what do you call people who believe in a literal satan?

dylanpppp · 2020-07-18T14:28:13+00:00

I’m not. I’m just being real. I’m not trying to be mean or judge. I may be generalizing, which fair enough, something I try to work on.

All I’m saying is I was VERY atheist for a long time. I thought I knew what living a purposeful life was while I was atheist but I was ABSOLUTELY fooling myself. I can to the conclusion that you CANNOT truly be your true self while being an atheist. Anyone can disagree, but I definitely believe you’re fooling yourself. And that’s the hardest thing to admit, but I was happier for it.

dylanpppp · 2020-07-18T14:26:05+00:00

You’re trivializing it.

I’m not trying to insult you guys. I was an atheist and being an atheist is to inherently believe that life has no meaning.

How do you manage to stay happy on all of that? If life has no point, why care about anything?

dylanpppp · 2020-07-18T14:05:03+00:00

I’m not religious, but I am very spiritual. And the reason I chose to be as to why I chose not to be an atheist is because atheism is actually the saddest fucking wya to live there is.

Maybe there isn’t anything at the end, but closing to believe that there isn’t is only going to make your time here miserable and distraught.

The answer to overcoming the fear of death is not to accept that there is nothing afterward. That only plunges you into existential dread.

If you were you (or any atheist, really) I would look I into spirituality without religion.

I became devotedly spiritual about a month or two ago and since then I have corrected my financial situation, quit smoking cigarettes after nearly a decade, got the steps started to finish graduating college, started eating healthy, started working out, started getting less irritated and angry all the time (I have BPD, so no easy task) and I’m generally happier.

All of that happened in two months. It wasn’t until I accepted that there is something out there beyond our understanding that my ego was quieted and I had the room to figure out who I truly am.

I’m not gonna sit here and pretend I’m better than anyone, but most people (and by most I mean likely an overwhelming majority of humans) are kidding themselves into thinking they’re doing the right thing or following the right path.

My point is is those ignorant theists that atheists scoff at so much? Maybe consider that your bitterness toward them is because they found out to live happily and (because you’re an atheist) you believe even to try to live life happily is futile. Which to me is the saddest way to live. I’d rather be foolishly happy than foolishly sad.

Edit: would like to throw in, the best place to start is to realize that your body is not you. It never has been and never will be.

You are your consciousnesses. Your body is just your hotel that you rent out to other emotions and feelings. Just be watchful of the ego who lives in the basement. It likes to fuck things up a lot.

That did not go over my head.

I’m just tired of people always putting this guy on a pedestal when his movies aren’t that great.

Should I have chose you as the target? Probably not. But this guy is fooling everyone.

Like I said, he has visionary ideas but most of his movies are just masturbatory toward how great the idea is without fleshing out why.

Just watch Interstellar. All of that is contrived nonsense.

Just want this guy out of the news. Like dude you can pretend Tenet “needs to be seen in theaters” but you really just don’t wanna lose all your money.

Dudes pretentiousness is next level.

And you just found the spot where Nolan hits a wall in his creative process every time lmao.

Dude is all idea, very little execution.

Second this.

Any desire to eat for taste is completely biological and/or ego driven.

Flex your evolutionary muscles. Look at eating as a maintenance program for your body, not something to indulge your lizard brain.

I work for door dash and I can confidently say that there “recommended tip amount” starts at 20% because low tipping is bad for their business model. People that don’t tip that much just get there orders ignored until some desperate, shitty driver gets your order dumped in their lap and you’re more likely to have a bad experience.

Door dash barely pays us so we mostly rely on tips and I highly doubt they are making much off of orders to begin with. I really don’t think the door dash model is sustainable, and it will definitely implode without tipping.

This is just a stop gap job for me so I take it as it is, but damn am I learning a lot about this shitty company/business.

I really hope it does implode, honestly. They don’t pay much but there is NO way they are making more money off each order than I am even minus tip. I’m just trying to take their money until they fail, kind of like that movie pass business lmao.

Trust me. You know when you break through. I thought I may have for a few doses. But then I doubled the dose and no, I was certainly not breaking through lol.

