Why are all these guys "card-carrying" skeptics/atheists? Is it because they desperately want to be part of a religious community, while simultaneously upholding an image of individualism? What would happen when they are presented with their own internal self-contradiction?

If you go back any farther you'd have been shot for being a communist, a homosexual, a long-hair, etc. People didn't in recent memory allow for freedom of speach. That only lasted for the late 90s and early two-thousands. Don't believe me? Go get banned for unpopular opinions in current year then check out how people talked in the early two-thousands. It's been tumbling down since then. Even HP triggered christfaggots to the point of HP getting on the news as satan worship when it's merely atheistic in nature. The way that works is you MUSTworship satan if not christian. That's just how bible thumpers think.if you shat on christianity you'd have been killed pre-90s. In the 90s people didn't read philosphy as much as they do now. Just don't believe in shit. Duh. THere's no point in having those books but the goth, the emo, that edgy phase of expression caused them to be written during that specific time peroid.

I have not, and will not, ever read philosphy to begin with though. Of any kind. Only sheep need to be programmed like that so it's very ironic to have some maverick book about programming other mavericks to be mavericks. That's not how sheeple work. No one should have written those ironic things. It's pointless.

Shitloads of people have believed it for a long fucking time. And if you read about the death of Christ a lot of powerful romans that you'd think would normally brush an inconvenient political situation under the rug and make up a story were shitting themselves for some reason.

>> No.13820604

>>13820563
Tacitus is the only Roman author who mentions the death of Christ, and even that quote is disputed (a lot of textual critics think it was inserted later by a Christian scribe). But even if we are to take the quote as genuine, he only mentions him to give context and explain who the Christians were, since they were the group Nero blamed for the fires. Anyway, the acknowledgement of Jesus by a Roman writer doesn't prove that Jesus was divine. Tacitus acknowledged a lot of different figures in his writings; are we to conclude that everyone Tacitus mentions is divine?

Atheism is gay

>> No.13826860

>>13818803
The problem with atheism is that some people treat their lack of belief in a god as a religion, and many even try to spread it to others, like a religion. Catholicism and many other branches of Christianity are based around good will and self-improvement, the average atheist will see the lack of a god as a reason to stop virtuous acts. This drives stagnation because the moment you stop trying to constantly improve your life, the moment you stop considering new ideas, (The Bible is a great read desu.) that is when you stagnate. That is the genesis of these youtube shitstains.

>> No.13826887

>>13826860

No, the real problem with atheism is that it isn't taken to its full conclusion. Most atheists don't believe in a deity, which is a good first step, but nothing else. If you want to be authentic in your atheism, you also need to look at the artificial seperations between good and evil, the absence of which nullifies any overriding moral system, and the artificial seperation between being and non-being, which makes the whole idea of creation and a teleology of existence void. Atheism, when not taken to its final conclusion, will merely revert to old theistic dogmas out of convenience, and can never truly set the nonbeliever free
