We seem to be doing pretty good without God, Mr. Mustache Man. Where’s all this spooky world-destroying nihilism you kept telling us about?

>>24785143The past 400 years of human history is the story of the white man finding unimaginable success by becoming secular liberals and the rest of the world coping about it including other white people themselves. When will they just admit the truth?
Do anyone else not imagine visuals when they are reading? Like are you supposed to be so cucked that you let your mind create visuals described by another person? When authors describe things, I just take their word for it, and I will not allow an author to control me or tell me what I am supposed to be imagining.

>>24784052I imagine visuals, but it's like a dream kinda. My conscious mind is focused on reading the text but my unconscious mind is like generating the imagery for the text
>>24784052So picking up a book with somebody else's stories an ideas is somehow not being cucked, only imagining the things described? Idgi
>>24784052I enjoy directing scenes in my mind while reading fiction. It can be hard when I don’t know the setting, but I’ll look up things up or look at fan art if I need to. It helps a lot with remembering small details.This too >>24785093
>>24784052>I will not allow an author to control me or tell me what I am supposed to be imagining.Sometimes I will imagine a character however the fuck I want if the author's description doesn't meet what I think the character should look like. Nothing too egregious, just sometimes I think the physical appearance I imagined is better.

Which e-reader do you have /lit/? Are you happy with it? Is it complicated to get books to it?I am thinking about the Kobo Libra but it seems like getting books onto it is an extremely convoluted process that involves Calibre, KOreader, some plugins, and I don't even know what. And then I looked into Calibre and the first thing I see about it is that it doesn't let you put books in your own folders and it copies your entire library according to its folder scheme. Is there a better library program and a better reader or a better overall experience that isn't like installing Linux? At this point from what I've read I think I should just continue buying actual paper books because this all just sounds like an extreme annoyance. Or maybe I just need to install a good reader program on Windows. What's a good Windows program to read books in like ComicRack for comics?

I read some of the "anti-racist" biographies at the public library, and the level of hatred these brown women have towards white girls is insane. There was one with a black girl at some anti-racist seminar just demeaning and making fun of this white woman doing her best to apologize for her implicit biases and privilege. With all these books about race being published everywhere, all these experiences as a diaspora. When is the actual unspoken truth going to get published? the burning resentment and hatred that non-white women have towards white women? Or is that too much for the publishing industry?

>>24784221It's only distantly relevant, but your post reminded me of Orwell>I suppose I had not been five minutes on Moroccan soil before I noticed the overloading of the donkeys and was infuriated by it. There is no question that the donkeys are damnably treated. The Moroccan donkey is hardly bigger than a St Bernard dog, it carries a load which in the British army would be considered too much for a fifteen-hands mule, and very often its pack-saddle is not taken off its back for weeks together. But what is peculiarly pitiful is that it is the most willing creature on earth, it follows its master like a dog and does not need either bridle or halter. After a dozen years of devoted work it suddenly drops dead, whereupon its master tips it into the ditch and the village dogs have torn its guts out before it is cold.
>>24782027Incels are right about basically everything.
not a big reader but I recently watched The Dark Crystal and its Series and really loved the setting. But I´m new to the genre and was wondering if there are anons that could recommend books with a similar feeling or any other fantasy books with this almost (doomlike/post-catastrophic and yet mythical?) feeling
>>24783584no but the cover looks good>t. judges books by their covers
>>24783418The Dark Crystal is eerily peak fantasy precisely because of how alien it is. It has no humans whatsoever. It’s all props. It’s peak art (capital-a Art), period.
>>24783701>>t. judges books by their coversKek me too.Her old covers were always peak.
>>24783804it truly is, henson created a masterpiece and then noone ever created something similar>>24783897is it good?

Is atheism more about not wanting to believe in God than about actual evidence?
>>24785045>That's literally what you're doing over and over againNo, u.>you have zero basic clue on what the Christian faith is It is the denial of death because some demon became half man and brought some other man back to life, then came back to life himself and floated into the sky, then rained down fire on his friends so that they could train the first generation of a line of costumed mages who can turn water into half-demon blood for the rest of time.
>>24785046Concession Status— Accepted.
>>24784454Absolutely heretical.>>24784458It's considered heretical by most Christians today and wasn't a reading of the Scriptures until 1500 years after Christ.
>>24784849>"Man is god, do what you will, nothing but pleasure matters"i haven't met a single atheist that thinks like that. you sure you're not making that up to have a convenient man to fill with straw?
>>24784450dumbshit argument. if everyone believed in fairies and made moral proclamations based on fairy lore and tried to impose their fairy morals on your and in law, you'd be justified in writing a book pointing out that fairies don't exist and we should stop listening to people who insist they do.
*shits all over your Christianity*
>>24782894an engaging book*
>>24782894I agree. Even though it's prosaically a B-tier or C-tier literature, the level of engagement he's able to repeat in every chapter for the whole book is masterclass. He should stop writing his langdonslop and write a book about writing.
>>24780235IMHO the only reason it's famous is because it's controversial. Specifically, what's presented in media as the right "cool kids" type of rebellion, and that's against christianity. That's why the publisher saw commercial potential in it and made big ad campaign for it. Remember that the jew will never miss a chance for shitting on jesus christ and making it part of the culture.

Why do the rich worship Jesus if he considered them his enemies at the time along with the pharisees? The Sermon on the Mount is literally a proto-communist manifesto.

The vast majority of Catholics are just Catholic because they were born in it and get a flyer ever so often. Then they confess once a year and pretend they are great moral Christians. For most it's pretty much just a facade of righteousness they can hide behind.
