What are the political ramifications of most people believing in insane ancient blogposts?
>Lono is a major deity in Hawaiian mythology, representing fertility, agriculture, rainfall, peace, and music. As one of the four foundational gods (alongside Kū, Kāne, and Kanaloa), Lono is associated with cultivated foods, particularly the sweet potato, and is honored during the annual Makahiki season (roughly October to February), a time of rest, celebration, and strict prohibition of war.Sounds based to me!
>>534613123What do you mean? Lono is based!
>>534613123>most people nahAt the heights of religion most people just pretended in hopes of not being tortured until they felt the love of god
There are two possible universes.Universe A: Lono is not real.Universe B: Lono is real.In Universe A Lono believers get psychological and magical benefits whereas atheists get nothing.In Universe B Lono believers are never proven wrong no even when they die because no afterlife so they retain the psychological benefits. Atheists still get nothing.Lono Believers 2Atheists 0Lono Believers win. OP is officially a retarded faggot.
>>534614114What benefits? People laughing at you and thinking you're fucking stupid?
>>534614657Gods are, among other things, ways for people (individuals or collectives) to harness and direct their own psychic energy.

>>534614657Do you think human beings evolved to be religious just randomly?Now the facts according to Robot's Basilisk.>75% lower likelihood of death by suicide in certain long-term studies of healthcare professionals.>74% better outcomes in studies related to depression.>69% lower anxiety levels in high-quality research.>Findings from Psychology Today suggest that having a clear philosophy of life—whether religious or secular—is better for adjustment than being "wishy-washy">Reclaiming a cultural identity that includes ancestral gods like Lono (associated with agriculture, rain, and abundance) acts as a buffer against historical trauma.>: In Hawaiian psychological frameworks, Lono represents the conscious mind. Modern interpretations suggest that working with Lono involves wielding insight wisely and avoiding getting "stuck" in unhelpful stories, which fosters emotional resilience.>: Cultural programs for Native Hawaiians are reportedly four times more successful than standard clinical programs, highlighting the efficacy of integrating traditional spiritual modalities into mental health care.

>>534613217These animistic religions often sound comfy and feelgood, it's like they lack the grittiness and cruelty of the abrahamism. All tribal warfare aside, they understood what was humanity's place in nature and indirectly cared for the fragile balance.
>>534615180Nope, reality is totally subjective.Truth is not a thing to be discovered, it's a decision to make.And if you're smart, you'll make a decision that has utility instead of just believing whatever you happen to stumble upon.

>>534615987See how you had to dodge?That's because you were about to say>I observe it with my senses (faulty, possible error) and my mind (faulty, possible error)But that scares you, you can't even be honest with yourself lol
>>534613123>HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE GOD XXX? THAT'S HOW I FEEL ABOUT YOUR GODNo, that's how you feel about me, and everything I hold dear. That's how your slimy, kikey self feels about me trying to have a wholesome life, raise a decent family, and want to be left alone. If I don't want my daughter marrying a nigger that will leave her and the ugly brat he'd make even before the abominable thing is born, you feel just the same about that. If I don't want 100 million jeets crowding out my grandchildren, it's how you feel about my politics. If I don't want kindergarteners being bullied into transitioning, it's how you feel about that. Your atheism is almost an afterthought. Communists wanted to wreck our civilization three generations before you were even born, and you don't know why you are the way you are.Which god I believe in or don't believe in is totally besides the point.

>>534615987People have experiences where the laws of physics break down all the time. They end up gaslighting themselves into believing they hallucinated so that they don't get ostracized.
>>534613123Posts like this are disingenuous, no one knows about obscure gods from past civilizations but every atheist who "simply lacks belief" in God knows core tenets of Christianity and hates the moral character of the Christian God. >I don't care about your God>Let's argue about the God you believe in that I don't care about at allAtheists are mentally stunted children who do not understand rationality yet compulsively refer to themselves as rational people.

>>534615242Abrahamic religions are moral control from top to bottom, people forget that most of the mythos of catholic faith is just fanfic added or stolen from other religions in an effort to convert locals.Abrahamic faith isn't about angels and floods and trees and snakes, it's about you doing whatever the fuck Mr. Boy-Toucher in the fancy robes tells you to do."Grittiness" isn't the word you're looking for. The word you're looking for is "Shame." Animistic faith lacks the shame of the abrahamic, because it wasn't about shaming people into obedience with the wrongs of their ancestors, it was about explaining what those twinkly things in the sky are, or what the ocean is, and building a working understanding of the world with the knowledge available.

>>534616145>but every atheist who "simply lacks belief" in God knows core tenets of ChristianityDoubtful. Best I can tell, they know the same meme-worthy bullshit Hollywood foists on all of them. You only know whatever details the Democratic National Convention and jewish executives want you to know so you can ridicule anyone who wants fewer than half a million babies to be aborted or for our country to stop being flooded with jeets and homicidal muslims. The people who manage you, your handlers, wouldn't even want you to learn any real details... it'd risk you becoming caught up in those in ways that'd make you useless as a heckler of decent people, as a revolutionary insurgent, as a communist agitator. You didn't even know you had handlers, but you'll deny that too because you're a good little robot.

