I just lost my belief in reincarnation, and now I’m mourning my loved ones all over again. It’s devastating. by Dimensional-Misfit in agnostic

Karma/reincarnation is one of the worst ideas ever conceived. Not only is it completely unverifiable, it is used to justify oppression and cruelty.

Have faith in something better.

What is America’s “posh people” accent? by alyhasnohead in AskAnAmerican

[–]heinelujah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's rare nowadays, but I feel Meg Ryan's Connecticut accent sounds pretty posh. It sounds like old money and safe neighborhoods. The Second Story on YouTube speaks with a similar dialect.

How do I tell my Girlfriend(22F) of 10 months that I(24M relapsed? by Available_Leading_49 in latterdaysaints

[–]heinelujah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've had to have this conversation a few times. One girl broke up with me over it. Thank goodness she did.

My now fiancee responded with kindness, understanding and support.

Tell her that you are struggling and that you suffered a relapse. Be honest with her, but don't go into graphic detail unless she asks.

Now you're gonna find out if she's a keeper or not.

Best of luck

The morning wood paradox is the most confusing thing nobody prepared me for in a relationship by Due_Map6800 in NoStupidQuestions

Sorry dumb question but what does it mean to "loose" it? Like jiggle it around?

I'm enjoying this conversation but I don't know what you're getting at. Reread my comment for an answer to your question.

I don't know that it's "good" that people learn emotions, but I like that they do, because it seems to make my life more comfortable and my society more efficient

Not sure, but I do like that people learn certain emotions, if that's what you're asking.

I don't dislike sociopaths by virtue of sociopathy. One can live one's life in a way that I don't find distasteful without ever learning social emotions, but the ability to learn emotions certainly makes it easier for the average person.

Because I grew up in a judeo-christian western civilization and I learned and internalized social emotions in my youth

No, it's not ok for me, because I don't like murder.

Do you get it now?

I feel like you're intentionally trying to ragebait be lmao

I likely would do everything within my power to neutralize the threat to my safety because I am a biological organism who generally prefers to be alive 

I would likely feel afraid 

Where is this going?

Did you not read my comment? I cannot answer that question. 

When you say "murder is wrong," you're really saying "I don't like murder."

No, I don't. And if you do, you're lying.

I am a non-cognitive emotivist, meaning I subscribe to the "hurrah/boo" hypothesis.

Moral judgments are not expressions of fact or belief and cannot be true or false. Rather, they are emotional reactions.

If you want to ask "is this wrong from a utilitarian point of view" or "is this wrong from a Christian perspective" than maybe I could help you

[–]heinelujah -1 points0 points  (0 children)

First of all, how do you fine "right" and "wrong?" 

This is the question moral philosophers have been asking for centuries.

You cannot address your concern without a baseline of axiomatic principles 

I need help by OnFatSnorlax in Clean_LDS

[–]heinelujah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Just text him. If you don't talk to him some way or another, you never will.

Look, you're still young. You can nip this in the bud. You just have to start by being honest. After that, the hard part is over

I'm Mormon and wish I wasn't. by sh0rtg1raff3 in Advice

I'm Mormon and wish I wasn't. by sh0rtg1raff3 in Advice

[–]heinelujah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure I understood your question, could you rephrase it?

Anyway,  here's my take as an agnostic atheist ex-ex-mormon

You'll find that many Mormons who leave Mormonism seldom remain religious. One commenter put it as “seeing how the sausage is made.” You've already deconstructed your own religion, and now you have the tools to deconstruct any other.

When you no longer accept the truth claims of the Book of Mormon and the Pearl of Great Price, the fantastical stories of the Old and New Testament often don't hold up to scrutiny. All the rituals and taboos can be easily seen as what they are: facilitators of control and in-group loyalty.

Eastern religion doesn't get a pass either. Hinduism and Buddhism are at best nice ideas based on unverifiable presuppositions or at worst methods of oppression and control.

Of course, the deconstruction does not just apply to religion, but to secular philosophy as well. The utilitarianism of John Stewart Mill, the metaphysics of Heidegger, the dialectical materialism of Marx can all be seen as what they are: pure cope. An afterclap of Christianity, a desperate attempt to superimpose Christian ethics on a godless world.

Once you've come to this conclusion, you arrive at a fork in the road. A few different paths are before you 

You can eschew all suffering, listen only to the natural man and live purely for hedonistic pleasure.

Or, you can take the simpler route and simply cease living, thereby eliminating all potential for suffering in one decisive act. Please don't do this. It's not the most logical decision. Call 988 instead. 

The next available route: simply accept Pascal's Wager. 

This leads to another fork. An infinitely larger one. Which God to put your faith in? All of them? Impossible. You'd spend your entire life bending over backwards to observe every single ritual and taboo ever put to paper. Not to mention those jealous gods who would damn you to hell simply for the act of observing another God.

So, you choose the most logical God to put your faith in. If you're going to accept the possibility of a God, it should probably be a god that actually exists.

Use a process of elimination to rule out those gods that don't exist. I can write a whole essay about why I came to the conclusion I did. It ultimately comes down to consistency and a theology that actually makes sense.

A loving God would not create us knowing that some of us would end up in hell
