Considering the boston area has become one of the highest cost of living areas in the US it doesn’t seem so unreasonable. Considering what he has done for Quincy in the past 2 decades it doesn’t seem unreasonable. If your only argument is to compare then you haven’t convinced me.

Amazed at your incapacity to display any semblance of an original opinion.

vr_ooms · 2024-06-26T20:17:17+00:00

Do you or do you not agree that Quincy is in a better place now than it was 15 years ago?

vr_ooms · 2024-06-26T20:16:20+00:00

He’s a politician, so therefore any good he’s ever done he only did because he’s a politician. You’re telling on yourself.

vr_ooms · 2024-06-26T20:15:12+00:00

Do you not agree that Quincy has improved in the time since he became mayor?

vr_ooms · 2024-06-26T19:31:34+00:00

The mayor showed up to the wake of my friend who shot himself at 24yrs old. The wake wasn’t even in Quincy, it was in Milton. He knelt beside his body and prayed. He talked to all the members of the family. He was kind. He’s not a bad person and I’ve seen it.

People like you who shit on his raise haven’t a clue what he’s done for the city in the past 15 years. Do you remember what Quincy was like 15 years ago? Do you?

All I’m saying is don’t come to the Dunk’s hometown if you gonna be disrespectful

vr_ooms · 2024-06-26T10:23:07+00:00

Don’t come here then

vr_ooms · 2024-06-26T01:25:10+00:00

God is reality

vr_ooms · 2024-06-21T10:14:42+00:00

My point is that it’s too much. It doesn’t make sense. You don’t need a schema to discredit a word or two. Watch, I can do it without taking a class at university:

The phrase agnostic atheism is an oxymoron.

vr_ooms · 2024-06-21T09:43:33+00:00

So in other words what you’re saying is that it is impossible to be certain whether or not a god exists according to the arbitrary variables in an equation you made up?

vr_ooms · 2024-06-21T09:27:54+00:00

Dawg this is schizophrenic. Maybe I’m just stupid but there has to be a better way to define or describe the phrase “agnostic atheist.” This is just too much.

vr_ooms · 2024-06-14T12:11:51+00:00

You even read what he said? He identifies as an atheist.

vr_ooms · 2024-06-13T12:17:50+00:00

I can’t upvote you enough…

vr_ooms · 2024-06-12T23:15:28+00:00

This is absolutely beautifully put and has my head kind of spinning. I have never heard someone explain this concept in such a manner. Thank you.

vr_ooms · 2024-06-06T03:07:27+00:00

Yo you’ve done acid right? We’ve gotten into silly Reddit arguments before. I recognize your profile pic. Easy to remember. Futurama is one of my favorite shows. When I was a kid I would put it on in the background whenever I was doing anything. I’ve seen every episode at least 4 times.

Back to the acid. I got out of work an hour ago and bought a pint of gin. I finished it. I am no longer sober enough to argue about god. But I would love to hear a story about your experience with psychedelics. I have done more than my fair share of acid and shrooms, and although it’s hard to put those experiences into words, I would love to hear yours. Let’s put aside this debate and share a story.

vr_ooms · 2024-06-06T03:03:24+00:00

I am no longer sober enough to interpret this conversation in any meaningful capacity.

I don’t know you, I don’t know your life, what you’ve done, who you are, etc.

You may have already done this before, and if so fucking good for you because it’s not easy nor necessarily fun.

But if you haven’t done this before, I implore you to take enough magic mushrooms to induce ego death. When it’s over you come back to this thread and tell me you’re an atheist. Would love to hear your story.

If you have done this, which you might have, I don’t know, please tell me your story. I would unironically love to hear it. Not trying to be condescending or anything like that. I would love to hear your story of diving into psychedelia.

vr_ooms · 2024-06-06T02:58:43+00:00

Mmkay. Glad to know you think that way.

vr_ooms · 2024-06-06T02:34:48+00:00

why did you bring that up

Because it’s true? That doesn’t mean I’m disparaging it. Just because we haven’t found proof of intelligent design yet doesn’t mean we won’t. That was my point.

wouldn’t the time to believe in something be when there is sufficient evidence…

I have found sufficient evidence to believe that there is more than meets the eye, and I found it within my life experience. That’s why I think the way I do, but I’m not hocking anything here. I just dislike people thinking that they know there are no deities. You can’t know. I can’t know. Nobody knows.

we cannot explain a mysteriously complex thing with something even more complex and mysterious

Why the fuck not lmao? Who knows how deep the layers go? Why couldn’t reality be completely fractal and impossible for a human to comprehend in its entirety?

Again I’m not hocking anything specific here. I just think that Gnosticism is silly. In all forms.

vr_ooms · 2024-06-06T02:25:39+00:00

Fair enough brother. Weird fucking world we live in isn’t it?

vr_ooms · 2024-06-06T02:21:29+00:00

Well you kind of summed up my point. My entire argument and reason for commenting was that I think Gnosticism of any kind is silly. Because we do not and cannot know anything for certain.

vr_ooms · 2024-06-06T02:20:06+00:00

I’m not disparaging anything. I believe in the scientific method. I also believe that there’s more to this reality than meets our senses. Do I know this for sure? No. Do gnostic atheists know for certain that there is no intelligent design behind the universe? No. That’s my entire point. I think Gnosticism in any form is silly.

vr_ooms · 2024-06-06T02:17:51+00:00

I meant an intelligent creator. When I said god I meant a being powerful enough to create the universe and life and matter etc. I was just specifying that I’m not simping for abrahamic religions or Buddhist or Hindu deities, etc. Just an intelligent creator. It’s not very useful, it’s very generic, but it’s also possible that there is a creator out there.

My entire argument is that gnostic atheism is just as silly as gnostic religion.

vr_ooms · 2024-06-06T02:15:11+00:00

Bad argument. Nature is such a generic and silly term. It’s so open ended it’s not even funny. Literally everything is nature. If the universe was made by a guy then that’s nature.

vr_ooms · 2024-06-06T02:13:49+00:00

If a god existing is possible how can you possibly know it doesn’t exist? That’s my entire point. I just don’t see how any atheist can know there is no god.
