We spend our days bound by endless obligations. Yet, even with loneliness, failed relationships, and soul-draining work, people still manage to catch a glimpse of happiness. Why?

    What a load of rubbish from someone who has read almost nothing about religion and is confused.

    “Also no one’s life holds any intrinsic value at all.” So why do you care if someone is “weak” or follows a cult?

    “If that’s not the weakest form someone could assume, then I have no idea what “weak” even is.” You have no idea of anything. Most likely, you had a traumatic childhood growing up in a religious household and have suicidal thoughts every now and then. For at then end of the day, in your “reality” you are the same as a lump of dog excrement.

      Why I slightly care? Because life is more beautiful than devoting it to some deity that gives a rat’s ass about you. And I sometimes am delusional enough to think that cultists can escape. They rarely do because it’s so hard, but the chance is never zero.

      And lol, no. I grew up I an environment grounded in reality. There never was any religion. And suicide? Hell no, my life is fantastic. I don’t work, I travel, I live every hobby that fills me with joy, I have a wonderful wife and no kids nor pets. I wouldn’t change a thing and most definitely not suicide lol.

      I just despise religion/cults as it’s just a great thing to control the sheep and/or make money. and the concept itself is totally outdated. “God is dead” like Nietzsche said.