I'm Catholic but I don't believe in Abrahamic dogma whatsoever, it's obvious that it's just an ancient system of control used to maintain the (((power hierarchy))).But I do believe in God. Or whatever the fuck you call a creator deity. We could be mold on some 5th dimensional ayy lmao's forgotten sandwich for all we know.
Religious retards don't believe in tens of thousands of gods and deities that are and were worshipped by people throughout history. Atheist just don't believe in one more god than they do, so basically any christcuck or kikecuck or muhammadcuck or hinducuck just believes in one or a few more gods than I don't.
>>534617107>It's like watching a ouji-board that only makes shitpostsYou're a jeet, and we all know it. A white person in Canada (where ever they're hiding) wouldn't dare try to ridicule my post.

>>534617889>Schizo babbleYes you're spiraling.If objective reality is determined by science and science is constantly changing reality because it's determined by subjective observers you're just outsourcing your subjective reality to lab coats, like a cuck.
>>534617157>What about if I agree with the moral tenets and cultural cohesion of christian societiesBut why would you agree with these moral tenets or care about cultural cohesion at all? If you do not believe that there is a God who exists as the foundation and sole arbiter of this good moral framework then you have no reason to look at Christian society and decide that the way Christian society operates is the way that things should be. Why do you value the goodness that comes from Christian society while denying the God of the Christian faith? You cannot separate the goodness of Christian society from the reason that Christian society is so good. You want manna from Heaven without acknowledging where it comes from or giving praise to the one who provided it for you.
>>534617730Only in your head because you want it to be so.The whole 'observer changes the results by observing' thing has been totally misinterpreted. To observe anything which isn't emitting radiation by itself you must hit it with radiation and have that radiation reflect to your detector. That means it's impossible to observe something without changing it's state. On the level of individual atoms or photons it's like hitting a bowling ball with another ball half way down the lane. You completely change it's characteristics by hitting it to observe it. It has nothing to do with muh concous observer. A totally inanimate process doing the same thing would have the same result.

>>534618987Polytheistic religions have historically cared about actions more than thoughts. If you participated in the sacrifices and followed the laws, it didn't much matter what you thought of it all. That's why the ancient Greeks were able to have entire schools of philosophy that were skeptical towards religion like the Epicureans. People argued with them, sure. And especially irritating reddit atheists were exiled or killed. But normal levels of uncertainty towards the religion were met with "don't worry about it. just do it anyway."So, if you're doing the game theory religion thing, then it would be one of those that makes the most sense to follow. You can even cover multiple pantheons like the Greeks and Romans by deciding that this Lono fellow is actually Saturn or Dionysus under a different name.

>>534620202No. Modern jews are extremely unique when it comes to religion. I am not aware of any other religious tradition at any other time or place where it was seen as acceptable, let alone good, to try and trick or cheat a deity. Numerous ancient Greek stories are about Gods punishing mortals for the sort of shit jews do today, like the strings and automatic elevators.jews believe in their "god". They just don't respect him. There was zero tolerance for that in the ancient world.
>>534614657for each atheist laughing at a religious person, there are other 1000 religious people laughing at the imbecile nature of that single atheist.Atheists are a pathetic yet loud minority. Atheistards are like the Troons of spirituality : identifying as something that they're not (i.e. cosmic dust, solar fart or muh result of billions and quadrillions of years of muh evolution)These Lost and confused faggots are essentially rabid dogs. They're simplistic spirits, incapable of love or perceiving concepts of higher entities or even being able to imagine a higher dimension. Whenever I walk with atheists, I feel like I have a rabid dog on a leash. Godless creatures that exist only to waste everybody else's air.
>>534613123>>534615242>Let us illustrate by observing the relative harmony and unchanging quality of existence in one of your, as you call it, primitive tribes. The entities have the concepts of lawful and taboo, but the law is inexorable and all events occur as predestined. There is no concept of right and wrong, good or bad. It is a culture in monochrome.
>>534621568The Jewish so-called "tricking of God" is what happens when you take your religion seriously.

>>534615987 I think gravity has been mislabeled, because you can't account for it. What you CAN account for is electromagnetism, which makes more sense seeing as your body has it's own, albeit small, electrical system internally an is necessary for biological functions. The earth also contains a sort of internal bioelectricity, and i think that these two things interact continuously to keep us "grounded", to make an electrician pun. This itself would need more study to show how we can be attracted to the earth magnetically to keep us on the ground and in contact with it, and I'm not that guy to put the study in, so the theory remains a theory, though a better one than an invisible force that just pervades the universe with no further explanation or while say "it just is".

>>534625027>I'm an atheist because the stories in the Bible aren't believableYou watch a dozen stupid tv shows a month, none of which are "believable". You enjoy them, they inform your life... when something happens to you like it did to one of the characters in the tv show, how they responded influences how you respond in reality. It doesn't matter that the tv show wasn't factual to you, not in the moment, and not afterwards when you've had time to reflect. You don't go around preaching to people "I reject Game of Thrones" or "I denounce Sex and the City". Yet here you are, doing the same on /pol/ so you can feel superior. You talk like a fag and your shit's all retarded.
>>534625166>Humans had unanswered questions, so they decided to make up the answers.Even for an atheist, this is particularly stupid. They didn't "make up answers". Humans, generation after generation suffered all sorts of miseries, overcame all sorts of virtually impossible obstacles, and built entire civilizations out of literally nothing. But for their work, you'd be a hairless monkey scratching around in the dirt. They developed rituals and traditions which served them well... we know this because had they not been served by these rituals and traditions, they wouldn't have survived. Their culture, by virtue of its survival, was and is valid.What do you offer atheist? A world in which no one has children and our species goes extinct?
