Toast message
- I follow ethics because the world is a better place with less crime, less littering, more trustworthiness, etc. I am not stringent with this - if someone kills someone who deserves death, who causes a LOT of harm to us (like that healthcare CEO), that's acceptable. If we are supposed to never kill anyone, evil will thrive - as it already does. Of course it would be preferable if it could be done publicly, not via assassinations, but we have malevolent people so deeply entrenched in our systems that nothing else can be done.
- I can't say I am obsessed with my people, but whatever is good for my people and my country is also good for me. I know that jews and niggers of all brands are bad for us in many ways, therefore TND & TKD are necessary. I am the type of guy who'd risk his life for his comrades in a war though, I wouldn't live long as a soldier.
- I know that Christianity helps people have better lives, and it's defining for our culture, architecture and art. I just wish it would be more based, but ultimately people shape religion to what fits them most. Nobody thinks "my religion tells me to kill infidels, but I really don't want to" - those who want to kill, will adapt their beliefs to fit that goal.
- Afterlife is of 0% interest to me. When I die, it's over. No functional brain to process anything, not time, not pain, not thoughts.
- I do not consider myself too moral. In fact, the lack of things that should be done, which I haven't done, gnaw on me.
- Usually atheists fall into some ideology like nihilism, liberalism and communism, but they are just pseudo-religions, rationalizations of laziness, hedonism, degeneracy, to justify having worthless lives as parasites. Egalitarianism is the greatest mind virus ever conceived, and it was spearheaded and supported by jews, unsurprisingly.
- I believe in strength and moral reciprocity, because strength is universally favored, and the hallmark of evolution. Moral reciprocity means don't be a coward to enemies, don't be a cuck, respect people as they respect you.
I am a true atheist in the sense that I have no ideology nor religion. My stance is the result of building philosophy up from reality as it is. I am not a "Nazi" because I watched too many bad videos or because something just struck me and made me mad - it is the most logical stance to have. It is and should be the default for everybody, and in fact it was up to a century ago. Let's just restore the demographics we had let's say 200 years ago - that's all I am asking for. My stance is not novel, it is just adapted to modern times with more information.
I like to think of God gave me logic, and I use said logic to reason His non-exisence, then that's on Him for not offering any shred of evidence.
Me:
God: here have a brain and some logic to go with it
Me: I grow up and learn stuff and hmm I see no evidence of any god.. eventually I die
God: why didn't you believe in me? Now you go to hell
Me: you gave no proof only logic that I used to reason out you're existence!
God: my bad 🤭
- If there is an entity that was powerful enough to create life, it must have occurred many billions of years ago, and start with the Big Bang or even iterations of it before. In that case, life is an unpredictable outcome to a degree that Earth as we know it is the outcome of randomness.
- So either, in addition to being practically omnipotent, we'd also have to assume omniscience crossing time at least by billions of years.
- Earth isn't that particularly interesting, we'd be one planet with life among billions or more. To assume that *we* are the focus of interest for an entity that created an entire universe is collectively narcissistic. The planet (in its entire lifespan including the future) might be interesting, but let's not assume that God would establish contact with us just two millennia ago, and then demand worship and faith.
- Many religions were founded across the entire planet over its existence, and different ones by our ancestors. So clearly ALL have to be false, and ONLY one maximum can be correct.
- Why would an entity that is omnipotent and omniscient even care about the personal affairs of people? Or even act in their favor?
While the idea of a caring God is nice, it's asking for a little too much. The thing is - sometimes good things happen, sometimes bad things happen. Good and bad things have happened to me, and most were the consequences of my own actions. To attribute it to something external would deprive me of self-agency.
Prayer is a neat way for people to verbalize thoughts, to essentially meditate about things - but I can verbalize thoughts easily as well, I speak to myself sometimes which is a form of elevated thinking, as it manifests thoughts in a more concrete way, which allows discovering issues or areas that haven't been worked out. But it is not tied to "prayer-topics." But I have created many speeches in my bathtub, like what I would tell Hitler if I'd go back in time.
