word, about abiogenesis.
