Oh I understand, I was an atheist myself for more than a decade, it's just that I was wrong and so are you but not for the reasons you think, and those reasons are impossible for you to understand until you have experienced more of the world.
It's like when people say 'Oh you autists can't understand hierarchies'.
No bitch, we understand them fine, we just know they are stupid and detrimental.
Same with your infantile edgeladism.
I don't think you understand how many atheists I have spoken with and how fuckdamn similar every one of you are in your retreat to intellectual dishonesty when the conversation gets even slightly tough.
I'm not sure what your little tribal daydream has to do with the world as it is now but I think you are making fantasies that don't exactly match up with the anthropological record and basing assumptions on that fantasy for your worldview.
At least I have a fucking book to tell me my made up history. You just decided to go and make one up on your own.
See what I said about media literacy? At this point it is so blatant as to be deliberate.
Fuck every direction of off and then fund a study group to research novel and unique directions in which to fuck off, and then do them all at once.
Yes and unfortunately I am without voices in my head which I already mentioned to you but I guess you were too busy thinking of your clever little ableism jab to read the section where I wrote:
I have never had a flaming tablet fall out of the sky with the words ‘I EXIST’ etched on it, I have never heard an audible voice I have attributed to God.
Frankly I'd LOVE to be schizophrenic because at least then I would know that my grim world was a product of madness and not a sick and dying culture.
And there are plenty of effective schizophrenia medications whereas even after decades and dozens of different medications, literally nothing works for more than 2 or 3 weeks on my IED.
Sorry no, capitalism is working exactly as intended. Concentration of wealth breaks regulation with unlimited political donations.
You call it unregulated, but that is the natural trend for when the only acceptable goal is the greater accumulation of wealth. There comes a time when that wealth is financially best spent buying politicians.
Until there are inherent mechanisms within capitalism to prevent special interest money from pushing policy and direct regulatory capture, capitalism will ALWAYS trend to deregulation.
I'm sorry I can't pray away your media illiteracy, you really might want to read the posts in this thread a bit more before making yourself look even more foolish.
You don't understand my position on the existence or lack thereof of God, neither do you understand what a god talking would even be like if such a being does exist.
If we are to believe the Biblical accounts, actually taking to God bleaches your hair white and causes your eyes to shine like lamps, and neither of those things have happened to me.
I read the Bible, I learn the lessons there, I apply them to my own life. I have never had a flaming tablet fall out of the sky with the words 'I EXIST' etched on it, I have never heard an audible voice I have attributed to God.
And as for my 'relationship', if it exists at all then it is mostly me being angry at Him for making the world to be such an arduous test. I'm pretty sure I've spent more time seething at Him than praising Him.
Most of the time I wonder if Gnosticism is true, and the 'god' of the material universe is just a flawed demiurge reflection of a greater perfect God beyond all understanding. Honestly I feel there is more evidence for the demiurge as at least the current ruler of the world (which has some Biblical backing as the adversary was given dominion over the world til Judgment, he is literally called the Prince of the Air).
I'm not even going to validate your low effort post, gtfo.
I have had one decent landlord, and like you experienced, a family that actually lives on the property.
Truly a unicorn and only going to get more rare.
