To be That Guy, people who celebrate Star Wars don't actually think it happened.
I celebrate Easter, but I don't think Jesus was resurrected.
Irrelevant distinction.
The original fan base are mostly repulsed by poor writing that focuses on pushing the preachy pro-aggressive race and gender agenda of woke Disney Star Wars 7,8,9. and are done with the franchise, especially after the left attacked Gina Carano .
If you can edit the cartoon to be a Disney Star Wars fan, then it would be perfect.
Heh.
I mean, we all watched the prequels in horror wondering how the hell could George actually create something so fucking horrible. We eventually realized that George is only good at ideas and broad thematic strokes, the success of the originals was 100% of the production teams he had on those projects.
We all actually thought it couldn't get any worse.
And then they hired women. Hoooo boy.
I fukkking hate fake and gay sci fi shit. Gayming is lame too.
What do for do for fun?
1 go outside 2 go to the gym 3 learn something 4 read a book 5 practice a hobby 6 build something - however useless 7 spend time with family 8 spend time with friends
what is this word "friend" you speak of? its a mythical creature right?
What is the last thing that you built, and be honest?
read a book
Presumably non-fiction only, amirite?
As a small business owner I work a lot. My days off are spent outdoors on my large lot, either doing yard work, shooting, or some kind of project. I have chickens, and they’re fun too.
Jealous. I live in a city apartment, I wish I had the money to do what you do.
Also I live in Canada, and there is a lot less freedom to have that kind of life over here, especially right now.
People think they are smarter than God
Maybe they are. The problem as I see it is they think they’re smarter than everyone who came before them. We live in possibly the easiest period to live in human history, yet so many view our ancestors who survived unimaginable strife and struggle as simpleton morons. Whatever about God, most of religion is the passed on wisdom of those who preceded us. I think we have a lot more to learn from them than our descendants will have to learn from us.
Well in all seriousness, there's a couple of corners I could've cut out of human suffering that your God didn't, so there's that...
You are a fucking retard.
This is a really shit meme.
There aren't many atheists who do not celebrate Easter, I know a lot of atheists, and not many who don't at the very least get Easter Eggs, or bunny decorations, or have a dinner with their families over it, and there are few atheists who do anything to celebrate May 4th beyond recognizing the pun in the similarity it has to a part of the iconic quotation from a very well-known movie production, most atheists put more effort into celebrating Easter than they do May 4th. If the point of the meme is that atheists celebrate one and not the other, that's totally false, they celebrate both, and the one they do more to celebrate is the one the meme claims they do not celebrate at all.
It's almost as if the maker of this meme never met a non-Christian before.
It also memory holes most of Christian history and their attitudes towards festivities like Easter.
I mean, sure, atheists don't go to church on Easter, they likely don't go to church at all, but they do observe the date in their own way, it's not just another day for them, and technically, they are celebrating Easter the way that Christians were supposed to, Remember Easter and Christmas were for a long period forbidden for Christians to celebrate, as they were both considered pagan festivals, and not the occasions recognized by the Bible, it's basically idolatry and heresy to celebrate them. What Christians should be celebrating are Bible-approved occasions like passover, which is widely associated with Judaism instead, going to church on Sunday was always alright for Christianity, but doing to it celebrate Easter was not.
Second, the meme here is straight up declaring that Christianity is a fairy tale, like Star Wars, and that it is pathetic to celebrate any occasion that is associated with a fairy tale, making the conclusion that while both are pathetic, one is more pathetic, and that's the celebration of May the 4th.
Except that both are pathetic for different reasons, the Star Wars celebrants may be celebrating a more modern piece of mythology, one that is mass-marketed to midwits and absolutely slathered with mindless consumerism, but at the very least they openly acknowledge that Star Wars is fiction.
While there are Christians who actually believe that the Bible is true (to varying extents), and to say that the Bible wasn't given the same treatment as Star Wars is to willingly ignore much of history, the Bible being used to distract and direct midwits and being slathered in mindless consumerism is not a new phenomenon - Even from the inception of the universal church that almost all other Christian churches derive themselves from, people used to straight up pay money to the catholic church in order to buy their way into Heaven, and most denominations of Christianity that came after were derived from Catholicism, which was the universal church after the council of Nicea, which is why most of them are just variations on the theme that was set by the Catholics, mainly "Catholicism, but with the following differences...".
Both are a part of the mythologies that did much to shape our culture, and both are by this point quite old (need I remind you how long ago WAS the 80's?).
