Someone post the pasta about the dude hanging out with pleb friends who comes to terms with the ontological fact of himself or some other nonsense

>>6768290

Except it's not actually an insult: OP just took it the wrong way. I was in the thread, and it was pretty apparent to me that the "you" in the sentence did not mean literally the OP, but the generalized "you" - as in, you read Plato to become an intellectual. It was a compliment.

When boards stop being fun they start having humor threads.

You are worse than a 14 yo new atheist, and on top of that your religion makes you think you have all the answers and whoevet doesn't think like you is retarded.

You have a problem, please calm down.

This is a solved problem in metaphysics.

>>6769688
The answer is quite simple then, you lack faith.
The resurrection and other miracles are meant to be taken literally.

I should make cool banners for Fedora vs Christposters

One time a christian asked me how can I believe in atheism (his words) if there's no after life in it.

All Christians are just cucked over an hypothetical eternity after death tbh.

>>6769795
not really.
tbh death is less frightening than eternity
I only speak for myself and my immediate entourage obv

>>6769692
They're now in the minority, and thus as befitting contrarian legacy they must be loud and abrasive.

>>6769800
>thinks he can experience actual death and its not just the start of the period which your life lapsed.
When people pray for a painless death they are really just asking for no pain prior to their departure. The actual death can't be painful let alone experienced.

>All these people arguing like retards in a humor thread
Haha guys, I think I get the joke

I don't understand why people get mad at christposting.

"Look at me, I make massive logical jumps in basic reasoning, my retardation is self-evident."

"Shut up retard ur dumb"

"LOL UMAD EDGY FEDORA IMPLYING INTELLECTUALS DON'T BELIEVE IN GOD"

If you're aware that there isn't actually any sound argument to the existence of God, and that it's an illogical idea, there's no reason to respond to them. All you're going to get is ^ which validates their self-esteem, as if they are illogical enough to be sure in the existence of God, then they might be illogical enough to think that insulting someone makes them superior to who they are insulting. That and trolls will pretend to be christian just to annoy you, because christianity is the new edgy.

Ignore the posting, and you'll solve the problem. If someone who's christian is interested in actual discussion on the matter(rare, because people who are interested in intelligent debate usually stop being religious really, really fast after realizing how illogical the claims are), go ahead and have a discussion with them. People are are only looking to feed off of anger because it validates their low self-esteem.

>>6770652
im guessing that the last five points are how you have felt for about the last week, maybe only a few days, at the most two months, and that in a week or so you'll be back in nihilistic despair. thats my prediction anyway

>>6770667
if that's what you need to tell yourself to feel better about your situation, whatever it is.

I've been feeling good about life for a couple of years now. I highly recommend heavy philosophical and scientific education. There's a point you hit in understanding existence where everything simply becomes "fucking sweet".

>>6770664
nobody's the master of their destiny, though.

I slap his shit.

>>6770771
>>6770777
lmao i just realised this is the humor thread.

damn shit got real serious quick

>>6770757
that "point" you hit is basically where you have enough knowledge and understanding that is based on what is observable that you can more easily come to terms with your own existence, and not feel any desire to attempt to seek refuge in baseless claims that give you the illusion of security. Your question is really fucking weird, it's asking me to define what the "point" is, as though it's not different for different people, or if you think I mean something else by saying "point".

>>6770771

>>6770871

haha nice one


as for the second point, idk maybe i was being a little edgy, but the way you said "cool and interesting" makes it sound bourgeois as fuck, or like a think veneer covering up a deep deep nihilism

but yeah in general interesting is good

>>6770901
lot of interpretation here

>>6770910
sorry i guess your more thorough thinking then ive given you credit for.

>>6770901
this guy >>6770910 isn't me

Basically, I don't see a point in bitching about what reality is, when you have a general understanding of what it is without falling into any baseless claims. Feeling sad about it is a waste of time, and I spend my time working on defining my concepts and learning through discussion, learning through reading, and working on producing media to support a meager lifestyle in society which will hopefully one day lead to some fun shit like actually influencing thousands of people's minds. There's no point to nihilistic dread, it's just as much of a waste of time as seeking salvation in a fairy tale. My stance is that if you don't have the self-control to stay away from nihilistic suffering, obtain the self-control.

>>6770593

And you are a "relatively handsome" 22 year old getting a liberal arts degree who read half of the Concise Summa over a month so you could quote it on an imageboard in the apartment you play adult in while your parents shell out their money, while arguing and putting down people who disagree with you. Christposters, not Christians, clog up this damn board with inane posts that only serve to jack off their sense that "there must be something, because Aquinas was a smarty pants and I identify with Kierkegaard and i don't like the fact that the human body decomposes when it dies". Stop identifying people who have different opinions with a stereotype. Christposting is the /lit/ equivalent of "get in here bros, fuck it, we did it". You're not special my man, eat shit.

