That’s basically what happened with me and atheism.
Worth it, raising atheist kids in a more tolerant place now.
Reality? What Reality?!?

Atheism is just as illogical as theism. You can apply Occam’s razor to assume that there is no god/gods, but that is still just that, an assumption. Agnosticism would be the logically/scientifically backed argument.

No, it’s not. Unfalsifiable deities are unscientific. So being an atheist against any kind of unfalsifiable deity is scientific. An all religion is unfalsifiable by definition.

Typically, atheists don’t spend a lot of time thinking about gods. Also, most theists aren’t just theists, they follow a very specific religion/god, which is orders of magnitude less reasonable.

So it’s logical to doubt whether pink flying unicorns exist?
Or could it be that not believing in those is the logical position?
Abrahamic religions are cancer
i_ben_fine@lemmy.one 7 months ago
just as illogical
are you sure they’re equally illogical?

All my opinions are peer reviewed by a scientific panel, of course. How can anyone live in a other way.

What’s your favorite color? Please respond in the form of a peer-reviewed paper.
elidoz@lemmy.ml 7 months ago
ok, here’s the experimental process
everyday you choose a color from a continous spectrum, then these color will be similar but not exactly the same everytime, the real favourite color is somewhere in the middle
the next step is to choose which color is better than the other by starting at the average color, and then performing gradual descent on the RGB color space until you reach the local maxima, which is also probably the global maxima thanks to the first step

Exactly. My mom is lost to Trump. From the generation that told me not to jump off a bridge if my friends were, she has no independence from peer pressure. Just Boomer hypocrisy.

This is what people who listen to YouTube (research) and form batshit insane opinions think about themselves.
dan1101@lemm.ee 7 months ago
Accurate. But people need to be brave enough to embrace the truth even if they don’t like it. You can diplomatically say things like “I’m not so sure about that” and such without directly contradicting those people.

All reality is perceived, and people’s perception of reality can be stupid. Stupid perceptions lead to strong emotions based on stupid.

Worse than that, their perception is quite easily manipulated. Hence why media control is so important to the fascists.

One of the reasons why it’s not as hilariously loserish as nihilistic as it sounds to say that in many ways havings friends is dumb.
It’s kind of going too far to make a point but probably not as far as lots of people would guess.
Oh you have a group of friends guess what you will now engage in the following behaviors at the prescribed times or else.
And we wonder why authenticity is so rare.

all opinions are ultimately inconsistent with reality in some way, indicating that they all do really originate from somewhere within ourselves
sneezycat@sopuli.xyz 7 months ago
Yeah, well, you know, that’s just, like, your opinion, man.
