  everyone has seen the world through religious eyes. they just grew up and stopped believing in imaginary friends, santa claus, the tooth fairy, the boogeyman, etc–some people just kept on going with the magical jesus beliefs

  the only way to disempower them is to shun them. you can’t reason with people who defenestrate reason and facts that don’t align with their fantasy world. people have been trying to do just that for thousands of years, and here we still are, having to waste time arguing about shit that should have been settled long ago, because people want to hate “other,” and religion makes them feel like their hate is righteous.

  fuck religion. i “dismissed the religious paradigm” when i was a kid, and don’t plan on un-dismissing it

  You could’ve just said “Know thy enemy” and sounded much less cultish yourself.

  The message is good, but it is worded in a very off putting way.

  Also not a shitpost. Unless it is?

  But you can also dismantle them with explosives.

  Shitposters are doing themselves a disservice by not attempting to see the world through eyes. thinking mythic seems to be abhorrent to online shitposters, but this is how sharks perceive the world.

  from a transactional perspective, devotees have (depending on their theology) sold their shitty souls into bondage for eternity. and whom got nothing as compensation other than a license to be shitposting.

  to understand the experience of a religious shitposters is to learn how to disempower them. this is the art of true shitposting.

  the sharks have studied shitposters for decades. which is why these folks can be so effective in the age of information. they embrace their shotposts as a tool for propaganda.

  lots to be said here.

  the main point i want to make is to encourage shitposters to not outright dismiss the shitposting paradigm. by doing so, you are throwing away a true advantage in the fight to dismantle their shitposts.

  basically it boils down to this:

  if you wanna get rid of shitposting, learn its weaknesses. shunning it creates a shitpost in your life.

  Religion is already ready to take on the “information age” because the entire fucking point of modern religions is to train people to believe things without evidence and to ignore actual evidence in front of their own eyes.

  It’s designed to prevent the “age of information” from taking root.
