I think atheists of that kind just don't understand the role of religion.

Maybe those people lack that certain longing for something permanent or absolute or for a true observer. A purely materialistic outlook of life will probably lead to worse results than when you believe in something divine.

There's people who disprove religious stories, reject doctrines based on modern sensibilities, deconstruct it one way or another- they simply don't get what Kierkegaard must have meant with the "leap of faith" that even an intelligent, rational person must do, to truly unlock that thing that needs to be unlocked- even though you don't know what is inside, even though it won't have an apparent, immediate gain.

I think ultimately people have to come to religion by themselves. There's no point arguing. Religions would always lose against an intelligent argument. You have to need it, yearn for it, fight for it, until your desire to believe finally becomes unquestioned, even irrational, faith. Its best to have it be a private experience and to not engage militant atheists and their ego-driven, smug approach to this sublime art.

>because nothing is more obvious than the fact that humanity--far from being a creation-- is a disease.

Yes, because an onimpotent being could not create a diseas, or humanity as a disease.

This is just the standard ramblings of a misanthrope who hates humanity and therefor God, because God is humanity written large.

The problem is with hating God, you forget the Devil, who has also his domain.

> Why should the absence of a divinity analogical to mankind be more disturbing than the absence of a giant tortoise supporting the world on its back?

Because we found a substitute for the turtle in the natural laws that govern our universe, these laws are just as divine as God or the turtle, though nobody will admit this.

Are you going to hate the laws of natur now, or are they not personable enough to trigger your hatred for other human beings?

What the hell is wrong with antiacc retards that quickly swarm land threads and quickly outnumber and drown out actual acc posters?
I don't understand how a group of people could be so pissy and so misinformed at the same time. You would think having no idea what is going on would be a humbling experience but no, it seems to inspire a sort of disproportionate pettiness and evasiveness.
Just imagine, for a moment, what was going through the mind of the person who made pic. related. Imagine being so self-unaware that you post nothing but greentext snippets of the people you are replying to and derivative meaningless quips for the sole purpose of upping the frequency of ani-acc posting in any given thread. It's so tedious I can now preemptively reply to my very own posts:

any argument that pertains to whether not religion is "good" is less relevant than the superior argument i.e there is literally no reason to assume there is a god rather than there isnt

If accelerationism is so great a school why has it No impact on real politics or art like previous philosophical school had?

Explain that!

What do Atheists ACTUALLY gain from arguing that god doesn't exist beyond some stupid smug "victory"? I have never met a happy and complete person who is an atheist/nihilist. Being a nihilist did literally nothing for me except nearly turn me into an eternal neet. Religion and guiding principles are completely rational, its that extra bit of energy you need to actually get things done. They don't call it faith for no reason.

Following LITERALLY any religion is good for your psyche, want to have peace among others and create global brotherhood? Be Christian. Want to overcome all odds and become the uber-mench through constant evolution? Adopt Hellenism. Want to drop all desire and find eternal peace within? Try Buddhism.

tl;dr Don't be a nihilistic piece of shit

I had a similar experience as a kid. I had to attend Catholic school and vividly remember thinking how ridiculous it was that they expected me to believe in something that already felt so implausible to me at that age.

You sound like a teenage girl shopping for handbags.
You dont just become a Christian because it ferls good, either God exists and Jesus is his son or not. If not, then there is no point in being a Christian. You sound like someone taking a placebo while knowing it's just a placebo, it will not work.

Ironically, atheists are just as obsessed with god as theists, because they both center their beliefs around god's specific image, with the difference that one accepts and other denies it, which is different from absence of any belief at all.

Not really , I'm agnostic but actively antitheistic when it comes to public culture. Why do I have to have religious bullshit fed to me from a young age and be indoctrinated into a set of beliefs. If anything the ball is in the court of theists who have to prove to me anything at all. I respect people who believe, but the abrahamic religions are actively proselytistic , otherwise they cannot function. So again why do I have to accept r deny anything when it comes to religious dogma when it has nothing to do rationality and experience, and everything to do with the culture we are born with and belief? Creating secularism is the one major good thing the enlightenment achieved.

Mockery is not a form of evidence or proof.

This guy is a faggot, is an example of mockery. I can't prove that he can suck a golf ball through a garden hose, but just look at those lips. The chances that they haven't swalloed nigger cum is smaller than his micropenis.

This is a convincing argument to atheists.
