Human beings need myths like they need food and waterVarious authors started writing myths downFast forward and we examine these myths only to realise how glaringly contradictory and disharmonized the various narratives are due to multiple authorsWe are too embarrassed to keep believing them but also desperately want to believe themIn comes secularism which is extremely hollow and deficient of the mythtrition we so desperately needNow we're faced with an unbearable existence stripped of meaning or embracing falsehoods and deceiving ourselves
>>85605016I'm pretty sure we need food and water
>>85605016I agree that most human beings are incompatible with secularism. I'm glad to be one of the few that actually enjoys truth and honesty, so I love secularism and I love knowing that all that shit people used to believe was nonsense. By all means, if you and the rest of the goyim need to believe in stupid shit to not want to kill yourselves, have at it.
>>85605054everyone believes in stupid shit to cope
>>85605059Nah, plenty of people don't. I don't. I only believe in what is objectively verifiable. You're coping by projecting.
We still make myths, that last part is nonsense
>>85605066the things you believe in aren't as objective as you think they are but you tell yourself to trust the science to cope
>>85605089Whatever you need to tell yourself, little bro.
>>85605172i accept your concession lil dude
>>85605059>e-everyone's as dumb as me!!Kek
>>85605205nah you're dumberwho are you quoting btw
>>85605016Folks need heroes.
>>85605016>empiricism is incompatible with spiritualityretard alert
>>85605260o rly? care to explain?
>>85605267The existence of the divine is not incompatible with a scientific understanding of the world. Why is there something instead of nothing? What was before the big bang? What is "outside" the universe?
>>85605297That will all be solved with science. Like how science got us to where we are today, able to communicate with machines over the internet, instead of shitting ourselves in a cave because there's a thunderstorm and thinking it's because the gods are angry we didn't sacrifice enough goats. Faggot.
>>85605303Where organized religion fucked itself was insisting too heavily that what was basically its headcanon to explain the natural world / reality was the literal truth, which later turned out to be wrong, which then spoiled people on the entire idea because this authority which was making wild claims about its infallibility turned out to be, of course, human and flawed
>>85605303>That will all be solved with sciencehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del%27s_incompleteness_theorems
>>85605066If you only believe in what is objectively verifiable, you don't have enough information and framework to justify any action. So are you a monk? Or maybe the most miserable person alive.
>>85605016Nonsense, the modern west has a deep mythology and pantheon. We have the holocaust. feminism. Anti-racialism. White guilt.
>>85605297>Why is there something instead of nothing? What was before the big bang? Even if you believe the answer to this is God, you're just kicking the can down the road. Why is there a God instead of nothing? I like Modal Platonism as a principle - every logical possibility concretely exists in a certain sense, and we just find ourselves observers to this one in particular.
>>85605066Do you verify everything yourself or do you have faith in the scientific community and those communicating their results to you?
