based, but please elaborate

Possibly one of the worst proponents of scientism. Can imagine him shouting “oh my science” when he spills a glass of water. Only reason he is not a Redditor is he is at least consistent enough in his atheism to hate Muslims as much as Christians.

I like him. Nothing that he says is overly complicated but for the most part he has good, practical arguments and I mostly agree with him.

>>20534905
sane, intelligent, well-reasoned, debates in good faith, internally consistent. and yet, retarded. an ascended pleb.

>>20534905
>We've developed past the need for religion
>Uhhhh you can be a atheist and a buddhist :^)

He's correct on how the belief for God is a thing of the past but then he doubles down his stupidity of insisting on 'spirituality without God' and how Buddhism isn't a religion.

Also, Zoolander was terrible.

>>20534940
I mean, he's kind of right isn't he? Buddhism can be practiced without becoming a Buddhist, the issue with religions is how they exert control over individuals and nihilistic morals, whereas Buddhism teaches a state of mind I suppose, it's like a healthy spiritualism that doesn't require you to believe in a given metaphysical framework of the world, or authoritative figures, but rather is self-virtues.

>>20534932
please elaborate

>>20534932
Exactly this. Infact, this makes him extremely dangerous, since he's clearly quite intelligent and very well spoken, so people tend to take him at his word. Since he's actually completely retarded at his core, he is in effect a trojan horse destroying important debates and diminishing critical thinking across the population.

>>20534974
You don't know shit about Buddhism, my guy.

>>20534978
Please elaborate, I've been listening to his podcasts for a while and I found some interesting insights, I also enjoy how he's not afraid of btfoing Islam, but I'm always curious to have read controversial takes on thinkers.

I still think it's funny

>>20534974
What does spirituality without religion actually mean? What's the difference to psychology? It seems to me that all the positive effects of meditation could be called psychological.

>>20534978
Why do you think he's retarded? Because he's not religious?

>>20534905
I think you should log off and go read a book

>>20534996
It's not because that he isn't religious, it's that he isn't religious yet is a Buddhist. It's like a guy growing out of his Baptist community yet polices other people based on his own set of morality.

>>20534924
Curious how he doesn't hate religious Jews though.

>>20534932

Couldn’t be more accurate

>>20534905
Who?

>>20534940
>What do we think of Sam Harris?
Pretty much this.

>>20534940
>He's correct on how the belief for God is a thing of the past
This is what sophist retards actually believe. Harris is just another jewish demoralization agent trying to alienate the West from it's spiritual heritage by hawking effete eastern spirituality to keep the people docile.

Back to your containment board schizoïds.

>>20535188
>STOP NOTICING!
If this effeminate, nasal little kike wants to spend all his time trying to tear down the west, I can point it out.

>>20534905
Hes based af, he had the idea that there's no free will.

>>20535180
>tying to alienate the West from it's spiritual heritage
not trying to be "that guy" but the west's cultural heritage is pagan and long since gone, Christianity came from the middle east at a time when almost everyone was jewish. So if your looking for someone to say "its jews from the top on down" for w/e reason, you would be correct.

>Church bad
>White people bad
>LEAVE ISRAEL ALONE!

Christianity was born in the Empire and spread almost entirely by Greeks, and there was never any unified "West" before the Church. Jews have used pagans to attack the Church since the time of Julian the Apostate.

>>20534905
Rationality is honestly gay as fuck

>>20535221
>Christianity was born in the Empire and spread almost entirely by Greeks,
So? Jesus and his disciples were Jewish attempting to reform the church, Christianity was originally intended to be a reform of Judaism.

>>20535248
They weren't "Jewish" in the sense you're trying to convey. Modern Jews are Edmoite pagans. They weren't trying to "reform" anything. They were fulfilling the original covenant. The Jews have been trying to diminish Christ by pretending he was just a jewish reformer, and you bought it.

>>20535135
Nothing curious about that. JEWS ROCK!

>>20534905
Is this a joke?

>>20535188
That anon is completely correct though.

There's something I find incredibly stupid in fellow atheists who seek spirituality in Eastern Religions.

>>20535257
first of all
>Modern Jews are Edmoite pagans
wrong, modern jews are a reform sect of orthodox jews (who may or may not be Edomites I don't know) who stripped out all of the mythical parts of their religion. So yes the modern jews are nothing like the jews back then, but they are also not Edmoite pagans

>They weren't trying to "reform" anything. They were fulfilling the original covenant.
yes, that is generally what we call a reform, especially if the organization resists it.

>The Jews have been trying to diminish Christ by pretending he was just a jewish reformer, and you bought it.
sure maybe they tried to do that like thousands of years after all this happened, but literally Jesus and his followers were seeking to transform the church from within they had no concept at the time of splitting off and forming their own religion. As for the buying into it stuff, all I can say is I thank god daily i'm not as delusional as you are.

>>20535135
He thinks he has an answer to this. He pictures muslims as hiding behind human shields to carry out the terrorist attacks while sees israel protecting their interests the conventional way.

It was a long time ago since I heard him talk about this on a podcast but the general idea is something like that.

>>20535361
Ah yes, the classic Zogbot argument. He's just another golem, so

>>20535334
>be nigger
>is atheist
Lel at least you're ahead of the curve

>>20535479

>Ahead of the curve
Atheists are burdens on society.

>>20534905
Absolutely gay and boring.

>>20535346
>modern jews are a reform sect of orthodox jews
And Orthodox Jews are Edomites practicing Babylonian witchcraft. They are not racially nor religiously continuous with the people of the Old Testament

>yes, that is generally what we call a reform, especially if the organization resists it.
Jesus wasn't Trying to "reform" the Pharisees. He denounced them as vipers and imposters.

>Jesus and his followers were seeking to transform the church from within they had no concept at the time of splitting off and forming their own religion
Why do you keep conflating "the church" with the flase jewish religion that propped up after the exile? You've literally fallen for Jewish tricks. Christ wanted to fulfill the true covenant which became the Chrurch, not reform the false pagan jewish religion of the pharisees.

>>20535527
>Why do you keep conflating "the church" with the flase jewish religion that propped up after the exile? You've literally fallen for Jewish tricks.
because its easier to say than w/e you want me to say, its just a generic term you schizoid.

As far as our talk goes, i either don't know enough or your just gonna keep schizo posting at me so i'm gonna go read about it for now

>>20535503
I meant ahead of the nigger curve, which means lower average overall.

He was BTFO by an Arab in a Goodreads review.

>>20535168
wtf I never though of it that way. that image is 100% true.

>>20535724
Link?

>>20534932
This.
Considering he's a fairly intelligent man who has used his critical thinking skills fairly well he still reveals astonishing levels of dull on retardation.

>>20535670
It's not a generic term, you faggot. Talking about a "Jewish church" is conflating two different religions, which I suspect was your intention
