wtf that doesn't even make sense

Truly /b/ worthy.

Go back to /b/

religion is a good basis for morality.
atheism is for the most part rebellious edgy teenagers.
fundamentalism is retarded. both religious and atheist fundamentalism.
the main problem is that religious fundamentalists believe in something that is clearly retarded, and atheists take that retarded belief and believe that that's the only possible deity that exists, and disregards every supernatural belief because of it.

>>1327579
there is no atheist fundamentalism, just moral nihilism

>>1327579
This with what >>1327580 said, I agree wholeheartedly.
Sage for agreement with other sager and troll thread.

You idiots have no idea what you are talking about.

Probably samefagging too

>>1327615
nice discourse bro, also not samefagging.

>>1327617
Yup, definately same fag

>>1327628
no, faggot. Get off this board.

>>1327628
ok, for sake of argument, we're samefag, now engage in discourse and point out the flaws in our.. i mean my statement..

But...but...can't I choose to deconstruct traditional binary distinctions as inherently oversimplistic and inevitably biased?

>>1327641
No, YOU deconstruct nothing, it deconstructs itself, leaving its inherent contradictions laid bare.

Fixed

What city is the one on the left?

>>1327664
a jewish city

>>1327568
>>1327667
What is this, /int/?
>>1327664
It's New York, pre-2001

>>1327678
How is New York atheist?

>>1327667
a city built by ardently calvinist nederlanders, bought by the protestant nation of america and owned by jews.

>>1327681
I can see the connection. While New York is not athiest (St. Patrick's Cathedral), it played a big part in the revolution, and the founding fathers, many of who are from the area, formed the Constitution exclusively keeping religious ideals out. Sadly, most "patriotic" Americans don't know this (looking at you, red states).

>>1327681
The point is that the towers would still be standing in a world with only athiesm

>>1327688
But didn't they keep religion out on the basis of freedom of belief?

>>1327696
But with only atheism there wouldn't be any towers or planes.

>>1327699
Freedom of belief is part of the larger concept of freedom of expression, and they kept out religious ideals because they didn't want to impose any religious ideals on the citizens, leaving them free to follow their own.

>>1327688
>the Constitution exclusively keeping religious ideals out.
>We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
and i'm not even us-american, dear gringo bolshevik
>(looking at you, red states)
the only red states are those which venerate red jews as if they were Gods. I am looking at you, Marcuse and Adorno.

too busy living in eternal present to care! lol!

september 11th was a punishment for forsaking God, dear faggot enabling money-lender whores of satan.

>>1327703

>>1327702
How the fuck did you deduce that?

>>1327716
What units is that graph in?

HAVE SOME SELF-RESPECT

DON'T FEED THE TROLLS

AND NO I AM NOT EITHER OF THE PEOPLE I MAY SEEM TO BE

>>1327723
Early math was based around religious ritual.

>>1327705
By saying "Creator," they are making a point, that is, at the moment of creation all men are equal. Other than that, you're pants on head retarded.
>>1327716
Barbarians, do you know of them? The Christian church saved all of the Roman and Greek Literature we know of today (monasteries). You've proven >>1327579's point. Good work.

normally, I'd ignore this troll thread, but there's some redeemable posts here.
Only /lit/ can make troll threads good.

sage anyway.

>Origin of Species, published 1859
Bitch, please. This is /lit/.

>>1327783
yes. but atheism was older:
>We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are machines, that they are endowed with 3 simple drives, lust, wrath and the pursuit of power.
all bourgeois philosophy is christendom paraphrased.

really /lit?' you're going to fall for this sort of /r9k/esque shitstorm? I thought better of you.

>>1327868
what kind of riffraff are you? What we are dealing with here is the single most important question in the history of mankind!

>>1327898
my bad. if only all of such high philosphical discussions could be accommodated by trollbait x vs. y posters. if only.

>>1327868
>I thought

This is 4chan. Thinking was your first mistake. What did you think? That /lit/ was a special magical place of "people on 4chan who aren't dumbasses"?

WRONG.

The sucess of this thread should prove that to you if nothing else will: 4chan is FULL of dumbasses. And you're one of them.

>>1327917
agreed. /lit/ is like the bill o'reilly of 4chan. the proverbial Stewartian "skinniest kid at fat camp." At the moment at least. y u mad tho?

>>1327917
>>1327935
I have to disagree, I found many posts to be educational and many trolls to be cruelly denounced.

>>1327939
surely. but i think it won't be long until it's all HELP ME WITH MY ENGLISH HOMEWORK and LOL ULYSSES HOUSE OF LEAVES AYN RAND ETC.

>>1327939
Indeed, indeed. For one, I would have never learnt that Nieuw Amsterdam was owned by the Hebrews alone through studies conducted in other areas.

>>/sci/ is the other way bro