>tfw realizing that it is not only unlikely to assume that humans are aware of a divine presence that exists, but absurd

The only reason that this appears to be the case is because of "philosophers" like Descartes, Hume, and Kant who made the intellect its own object and denied that it could have real knowledge of anything external.
When you sincerely think that all you see and hear is the sensible impression, and all you think about is your own thought, then of course everything will end in "absurdity" until you more or less become a solipsist.

Here, here!

>>6772225
what "sensible impression" lies beyond these things that isn't simply a baseless claim?

and wtf is wrong with solipsism? you bully p-zombie.

>>6772225
p.s. knowing that you are in the presence of divinity is no more absurd than knowing that you are in the presence of your boss or your king. Divine is title of honour which signifies having authority over all creation (or at least over mortals in the polytheisitic religions), which is no more absurd than a king who has authority over everyone in his kingdom, or a boss who has authority over everyone in his company.

>>6772242
We don't see the sensible impression, we see BY MEANS of the sensible impression. We don't see a sensible impression of a tree. We see a tree by means of the sensible impression.

>>6772243
And knowing that you are in such a presence is not absurd either. When you are in the presence of your boss, you fear for your job. When you are in the presence of your king, you fear for your life. When you are in the presence of divinity, you fear for your very being/soul.

no i'm not an oldfag at all but its not like its an old phenomenon to use an abbreviated phrase at a specific point in a narrative to some effect tbh

and i guess im too dumb to catch your master rusery it honestly looked like a string of unbroken idiocy

>tfw not sure if i should doubt my faith in myself or 4chanity

>>6771427
Is this legit?

>>6772262
From a thread a while back.

>>6772246
well you can use poetry and wordplay all you want to justify your belief in spooks, it makes no difference to me

>>6772260
you could scroll up and look at the context, of what I responded to instead of treating my post as though it stands alone and wasn't responding to anything. might clear things up for you.

>>6772262
don't get excited, none of them are ever going to tuch ur penis

worse than referencing the bible.

>>6772306
>unbroken chain of idiocy

ie and youre just a link in it is what i was admitting to falsely assuming although im sure youll get that when you reread my post but in any case

Christwankery is much worse than fedoraism.

Poetic license. The same series of comics has Hemingway talking about "The Subpar Gatsby"

>>6768377
i see this all the time. what is this from?

>>6771017
your activity itself is nihilistic. its of little consequence that you dont experience a feeling of "nihilistic dread". and seriously? your biggest dream is to "influence people"? you're a living cliche, and also really shallow (and nihilistic)

lol at anyone that thinks "nihilism" is exclusively a feeling

>>6773323

This guy gets it.

>>6769828
owned. ezmoded. SHIT DAMN. i didn't think this post was that good but then i got to the last half and GODDAMN

>>6772262
Yeah. It was a stupid thread.

>>6773384
what's wrong with living a cliche? cliches are considered "cliche" for a reason.

cliche is a spook btw.

>>6773429
only because the anti-social members and fat bitches sperged out all over it, running it into the ground with their insecurities and thinking that girls on the internet are going to tuch their penis somehow.

it was pretty nice the first half.

>>6772205
I hope you realize that there are actual Christians on the internet, I chose to be baptised nearly a decade ago when I was 18 and I've been a regular part of my church's choir for even longer. I even took up being their part-time organist for a month after their organist had to quit due to arthritis.

if thr dude from the thread that got deleted still has questions about judaism/religion ask me here

>>6769817

This

>>6773639
Was gonna post this. Christposting is shitposting

>>6773650
tbh is a /mu/ meme.
i thought i started it but ive come to the conclusion that ive merely instigated it's adoption by the /mu/ collective (and inherently 4chan as a respective whole) into meme status.
it was an inane instinct of sincere post-ironic expression as it's application has shown. i was supposed to forget about after evening of posting it roughly 4 times but instead im now seeing it saturated on opposite boards and opposite timezones.
it's a dank meme indeed imo.

It's funny, I actually don't get it though, what is non-intellectual about Plato, he's one of the classic authors? If Plato isn't for intellectuals, who is?

>>6774210
>he's one of the classic authors
Muh one of the authors beyond refutation .
Just like Camus amiright?

>>6773836

>>6774237
Nah I didn't say he was beyond refutation, just that reading him is intellectual, I guess its funny that that black guy said that though.

Too true. This is coming from a pleb and I can absolutely see everything you're saying in these shitty comics. They're usually posted by first and second year lit and English students.
