  • Atheist agnostic I suppose. I grew up catholic tho, got confirmed in high school and everything lol. I hated the idea that “you’re nothing without God” and “you need God in your life” attitude that they use. Like bro that’s literally abusive behavior what are you doing?

    I have a question for you tho. What are your thoughts about humans eventually being able to “measure god”? I’m thinking about radiation, electricity, radio waves. Things that were always there but we just didn’t know what they were. Like if you went near radiation before it was “discovered”, you still got sick, you just didn’t know why.

    But we studied those things and now we understand them better. What if “god” as it’s known, or “spiritual experiences” or whatever, are something we can actually devise a way to measure or study? We just don’t understand it yet.

    I’m curious to hear from an agnostic theist about this specifically lol. Just the idea that we could “measure god” somehow. A thiest would say god can’t be measured and an atheist would say there is no god so it doesn’t matter.

    Dude… idk how I fell into it but there’s an account here on lemmy that goes around commenting shit like “fake news” and “your American state media lies to you and its so easy” on posts calling out what China is doing to Uyghurs. Basically denying any wrongdoing by China. Idk if they’re a bot or state agent or paid actor or what. I wonder if they’ll make an appearance on this post…




  • Well, there might need to be an equal and opposite reaction in order to keep it in check. If some people are just inherently evil and desire power over others, then I imagine there would also be inherently good people and desire to protect others.

    I don’t think you can “prevent” this outright. That’s why there’s talk of “vigilance” and being “watchful” when it comes to government/democracy.
