@Yetimon believe nothing. Know or do not know. Believing brings COVID vaccinations, lockdowns and relegating your safety to the State.

@ThatCrazyDude @Yetimon indeed! this shit happened because people use their atheism as another religion. with new priests like fauci, who explain the words of pre-selected holy scriptures - everything else is fake science, blasphemy!
from my POV the real hardcore christians did show more real compassion during this time than any of the self-declared sciencetrusters ™️.
@bonifartius @Yetimon yeah, it's effin' insane. I mean, to see people who generally proud themselves to question everything and never take things on faith, operating on facts instead of dogma and all that stuff going full cultists.... Just embarrassing
@ThatCrazyDude @Yetimon for me, it was outright frightening. was a good filter for who to trust though - unfortunately not many people i know remained xD
@bonifartius @Yetimon anyways, replacing one deity for another is no atheist. It's just conversion. And for whatever reason vast majority of millennials fo call themselves atheists do exactly that. It has nothing to do with reason.
@ThatCrazyDude @Yetimon
i've walked into that trap too in younger years. the scienceism was beaten into us: hard science is supposed to solve every problem! (only the "correct" science done by the "right" people of course..)
luckily my gut proved to be stronger than my wish to belong. i recognized that while i really like good science, it's a tool to solve problems, not a world view. if you abuse the tool it doesn't serve anymore but is a terrible master.
i'd take a religious fundamentalist who consistently treats others well over a "team science" person who has proven to lose every speck of decency during the last years in a heartbeat.
