I like rap, but feel the same way sometimes. It really depends on the artist if it sounds like that I feel like.

I wish there was a world were communist parties were merging more than they were splitting

Religion is not torture, religious people can use it for torture but that’s the fault of the people, not the religion

atheism is cool, but antitheism is not.

My point is that politics should remain secular. But that doesn’t mean that ideas inspired by religion aren’t allowed in politics, as long as they’re not reactionary and have secular argumentation.

I agree, I was tricked into a conversation by a muslim man who started talking about heaven and that islam is the way into it. He then made me recite the shahada. On another occasion two christians came to me and said that jesus loves me.

The point is religion doesn’t have to influence politics

I’m saying it doesn’t have to be.

You’re right, it doesn’t make a difference in that case.

Faith doesn’t necessarily mean blind faith

I also don’t believe that it has any bearing on politics. Thats my point. I believe spirituality and politics are two different domains.

Well I don’t necessarily believe in a god, but if there’s a god, it’s probably a monotheistic god, which is what most religious people believe. The case for polytheistic gods existing, who are the majority of the gods in your argument is pretty weak

I’m not saying that, I don’t believe in a god of the gaps. I’m just saying we don’t know what’s out there

Not all of them, but some do.

But we are talking about the beginning of the universe, something that we don’t understand yet. So in that way the existence of god, and god not existing are both metaphysical explanations

In that case christians who are open to the idea of being wrong are also agnostic. You could use agnostic as an adjective to atheism, but I believe agnostic, as a noun, is the way to be truly materialist

I agree. Religion is something personal, and religious institutions only push one ‘correct’ view

But there’s also no proof that god doesn’t exist, so the actual materialist thing to do is to be agnostic

But humans ARE naturally spiritual, spirituality literally goes back tens of thousands of years, and maybe even longer. And this was before hierarchy existed.

I joined Lemmygrad because I came from GenZedong, and stayed there
