Skepticism is easy. Comfortable. Securing. It removes all real sense of responsibility. It is the ultimate cope. Until you realize that axioms are beliefs, true skepticism should doubt all things, all rules and laws of reason. It is to step into oblivion, into madness.
All value, and every trust, and every volition, requires faith.

Ever notice how these atheists always post
>I just can't believe enough bro
and not Christians posting
>I just can't not believe
It means that the christcuck is unwilling to accept opposing beliefs. The atheist is willing to entertain a god, a mark of an educated mind. Religion is a spook and brainwashes you into accepting one world view.

I will never understand this wish among those who are right-thinking enough to be in some sense incapable of religion, to wish it.

It isn't worth having community with the wrong.

It is better to be right than it is to belong.

>Skepticism is comfortable
Is it? I doubt that; sure if you are told to be skeptical of certain things and in certain ways then you will always remain comfortable. But that kind of skepticism is merely Bill Nyhilism; just regurgitating shit from people whose minds have been filled with shit from an exogenous source. That's not skepticism, that's conformity.

>True skepticism should doubt all things, ends in madness
Define sanity.

"I can't not believe" and "I can't believe" are two sides of the same coin, all it means is that both atheists and Christians are made insecure by entertaining the beliefs of their opponents. Atheists are made uncomfortable by hellfire, Christians are made uncomfortable by a black-screen death. It doesn't mean anyone is more intelligent, or a greater mind, it just means that they are both dumb, have childish concerns, and probably haven't actually read the Bible anyhow. In short, you're a fucking flathead.

Let me put it this way:

I can't not believe God != I am inable but not unwilling to accept God.

These are two different statements. A Christian is unable and unwilling to entertain the idea of no afterlife. Atheism doesn't exclusively mean you reject God because you are an atheist. It means you entertain the thought of God and the afterlife.

>>15331720
To add, a Christian accepts God because he is a Christian unlike an atheist. This is the difference between being an atheist and being a cuck.

That's stupid, nobody except a fag like you who was trying to score a point would logically parse a sentence in such an arbitrary way.

"I can't not believe in God" admits a capacity for doubt that you choose to ignore. The Christian is telling you that he can doubt, but finds no reason to in his experience. You need to go back to Talmud school and think up better tricks than obfuscating your lack of wit with logical pedantry.

~'better to will something, than nothing at all.'

Go deeper with the antinatalism/nihilism until it disgusts you, and science is exposed for the vain pursuit it is there will be no updloading of consciousness, much less Self in a singularity -- reach for the uncanny, not the absurd

Might i interest you in esoteric stalinism?
Esoteric Stalinism holds that Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin was in fact the living dialectic, the dialectic made flesh.
In his body we see, in his one crippled and one good arm, the clear sign of the dual natures contained within.

The internal dialectic of Great Stalin was externalized in the material with his own antithesis: Leon Trotsky. Trotsky is not a villain in Esoteric Stalinism, but a necessary antagonist through which the dialectic is able to progress, both in facilitating the actualization of the will of Great Stalin in inscrutable ways through his distinct actions and in serving to develop the progression of Stalin himself during His time with us on earth.

According to Esoteric Stalinists one can reach an understanding of things simply through contemplating Stalin, as He is himself the greater dialectic which contains all the movements of the universe to ever be.
