My life has been a lie

Aw man. Looks like I won’t be able to enjoy them anymore.

Surprised there’s no Mr. Fixit

Or what if they’re black? I’ve read so many stories about sensors not detecting people simply because they have darker skin.

This thread has plenty of anti-religious stances and oversimplified explanations that just mock those that are religious. Despite how exhausting it will be to think about the replies, I feel that some balance is needed for the sake of good content and discussion. I’m terrible at this shit, so take it with a grain of salt. Obligatory “I’m not religious” - I’m not defending those that have twisted religion to be used for personal gain, perversion, or for enacting upon hatred, but to say there’s zero benefit to religion and that it shouldn’t exist is naive; it is, however, in need of improvement.

Religion provides community, philosophy, and despite what everyone in the comments here are saying, education. You can deny a specific diety all you’d like, but it poses potential answers to questions science has yet to figure out. Did a diety create the universe via The Big Bang? When does life begin? What happens after death? What happens before we’re born? Etc.

Church provides support for those struggling. You can argue that praying to a diety may not do anything on its own, but to have a pastor say that someone in the church has been struggling with something and everyone includes that in their prayers - it helps a lot to cope with the passing of someone, addiction, debt, etc. Some churches will do events to help raise money for a cause. Some will pull you aside to help give direction to resolve the struggle in your life. Some host meetings for AA and other similar programs.

Einstein rejected a conflict between science and religion, and held that cosmic religion was necessary for science.

Multiple strong atheists including my college Language Arts teacher throughout my life have said that The Bible is one of the greatest books ever written - not for the diety, but for the teaching of morals, the poetry, the individual pastorals, and the story overall. Is it the only source to learn morality? No. Additionally, any source where you learn morality from will also have immoral characteristics, so don’t let any strawman arguments prevent you from learning from it.

Nothing and no one is perfect, so use your own judgement to discern the morality from the immoral, and question it. For those interested in pro-religioua debate, books on Apologetics can be an interesting read.

I’m sure there’s some sort of logical fallacy to be said about negating the quality of a quote based on the person who said it. Like, if Einstein said it, then it must be smart. If Hitler said it, then it must be evil. Etc.

ITT: No one understands the benefits of renting over owning a home.

Liked “The color is one part, the other is that it breaks functions in iMessage. So the elitism doubles up”

Only n00bs code their programs from scratch. Cool people build their own kernel, OS, compiler, and coding language, and they already have that program built in.

I WANNA ROCK RIGHT NOW

“Someone screwed the pooch” - Someone made a big mistake, same as the “shit the bed” idiom.

Lol np buddy

The white?

Thank you, edited my comment to include this.

How very Ichi the Killer.

Top panel is explaining why Americana are better than Europeans. Bottom panel retorts with saying that they’re on vacation. Europeans get more paid vacation time than Americans.

EDIT: Added “paid” vacation time. Also, someone else mentions that it’s obligated, so they have to take it. I’m not sure about this, so I’m not editing above to include it, but there you go.

It wasn’t intended, just a long term effect of First Past the Post voting systems.

I thought for a second that this meme would have been uploaded in .webp for the lulz, but alas after downloading the image to my phone and then going into the properties, it’s jpg.

I should do this more often. Thanks for the suggestion!
