We only have to convince people to hate one more car than they already despise.

A bit like the consensus that most gods don't exist.

I believe in all gods cause I'm a rebel

That's the spirit! What fun you must have imagining them all fighting about who's real...

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Actually I find it deeply depressing. Everyone used to think like me, but then Abrahamic monotheism came along and introduced this stupid pointless fight over what's real and ended up leading to hundreds of pointless genocides of indigenous cultures during the age of colonisation. In my book anyone who carries on this pointless tradition of claiming everyone else's gods aren't real is a dick.

I believe in Gods, but my Gods have no problem with you or anyone else doing whatever the heck you want, and we'll probably end up in the same afterlife...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

NoooOoOo, you need to worship like I worship or you're not doing it right.

Not if I get my way. I'll have access to a holodeck that can make me food, and you'll never see me again!

They sound like great Gods, and I'll believe in them even though they don't exist. Where do we meet up to sing?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Around the fire, we can sing to praise Óðinn. It calms the mind and inspires. And I agree with your sentiment exactly - I'm Nietzschean in my philosophy, but I use belief as a tool, at least while I'm personally figuring out where to go in light of the death of god.

My gods are old and come to me in dreams to show me an ancient city, deep beneath the ocean. I think they're trying to tell me about Atlantis.

[–] johnlawrenceaspden 1 points 1 year ago

I do hope that city isn't called R'lyeh.....
