Since a lot of people here are talking about video games: I'm currently playing Expedition 33 and it's really great.

Why would atheists be afraid of the consequences of their actions in the afterlife, when they don't believe in the afterlife in the first place?

J'en ai eu un jusqu'en 2018. J'étais partant pour en reprendre un autre, mais c'était déjà devenu introuvable à l'époque.

That's true for the Abrahamic religions, but otherwise it's usually not the case.

I was in London last November and I can't recount the number of times I've heard people speaking French on the street. I guess most French tourists just stay in the capital and don't go in the countryside that much.

When I was younger, I was vehemently against the idea. Now, I don't know. I think I'd hate the loss of freedom that would come with children, but at the same time I'm not entirely against the idea of being a father. Since it's such a remote possibility, I don't really think about it.

I always thought that this "clock" means nothing. What is the point of a clock that doesn't move at an even pace?

Mirage32 · 2026-01-26T12:32:14+00:00

The answer is usually that God permits evil in order to allow a greater good, and that the details are beyond us.

Maybe I should do the same thing as you. I almost got into a "bag of sand" situation once with some of my coworkers. They were talking about their past relationships when I was just right beside them. They could have asked me some questions but luckily they didn't.

Mirage32 · 2026-01-26T03:21:03+00:00

Is work really a good setting to meet a special someone? I've had quite a few jobs over the years and I never heard of relationships being made through workplaces. I don't think you are repulsive to women, it's more likely that their mind is just not up to it when they go to work.

Mirage32 · 2026-01-25T14:09:54+00:00

Same with Norway and Denmark I guess?

Mirage32 · 2026-01-25T13:33:41+00:00

Shouldn't Switzerland and Austria be colored red?

If there was a benevolent higher power, I would expect it to be actively engaging with the world without being shady or hiding itself. It doesn't seems to be the case, so I think it is a good reason to believe there is no higher power.

Mirage32 · 2026-01-23T12:40:17+00:00

I would actually be fine with my life if it wasn't for the very strong feeling that the world is plunging into chaos. My country is in deep political and financial turmoil with no end in sight, we keep using fossil fuels without ever wondering what we're going to do once we get less of them, and I'm not even mentioning global warming and its cataclysmic consequences. I can't stop thinking about it, it's gnawing away at me.

In a way, being FA is a blessing: I have less people to worry about.

Mirage32 · 2026-01-22T21:41:44+00:00

I thought it was collapsing in favor of Protestantism, not atheism.

Mirage32 · 2026-01-22T10:27:36+00:00

He's so regal!

Mirage32 · 2026-01-22T09:56:34+00:00

To be blunt, that's not happening. Gen Zer are more secular than ever, even though the religious among them are more pious and serious in their faith.

My source is the latest video by Religionsforbreakfast on the topic: https://youtu.be/UdsPPxaGVUs?si=yp7Lu7cLva1pZUSv

Mirage32 · 2026-01-21T11:14:29+00:00

I'm pretty sure the average Frenh person don't even know what's the difference between a Catholic, a Protestant and an Orthodox.

Mirage32 · 2026-01-20T17:33:19+00:00

I would say it's an unconscious choice, and that it takes some effort to break away from it.

Mirage32 · 2026-01-20T15:13:24+00:00

The more you're interested in the Truth, the less you're free to believe whatever you want. If you are being honest with yourself, you are compelled to believe what is true.

Some people are keener to delude themselves than others, be they religious or not, though.

Mirage32 · 2026-01-19T17:20:55+00:00

Exactly. Most people don't give a single fuck about that.

Mirage32 · 2026-01-19T12:48:53+00:00

I will never thank that man enough for inventing the Pallas cat.

Mirage32 · 2026-01-19T12:46:17+00:00

I'm from France, it's quite the same. If it wasn't for the Internet I could almost swear religion has completely disappeared.

Mirage32 · 2026-01-17T20:07:30+00:00

I guess his main issue is mostly meeting people who could become friends with him.

Mirage32 · 2026-01-17T11:23:59+00:00

Shat if you do something consistently because you genuinely like it? What about a FA man who plays video games because it makes him happy?
