How do you cope with the fact that you're living in a world created by Abrahamic religions? How can you take humanity seriously when some delusional carpenter and goat herder managed to change its course forever? How can you enjoy literature when you know most of them are full of bible references? How can you tolerate the stench of religion all around you without suffocating?

I'm more worried about how high my alcohol tolerance has become lately.

Biblical fan fiction but we can't talk about that here.

Yeah, me too, though it goes in waves. Yesterday I felt really chill just after two beers for some reason. Strange.

How do you cope with the fact that you evolved from smelly hairy apes instead of superior cephalopod beings?

He is God, so picking His side is pretty easy, actually.

Fighting God is very hard. Good luck with that. Ludicrously hard.

A bunch of apes stared into a placid lake, and after drooling gape-jawed for several hours, their stupid and tiny brains amazed by the concept of a shiny reflective service, they went absolutely mad. They started shaving their faces and wearing restrictive leggings, both things gave them rashes, but they did it anyway because of the mirror madness.
Then they started smearing their shit on the walls and demanding it be recognized as beauty while they destroyed the paradise around them to make lawn furniture. For over 10,000 years, the primary industry of these ape's imagination has been to invent an excuse, any excuse, whether it is Jews or Satan or the Gods or blaming Religion, for why their world has become such a miserable shit hole, all the while ignoring the simple reality that it is their own idiocy that has brought plagues and war down upon them.

What part of this stupid business do you think deserves to be taken seriously?

Compared to what?
Your living room? I guess the world might seem scary from that perspective.
Compared to any other planet? Compared to most of Earth's history? If you want a species to take seriously, pick the nautilus or the cockroach or the crocodile. If you want a squalling, stupid, spolit brat overflowing its own diaper with shit, then you may entertain humanity.

>but muh industries
If it weren't for billions of years of living and dying and geological activity, the huge supply of readily available fossil fuels would not have been there to power the industrial revolution. They aren't there anymore, and if some event forces mankind back into the iron age, we'll be stuck there forever.
Mankind was handed a cake walk. All of our misery is self-inflicted, and so all of it is deserved and comical.

I'd bet most ITT are atheists.

This is the anwser. Humanity is still recovering from the shock of slave morailty and Abrahamic stupidity. But it's just a phase. Too bad we won't live to see it, though.

Western civilization is based on dualism you fucking idiot. It's normal for there to be only atheists or Christians. Both are the heigh of their own thing anyway.

Top lel. /sci/ is mostly high school failures who are struggling with calculus. The few grad or PhD students on /sci/ only go there for shitposting. Have fun in your highly intellectual "0.999... vs 1" or "what is consciousness" threads.
