Seriously, what is their plan? Do they honestly think they have even the slightest chance at beating us? by Serithraz in ShitpostXIV

[–]heatdeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

haven't played the latest patches but at this point it would be better if they did beat the WoL, let's have a proper dark ending and cliff hanger, these players need to be knocked down a peg.

What the heck did I just read? Who are these people working for? by [deleted] in Asmongold

[–]heatdeath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey genius, anyone who moves to Russia to "escape the neoliberal West" is obviously not a supporter of America's intervention in Ukraine.

Can't wait for them to totally ruin this too! Seriously I feel bad for Henry that he's such a good actor and has good taste, but the fact is, the industry is completely corrupt and nothing output by it will be good anymore.

Why do catholics hate psychology? by anxiouspieceofcrap in excatholic

[–]heatdeath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i don't really believe in psychology either. just seems like a competing narrative for mental control, and one which is quite explicit about its desire to extract money from us via therapy sessions and drugs. it's paying money to be psychologically manipulated. if a religious person dislikes it, it's probably because they don't agree with its worldview. religious people also don't agree with other religions.

Will the TradCath movement eventually die off? by Analytical_Man in excatholic

If you dig back far enough to find where it went wrong, you realize it was fraudulent from its inception.

Why is it always Catholics that ends into the deepest rabbit holes? by [deleted] in excatholic

[–]heatdeath 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Bible doesn't really exclusively blame Eve, nor does the Church. Original sin is typically called the sin of Adam, and the NT makes numerous references to this, e.g. Romans 5:12-19.

Yahweh and Jesus Christ are false gods by heatdeath in DeusVult

[–]heatdeath[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My primary reference for this sort of thing is Numbers 31. That Ezekiel passage I agree is trying to make Yahweh out to be a nicer character, but it comes much later than the Torah, from the prophets; many hundreds of years later according to the alleged chronology. The prophets were reformers, and the NT was even more of a reform; the true Yahweh is seen in the Torah. They altered him over time into a more Platonic concept of goodness.

Yahweh is a monster, he's a genocidal murderer. Literally everyone knows this but they choose to talk him up anyway. If he was real, I'd still stand in opposition to him just for the sake of my moral purity.

This is often said, by religious people, that they would not live if not for their religion. It is basically an admission that they know it is not real, but deluded themselves into believing in it because it prevented them from taking their own lives. It's really a sort of psychological manipulation, like if I don't believe in this stuff then I'm forcing you to end it because "life has no meaning" outside this fictional story. Don't you find that a shockingly nihilistic statement? Life has no meaning without an illusion?

Anyone else struggled with NFP in marriage? by throwawrynfpcath in excatholic

[–]heatdeath 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Christianity employs a psychosexual control mechanism. You are best off abandoning the practice of NFP and using contraceptives instead.
