not babies, sims. incredibly feely humans building their conceptions of the world.


and ripe for brainwashing by their religious parents.


it's all religion bro. whatever works. that has been my point.


religions don't work though, that's my point. they just fill your head with false beliefs and wishful thinking.


that's not really religions not working dude. hey, and i could say the same for atheism - or lack of faith - too. there are a bunch of psychopaths out there carrying out 'no country for old men'-style killings and things like that as sort of righteously indignant existential statements. maybe you're right though and a completely atheistic world could be a utopia unlike anything religion can give us. but then, well, who cares? you'll be dead. what's with the moral crusade?

a lot of those up murderer killing sprees are carried out with a sort of messed up conception of the world as hell too btw. ted bundy for example seems an obvious example, his mother having pretended to be his sister, his very existence a joke played on him. sopranos did a take on this too with the same mechanic in paulie in their rewrite of 'the stranger'. nobody escapes those considerations, and they're resounding.

u shouldn't be so quick to call ideas you've just encountered stupid, grannie, it basically nips the idea off at the bud by introducing ego into the equation. the problem, though, is that you're looking at the question the wrong way, basically just rationalising. were u an atheist all your life, i wonder? were you an atheist as an infant? what was your conception of 'being' like as an infant?......


Everybody was an atheist when they were born...


no. atheism is literal autism, might as well be. everything needs to be in a certain place. oh, and no god. that's not what we're born into. we're born into fire.


This is your brain on religion.

Faith: Not even once.

Grannie, please stop reading and replying to Sirius.


I really should, you can't fight faith with logic.

If religious people listened to logic there would be no religious people.


he wasn't telling you to stop reading and replying to Sirius because he's religious, he's telling you to stop reading and replying to Sirius...because he's Sirius....
