It's quicker and easier to condemn based on absurd dogmatic imperatives thought up by a bunch of dudes who claimed they'd been given by an omnipotent, omniscient (notions which are themselves naive at best, moronic at worst) entity than, y'know, trying to have an original idea of one's own, and sifting through the mountains of data referring to some topic or conducting field research separately to come up with an arguably informed opinion on something and living with the doubt and uncertainty that the interpretation of finite data through one's limited, subjective experience may, in fact, have generated an erroneous conclusion.

Relying on dogma guarantees you won't need to expend enough mental energy to power a diode.

As time marches on, some things are left behind. Including this post.

We can all express why we think or don't think Christians are bad in a different thread, can't we?
We tried that, and it ended up in a harsh flamewar.

Anyway, there's no such thing as a Christian.

On the topic of religion, I recently recognized myself as an Apatheist, which is just a fancy word for not caring about any matter religious or specifically non-religious.

So there's that.

@Pisskop

You're still not addressing the love argument. It's not all about sex, you know. Is love between two people of the same sex pointless?

On the topic of religion, I recently recognized myself as an Apatheist, which is just a fancy word for not caring about any matter religious or specifically non-religious.

So there's that.

But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Saying "sorry to derail BUT" and then derailing is a sin. So stop. If you actually care, the solution is to make a thread and then direct people over there.

I, meanwhile, derail unapologetically, mostly because I keep coming here to post my sads and then really not wanting to. An argument is far less emotionally demanding.

Ah well to further debate you I'd have to go into systems of value. IMO love is an end, not a means to any further goal, and it has a hell of a lot of value, no matter who the two (or more, I guess) people are or what equipment they have between their legs.

I think I've officially decided that I hate it here. There's nothing to do, it's cold as fuck, I'm sick all the time, I'm tired all the time, my roommate is my roommate, I don't relate to anyone, and I just don't have anything approaching a life.

I am so sick of these base pleasure obsessed, frequently bigoted, noisy, shallow assholes I am around constantly. My roommate may be an exceptional case, but pretty much everyone else around here only seems to care about sex and drugs as well.

These next three and a half years are going to be a trial, I think.

Well, not precisely not giving a shit, but I find myself agreeing with the wiki article on alot of points at the very least:
