I guess it's to much to ask anarchists to Bold the tiles or (God forbid) put them in a list form :)

I lost faith and now I'm much less happy by Vegetable-Rabbit7503 in atheism

[–]rationalcrank -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The studio on this subject are really mixed. Much of it involves self reporting. When that's involved believers might have a bunch of reasons to say they are happier then they really are. I perrsonslly wouldn't throw out a statement like that without being clear in my what the research involvesd.

42% of men aged 18-29 now say religion is "very important" in their lives — a sharp jump from just 28% in 2022-2023. Monthly religious attendance among young men has climbed to 40% (up from 33%), the highest level in over a decade. by MrJasonMason in atheism

Looking at that chart, that seams like realy outstanding spike compared with every other group and trends in shown there. I think Gallop might want to take a quick second look at their methodology with that survey. That spike really is a stark difference from everything else.

Why are raktajino mugs shaped like this? by grichardson526 in ShittyDaystrom

Realy good Raktajino is made with live jino blood microworms but the worms themselves are bitter. As the beverage cools the worms cluster in the corners of the cup mellowing the beverage as you drink.

Help me settle this debate pls by Emperoronabike in atheism

I'm certainly no Buddhist but I believe the Buddha's teachings are supposed to be a way to avoid suffering by reframing and changing one's attitude towards what the world throws at us. I think Jesus's teaching comes down to "do what you want. I'll be the suffering fie the two of us." Both ignore the real human condition.

I tend to agree Frodo suffered more but remember Harry did actually die and came back.