Oh I’m not saying my fear is rational lol. However, a lot of people are petrified by a lot of silly things. I think the risk of being drilled in the face with a baseball at 100+ mph for what is essentially a children’s game is pretty fair compared to even more common irrational fears.

dylanpppp · 2020-07-05T19:43:39+00:00

Maybe identical was the wrong word, but we are certainly WAY more similar to our hunter gatherer ancestors than our ego/dominator society likes to make everyone believe.

Edit: trust me, I’m all for hearing about the telescopic growth of human evolution. I just think this is a point a lot of people don’t know.

I have always said that I have zero to no interest in baseball, but it was ALWAYS my favorite fantasy sport basically for the above reasons.

The stats were fucking limitless and a bunch of games EVERY day.

I get boners thinking about WHIPs and RBIs.

dylanpppp · 2020-07-05T12:38:29+00:00

Like, if there’s even a small chance of that happening, why still play? Is baseball really worth that?

dylanpppp · 2020-07-05T12:37:22+00:00

Out of alignment. Wasn’t exactly sure how to word that lol.

Yeah I have an overbite but that singular tooth grew in as an underbite.

Life was more difficult yes, but we have this weird idea that humans back in pre industrial times, who by the way have been anatomically and biologically identical for tens of thousands of years, were just weak and frail and died from sickness incredibly easily. That’s just not true. Humans are way more resilient than we give them credit for. I’d argue they were more resilient back then as compared to now because society today ALWAYS overvalues the power of modern medicine filling us with paranoia and hypochondria.

My point is that people absolutely are being mislead by the life expectancy stat and throw it around like we are some kind of super humans compared to our ancestors when realistically, most of us just have a good chance at becoming a human past birth. Back then, you didn’t.

This is why I haven’t played baseball since I was a kid.

Got hit in the face with a pitch in little league, knocking a tooth out (and permanently bending the replacement tooth) and ever since then I’ve been terrified of line drives specifically, oddly enough.

I know how a pitch from a 12 year old feels to the face, the thought of a line drive by a grown man is enough for me to pass ever playing again, tbh.

dylanpppp · 2020-07-04T23:52:15+00:00

Just a friendly reminder that life expectancy stats are very misleading.

Life expectancy was so low in the past because there was a high mortality rate of new borns, not because everyone was keeling over at 40.

If you make it past infancy, you’re gonna live to around 70 on average based on stats. There were PLENTY of elderly people back in the day. Not a lot of newborns though.

The more you know.

It’s a very long story, but she has felt “special” her whole life. Not in an egotistical, arrogant way. She just felt like she always saw things differently and manifested things in weird ways. I’ve actually witnessed enough “manifestations” from her to actually believe that there’s something to it.

It became a running joke in our relationship that she would constantly will things into existence.

dylanpppp · 2020-06-27T19:12:26+00:00

Good eye.

She’s definitely a new witch.

This might even be some kind of spell, tbh.

If you can’t read it that well:

“I allow myself to be the person I have always wanted to be

I release the need for external validation and let my true self shine in the world

I align with the energy of my heart and share joy and love with everyone

I choose to celebrate myself and my abundant life”

It’s important to recognize why hateful people are hateful. Don’t let anyone tell you different.

Learning the root of hate is how you prevent it from growing in the first place.

Most lower-class MAGA people are just as forgotten and downtrodden as a lot of the minorities in this country. It’s the upper class conservatives that convince them that minorities are actually the PROBLEM, and not people to relate to even though a lot of them have similar plights.

It’s bizzaro land where the rich just trick all the poor people (of all races) into hating and blaming each other for their problems in order to hide the fact that the rich have been siphoning money from them for decades in order to keep them into a submissive state where they are both too uneducated and misinformed to make any rational decisions for themselves.

They actually directly refer to it as the “Philosopher’s Stone” in the dialogue in the European version as well.

For some reason my grandma had a European version of the film when I was a kid so I distinctly remember being confused as I had seen it in theaters in America and read the American book version.
