The year is 2016. Man has peered into the darkest corners of the cosmos, and observed the universe on its smallest scale. You walk around with more computing power in your pocket than was available to all of NASA in the 1970s. You live twice as long as your ancestors ever could have dreamed of, you have food in abundance and the future is brighter than ever. Humanity has achieved more in the last century than it ever has in its entire history. People are happier, freer, crime is lower, you're safer, more secure, and the entire wealth of human knowledge is available to you at your finger tips. You live in the dawn of humanity, you were born after the long dark night and you will never know the suffering that every other generation did.
And you still think the words of dehydrated desert madmen in the middle east are literal truth, you unironically believe in God, and think homosexuality is a bad thing.
You're literally a walking insult to everything humanity has ever achieved, lmao.
Indeed senpai, the very concept of religion is literally an insult to humanity itself.

Its incredible how godcucks literally can't even properly argument in defense of their "religion" and instead shitpost memes. It truly shows how their subhuman minds are unable to function on the modern world.

>Attention citizen, the Bureau of Happiness and Fulfillment (BHF) has determined that you are happier than you have ever been. Their findings also confirm that life is better than ever and that the past was horrible. The study ultimately concluded that you are lucky to be part of this progressive utopia. Failure to acknowledge the validity of these official government findings will result in a full investigation with the potential for reeducation treatment at a state facility. Please sign below to confirm that you are a happy and satisfied citizen. Again, failure to do so will trigger an investigation and medical evaluation to determine the malfunction which causes you to dispute official government studies. Thank you and have a nice day.

What the fuck does any of that shit you posted in OP have to do with finding God or even religion in general?
Tyler Cook
new atheism is a religion that worships modernism and materialism dude science lmao
Landon Walker
god used to be the explanation for the unexplainable but everything has a fucking explanation now the only place to 'find god' is outside the universe, existing only as a construct of your mind if you believe in your own mental constructs you are self-deluding

Also, by what measurement are we ranking achievement, because I would give that to the 19th century desu pham

Things have objectively gotten worse for a lot of people:
The boom of scientific progress surrounding the industrial revolution that laid the ground work for it?

Quality thread so far lads.
I'll make an argument for religion. My standpoint on this has never been the supernatural belief in Christianity, rather the philosophical view. This argument also only applies to Christianity for the West, certainly not Islam.
Basically to understand where I'm coming from you need to look at the two types of people we are comparing here. You have four children, two boys, two girls, all brought up in different environments.
One boy and one girl brought up in a Christian household, one boy and one girl in an atheist household.
The Christian households from the start will be taught morals. Whatever the justification behind these morals is (usually jeebus), they are undoubtedly being taught what is good and what isn't.
The Christian kids will attend church, learn manners and social skills, and usually pursue masculine and feminine hobbies respectively (sports, maybe hunting for the guys, girls will pursue music, art, whatever). Obviously not to say those hobbies are gender exclusive, just examples.
The Christian kids will grow up to both raise nuclear families, instill that same sense of right and wrong in their children that has brought us where we are today, and continue society as a whole.
The athirst children will do "whatever makes them happy", get an arts degree, contribute nothing, drain the system, etc. Etc.
The difference here is that one group has a sense of higher consciousness, that of the society, while the other simply indulgences themselves as much as possible because hey, as long as they're happy it's good.
Anyway, not sure if this made any sense, but my argument is: Christian morals are good for society.

And you still think the words of unemployed Jewish intellectual in XIXth century Europe are literal truth, you unironically believe in historical materialism, and think the private ownership of the means of production is a bad thing.

Admittedly crime has tailed off but since when was I given access to the library of Alexandria? And go to the Congo and tell everyone there the suffering has ended. They need to know >And you still think the words of dehydrated desert madmen in the middle east are literal truth, you unironically believe in God, and think homosexuality is a bad thing.

Atheists are wealthier than christcucks, thus, in economic terms, they contribute more to society. They also are less likely to commit crimes and are more educated.

Wyatt Bailey
"GOD" is the power to unite organisms under a single purpose, good or bad. We call the bad "satan", cults, hate groups, dark alliances, etc. Religion utilizes this truth, for selfless or selfish pursuits. To find the exact words to express this is pointless because everyone has their own interpretation of the definition. So, "religion", "philosophy", whatever you want to call it, it's just a common way of thinking accompanied by similar ritualistic actions. Just being alive is being part of a "religion". So if the people of the world can get their fucking shit together, we, as a planet can achieve a proper place in time and the universe.

reading all these replies took years off my life. WHY is there no religion board to contain all the athiest and christian shitposting
