something will replace four dimensional space-time

there is something beyond that, but we simply cannot conceive of it in our soul making childhood minds

in this world you become who you are, in the next world you become what you are

That's been my take against atheists from day one.
Ants can't do algebra.
Cats can't comprehend cars.
So I'm not taking some evolved primates word on the nature of reality and eternity.

Our noodles aren't built for this problem. Pretending we know the answer is oblivion because we can't even really comprehend the question is pretty stupid.

the universe itself is magical by even scientific definition

the Bible is metaphor to me, I think it is much older than that

none the less, the Bible is important, atonement is precious

soul making machines can be destroyed, made into monsters, even unto the next world

and that would be Hell in my reckoning

Agnosticism is the only rational view, IMO. Flip a coin whether ancient shepherds were the last ones to hear from an active God, or if we’re just a pile of self-aware meat.

Doesn’t really matter either way, in the Now.

except for the downfall of Western civilization by the collapse of Judeo-Christian culture back into paganism

when people believe in nothing, they will believe in anything

The weak-minded require a belief system of some kind, no matter what. The fact that our government has utterly failed at basic functionality, and even the scientific consensus has been corrupted leaves all of those below an 80 IQ and non-religious with nothing to cling to. Thus, total chaos.

indeed, the classic fall of the empire is inciting doomsday cults of people who repent for their sins

they publicly self flagellate, and demand that you do so as well

if you don't publicly self flagellate and confess your sins, you are a heretic

but since there is no Christ in their doomsday religion, there is no atonement, forgiveness, mercy

so then it starts going like the Nazis & Bolsheviks, godless, paganistic, Nietzschean

Strange take ... given that al of the lower animals have no form of belief system whatsoever. Only humans have evolved to the point of advancing to systemic beliefs.

And yet, this is what athiests everywhere seem to cling to.
"Belief systems are for the weak minded!!!"

While nihilism is apparently reserved for every class of animal below homo sapiens, down to single celled organisms ... oh, and human geniuses of course.

"I'm not weak minded like you! I share the same philosophy as amoebas!"

lulz

[Smitty-48]

I don't look down on the weak with scorn even if they are weak

I wish I could help these people, but they are so hysterical you can't get through to them

like trying to convince them that Climate Doom is probably a scam, that's like talking to a wall

So we are beyond woke...

It's an exclusive club.

Tricked out yacht for the VIPs.

I think so, at least.

Although - not that exclusive, really.

To channel Marty a little, wokeness itself was already a backlash of the losers against the relentless success of the liberal order. Backlash isn't sustainable, has no real plan, and pisses itself out.

Woke Joe just said one burger a month....... to America.

That shit wont play

He can go suck a rotten egg.

[DBTrek]

No one is listening to woke Joe.
Not congress.
Not Putin.
Not Kamala.
Certainly not us.

He's just that dementia puppet sitting in the chair while the globalist run shit and the left seal-claps over how glorious it is that Trump is gone.

[Smitty-48]

No one is listening to woke Joe.

the power vacuum is the point

the medium is the message

they show who is in charge by showing that the President is not in charge

it's a form of intimidation, shadow government is bearing its fangs
