#MidnightMass on #Netflix depicts the corruption of a small town’s #faith, from lukewarm #Catholicism to #fanaticism. With the exception of its use of literal plagues and monsters, this series represents #Christian #radicalization frighteningly well. Writer and director Mike Flanagan’s commentary on the utility of #religious faith echoes what many former #believers, like myself, have learned in our experiences with religious radicalization.

I read #today that traditional and ancient #Taoists believed that people who dreamed regular dreams were imperfect #believers. #Men who had returned themselves to their #natural states would have #dreamless sleep. Although they would have conversations with #deities or immortals. So...
Last night I had a #dream that I went through my son's #backpack and every graded piece of school work had a grade between 20-35.
You be the #judge.

Hello, Universeodon! I've moved from the .party instance.
On Twitter I was known as NooYawk Atheist@reasonandlogic.
I'm interested in discussions with #theists and other #believers in the #supernatural about how they reach #belief and if they are using an unreliable method like #faith.

The Very, Very Large Conspiracy
https://new.exchristian.net/2023/01/the-very-very-large-conspiracy.html
You can't reason with #believers who are convinced absolute #evil beings exist, and point out there is no absolute good and evil; the evidence shows evil actions are committed by humans alone, many of them only too likely to place the responsibility for their actions on invisible #demonic scapegoats.
@pmj
#Atheists accept you cannot prove the non-existence of anything. If you state something exists, you have to provide proof. IMO this is the crucial difference which cannot be settled easily.
#Believers are not good or bad because of their faith. Each individual is good or bad based on its actions compared to moral contexts.
The problem I have with religion is not the religion itself it’s the humans who claim interpretational sovereignty. This makes me an #antitheist mostly.

Little children (believers, dear ones), let us not love [merely in theory] with word or with tongue [giving lip service to compassion], but in action and in truth [in practice and in sincerity, because practical acts of love are more than words].

The worst believers are the ones who think people should be willing to die for their beliefs.
