Nah this list is up to date. Italian brain rot is still fresh, fresher than any Ohio meme

I’m not going to… use click bait sounding arguments

religion is a cult that’s actively making the world a worse place

So what you did there is contradict yourself.

And considering that you keep responding to my comments and (poorly) defending your argument, you clearly care a lot about my opinion.

You also really gotta clean up this thesis of yours. Besides the brutal and ignorant simplicity, you need to find a noun other than “cult.” I get what you’re trying to say, but by using cult in this manner you are essentially arguing that we need to change the definition of the word “cult” instead of remove all religion (which seems to be your goal).*

*I’m not really going to expand more on what I mean by how you use the word “cult” cause it would require me to write a much more interesting essay than your poorly thought out idea.

“The over 100 upvotes say otherwise”🤓 grow up lmao

And buddy we literally agreed ab how scripture/prophets/religious ideas are often co-opted for power over a group of people.

I’m just tryna let you know that your argument sounded stupid lol. Try using specific evidence for arguments next time.

For example “religion is a cult…” is an awful start to an argument. 1) wtf is religion, that is a very broad term 2) the religion you’re mentioning is written in the singular, are you trying to say that all world religions are actually the same religion? 3) what about this (singular?) cult is actively making the world worse?

Instead try saying something like “Zionist politicians purposely mislead their constituents through well chosen scripture in order to garner support for the genocide of thousands.”

See how my statement was the effectively the same as your argument, but it uses more precise language and points to a specific modern day example.

Why didn’t you start with that 😭 your original argument sounded so silly. Hell you could’ve said smtn interesting like how an originally innocuous scripture was co-opted for nefarious purposes but instead you just wanted to sound like an 8th grader who found r/atheism for the first time 💔

Dawg I ain’t saying organized religion is innocent. But it is false to claim that the sole purpose of religion is to control the masses. Your original comment was also just wrong like bruh, how can you claim that a figure like Jesus (the guy flipping tables in the marketplace, preaching ab how the poor are the most holy, saving the lepers, etc) was actually an evil psychopath who had a long game where he was going to fleece the poor of their wealth and threaten people with eternal damnation so they would follow him. That’s just some braindead conspiracy shit where you’re afraid everyone is out to get you. Grow up

You can’t call every christian a rube and then make such a simplistic accusation about organized religion. Yes there are (major) flaws with organized religion, but surely you realize your statement is at best hyperbole and at worst moronic

No shit people were asking if you were tired of drinking soylent. To the average person it sounds damn near psychopathic if you get all your nutritional needs from a drink. Lock in bro

Is this shi real 😭 isnt soylent a made up food from a dystopian movie? How do so many people in this thread have experience with soylent

Depends on your feed. rn most people are getting gore lol. Some part of the algorithm got fucked and it looks like liveleak.

Most of the racism I see on ig comedic and self aware. Not that it’s good, but it’s not meant as a far-right agenda pushing racism. More of a “I’m gonna make fun of minorities bc I think it’s funny and I don’t care about politics”

I’m confused about what you’re trying to argue. I don’t get what your example of a book about Mars is trying to say. You’ve completely missed the point of what I’m trying to say.

You’re literally complaining to an internet stranger about being called a term which imo shows some level of endearment. You’re worrying about this comment thread likely because you don’t have a job.

Broski no need to get so pressed. What do you think fiction is? How would a young, impressionable audience, interpret this work?

Works of fiction don’t exist in a vacuum. They are directly inspired and informed from the world we live in. In a similar vain, the impact of fiction does not exist in a vacuum. You don’t read a book and come away with no thoughts related to it. You don’t just throw away knowledge like that. If anything fiction works directed at children have an outsized impact on how we perceive the world compared to the space they occupy in literature.

ion know why you saying “again” like you made a big point of it being a children’s book (you didn’t). I’m just saying I don’t like media like this. It feels like they’re delegitimizing research that is already brushed off by society as not useful compared to something in a stem field.

We can have different opinions lol

Ehh idk about this take. I agree with the article that there are some commercial historical mediums like the History Channel that interpret the past in an absurd/almost malicious way. However modern archaeology does a really good job of finding out how objects from the past were used and how people interacted with their environment. A toilet is not really gonna be up for debate as for what its use was. Historical text, fecal remains, toilets looking pretty similar for the past thousand years, is gonna tell you it’s a toilet.

The notion of our interpretation of the past being completely flawed is kinda true if it was like the 1950s and we were talking about non-western cultures from a western perspective.

No such thing as racism against a religion 😬 Jews aren’t a race despite what zionist media would tell you.

Not saying that anti-semitism is acceptable and all Jews are evil, but I don’t think Jews are so special that they can be considered more than a religious group and given an apartheid state
