I remember watching an interview with a mushroom man, he posited that humans have receptors built in for magic mushrooms because humans used to have an organ that provided hallucinogenic euphoria. This allowed humans to survive in groups without killing eachother, then religion eventually evolved socially and replaced it. Now that we have technology and modern governments thats slowly replacing religion.

It was a neat idea anyways. Its also neat to think about how religions could be a form of evolution, even though they arent technically biological changes.

You can just call yourself an atheist. Hell, if you call yourself a pastafarian you are basically an anti-theist.

Out of curiosity, when you say "all religion", does that include the many atheistic religions?

[-] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 2 points 23 minutes ago

Oh look, the old "aThEiSm Is A rElIgIoN" trope.

Seriously, you guys need some new material. If Jesus were real he'd be looking for new writers.

Just out of curiosity, who is this question directed at?

You mean like Pastafarian?

[-] tutter@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 3 hours ago

I mean you go girl more power to ya but it definitely isn't easier to explain pastafarianism than agnosticism to normies. Noone except programmers and other too online people even know it exists (yes i am also a terminally online freak relax peeps, real recognize real)

That's the neat part - you don't have to explain anything. You just assert the truthfulness of your religion and act offended when people point out how ridiculous it is.

Gotta love how one person writing a silly essay, which didn't have anything to do with atheism, just being a gaff, got turned into something very atheist and very serious.

[-] agent_nycto@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

This is very offensive to me. I'm Eastern Orthodox, that's not spaghetti that's lo-mein with fish balls. Heathen degenerate.

"I'm not religious"

Can't say I've ever had to explain anything more than that.

[-] IronBird@lemmy.world 1 points 14 minutes ago

i prefer "i'm not superstitious"

So how will you teach little girls that they're the problem? How will you fondle little boys? How will you comitt a genocide to prove that your religion is more moral?

[-] agent_nycto@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

You can do all of those without having to actually believe in a specific religion. And the first two happen very easily without religion.

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

For real. Literally you can just say, "You are the problem. All girls and women are the problem." There's zero need to bring God into the equation to live a good, normal life.