The meme also makes a mistake, if celebrating a fairy tale is pathetic, and both are fairy tales, and one is more pathetic than the other, then why not come to the conclusion that instead of celebrating the less pathetic fairy tale, to instead reject both? the whole meme relies upon a false dichotomy, when the other option is right before anyone who reads this meme.
That's the problem with this "calling out hypocrisy" strategy of attacking some part of the population, saying "they do worse version of what we do" is just inviting people to say "well, then let's try doing neither", a lesser evil is still an evil.
This is a low-IQ meme, I'm an atheist, and I've never done anything to commemorate May 4th in my life, but I've been doing things for Easter every year I can remember, I've probably done something for Easter every year of my life.
The whole premise of atheism is the ‘I won’t be duped, I have it all figured out.’ Which is just a failure of your ego. The only truth that is empirical and absolute in this conservation is that neither of us know. It’s beyond our inherent limits as human beings to know. Hence, I tend to lean more towards agonistic than Christian anyway. I don’t disagree with some of the things you said, and I certainly didn’t make this meme nor do I think it even makes a very good point! Lol but thanks for the thoughtful response
My position is that I don't know, and that by the evidence I've seen and the arguments I've encountered, I have no reason to believe that the Christian God exists, and the same goes for all the supernatural claims of the Bible, I also have some reason to assume that these claims, such as God, the Soul, and the Afterlife, are not possible (for all three of them, the belief that the mind and senses could exist without a physical component is a serious obstacle that needs explaining away, even if you reject the soul/afterlife and accept bodily resurrection, the problem remains as God is still in the picture, all it does is adds on the problem of how bodies decompose and their constituent atoms are used for the construction of other lifeforms, including those which "count" such as future human beings), but that is subject to change.
As such I am in agreement with you, there is no reason for the term of agnosticism to exist, it's origins are jewish, and comes from a jew whose influence I particularly despise, and what it describes is the position that was held by the majority of atheists throughout history, when someone calls themselves "atheist" chances are that this "agnosticism" is what they are talking about with regards to their position on religious claims, those who outright deny even the possibility of religious claims are not very common in my experience.
If you worship a jew god you get ruled by jews.
Ackthually, star wars fans are more likely to be theistic whereas you're looking more for trekkies and their MultiKULT Utopias.
To be fair, those "religious" holidays are all about consoom for the vast majority in the West now.
Consoom product a vs consoom product b is a psyop.
Worship jew gods, win jew prizes.
This kills the jew.
If you're reading the bible, Young's Literal Translation is pretty legit. You can find it here:
If you don't know what you're looking at, Old Testament is before Jesus, and Jesus takes from the jewish "law" in the Old Testament. The New Testament writers, Mathew, Mark, Luke and John are writing roughly the same story but from different perspectives. I think you can throw Romans into the trash, but that's just me. I personally only interested in the five writers and Revelation (also written by John).
There are a lot of interesting posts on there.
Did you know pidgeons are supestitious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uPmeWiFTIw
Is everyone here missing the idea that religious thinking is just something akin to pidgeon superstition?
Humans have only lived in an era of plenty and an era of infinite access to information for about 100 years, if that. Before that, not only did we not really know how anything in the world worked he had no real way to predict much about the future so, like pidgeons, our pattern recognition systems kick into high gear looking for clues trying to make predictions. At low orders of network effect, this generates loosely coupled myths, at slightly higher order network effect those myths get embedded into tribal norms and enforced and at high enough orders of network effect can generating entire religious networks like xtianity and islam and end up in cul de sacs like the Georgtown massacre.
But, underneath it all, we are religious machines. If it isn't christianity or norse mythology our people will onboard anything that engages the nural circuitry that is designed for that kind of pattern recognition.
Jordan Peterson made the connection that our modern mythology is embedded within the movies and similar media. His point was that the superhero movie was something to what the greeks thought about their pantheon of gods.
Which is why it is important for us to remove jews and non whites from our land. Not only do we need to re-capture our civilizations through the recapture of our own mythologies, we must remove the parasites because all parasitic invaders instinctively understand how to seek the control points of their host.
The conversation you guys are having is probably far more important than it seems on the surface. That meme is far deeper than maybe we want to admit.
I saw Star Wars the first week showing and found it a cool movie. Then I heard a few months later people watched it over a hundred times and thought that's kind of weird. Then I found out over a decade later people were spending tons of cash on Star Wars stuff and thought that's just crazy.
It's a fucking movie, watch it once, maybe twice with a friend or just to get more from it. After that it's going into crazy obsessive territory and you need to check your shit.
