people don’t like this idea because if that’s all we are, then who is anyone to say that the inevitable equivalent man-made lump of fat with electrical activity isn’t entitled to all the same rights and status that we are
also jeebus doesn’t want you to think you can’t go on getting punished even after you’re dead

honestly I never got this. Same with the simulation thing. What’s it matter if we’re in a simulation or all I ever do is the result of some salty fat firing off neurons? I mean what am I going to do about that?

people used to get burnt at the stake for this shit. and dont’ forget how butthurt people got over the suggestion that –gasp– the earth isn’t the center of the universe

I’m aware it’s controversial, I just genuinely do not get why you would care.

because when you have deeply entrenched religious indoctrination, ideas about the world, life, and reality that don’t mesh with your “god” are literally personal attacks on your very identity.
some people care about this shit more than they care about anything else. you should get rid of the assumption that things need to make sense to these people
