This.

This is what life was like in the 90's, before the Internet and Atheism became the normie thing.
I started going to church every Sunday for a few months now.
It has become a very rewarding experience and gives me a sense of purpose. I no longer feel as depressed as I once did.
>>68855133
Good for you anon.
>>68855133
That's because you have routine. You can go to the park every Sunday and achieve a similar effect.
>>68854990
Most places in the 90s
>>68855133
Going out and interacting with other people will do that.
Anywhere that grants a sense of community will give you this sense of purpose.
Just join the local BDSM community, that way at least you can have a good time while you're interacting with others.

1990s was a pretty wholesome era. The Jews didn't really start their cultural attack until the early 2000s so everybody was pretty wholesome.
>>68855181
>You can go to the park every Sunday and achieve a similar effect.
Ehhh, not really. There's part where you shake a qt girl's hand.
>>68854954
its called having something settled in your life
someting that prevents you from dropping
maybe it caqn help you too
>>68854954
>everybody in town treats him like he just fucked Maggie on his front lawn
He might as well have, only Mudslims don't go to church.
>>68854954
>he just fucked Maggie on his front lawn
Off to rule34 I go...
>>68855133
But Church is for losers anon. You should be a cool edgy atheist like everyone else!
>>68854954
>he just fucked Maggie on his front lawn
That scene was way too much for me. And I thought I seen it all on Jimmy Neutron.
>>68854954
classic simsons stream at (first letter of the alphabet)KNKHSTREAM
then click on BAIT channel cus others are crap
>>68856769
Atheism isn't edgy anon, it's just the default.
>>68857182
oops. (a)NKHSTREAM it is

Anyone else gonna send their kids to catholic schools?
I used to shit on my cousins for it but fuck sending mine to some sick transsexual liberal infested hellhole
normal schools wont even do a christmas play anymore because "muh muslims"
>>68855133
bet u dont even go to a preconciliar church pleb
>>68857790
Nah, Catholic schoolkids are super repressed. Sure, they're fine until they're 18, but then it's all downhill from there. Let em vent slowly for 18 years, they'll be fine on the other side.
>>68854954
I don't go to church because I don't believe in God and if there really is a God, it's an all-knowing omnipotent entity that can see past me "faking" going to church just to get into heaven anyways so what's the point? Am I going to trick God into thinking I believe by going to church?
>>68857923
Also what kind of God would need a star ship?
>>68857318
default is 'i believe in god but don't go to church'.
>>68857923
I'm holding out to the end: I'll just do cool shit my whole life, and when I'm about to die just "I'M SORRY GOD FORGIVE ME JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL"
>>68857318
Nope. Agnosticism is default.
>>68855133
I go every week because I really enjoy the music.
>>68855133
I occasionally go to my local buddhist temple
though that's to buy weed or shrooms off of the hippies that go there
>>68857318
>>68858049
The fact that there is any form of intelligence in the universe disproves Atheism
There are patterns everywhere, I think its a form of intelligence we couldn't possibly comprehend but its no means a god
Also particles change behaviour when being observed which is fucking creepy, there has to be some consciousness out there
>>68857790
Be sure to have multiple kids though. I've noticed that many post Catholic school Athiests are usually single kids.
Multiple kids reinforces the traditional aspect of it. The older siblings keep them in line when you're not around. Just don't overdo it.
>>68854954
I think it's something that only americans understand
I always thought pretty much all of 4 Chan is atheist or doesn't give a shit about religion but only the real spurgs
Go on and on about atheism and judging other's and they would get shunned the tips fedora jpg. But realizing more and more there's quite a bit of religious fags here and use tips fedora meme to damage control people who make clear judgments.
> why can't we just leave our beliefs to ourselves so either person doesn't spurg on the other
>>68857790
no because catholic school made me hate catholicism, sunday school is more than enough if done properly
>>68857182
>>68857457
I suppose a small town church with a familiar and largely consistent attendance will notice if someone is not present
>>68858233
/pol/tards treat religion as an extension of their political beliefs, that's why you get more christian posts
>>68858192
Careful not to fall for it

Sure
>>68858049
Agnosticism and atheism aren't mutually exclusive

Please fucking explain this autism
>>68858233
>> why can't we just leave our beliefs to ourselves so either person doesn't spurg on the other
to be honest internet atheists started it
I go to church every week.
People still do it.
>>68858326
That's just fucking sick, why can't ANY person in the fucking world just keep their beliefs to themselves and leave them out of every discussion there in to avoid being offended or looking like a massive retard
>Who the fuck actually goes to church every week, let alone the entire population of a town
This episode hasn't aged well. Americans are a lot less religious since the age of Obama
>>68858511
I don't know man sharing is fine so long as you want to keep it civil imo, I love talking to people with different religious backgrounds, it's always very interesting
>>68856769
fuck off neckbeard
>>68858511
Like the SJWs they abhor, they too are victimization fetishists who deliberately seek out offense so they can circlejerk about it with their in-group.
>>68857318
The default is "I'm very spiritual, but I don't believe in organized religion."
Basically what people mean when they say that is "I believe that there's a god or some form of higher power, but I don't really want to learn about it or know anything about it because that sounds like a lot of work and I'd rather stay home and argue with retarded mongoloids on a vietnamese ice-skating board and then masturbate until I fall asleep."

when necessary, springfield is a small town where everyone knows everyone.
when necessary, its big enough to have an old jewish quarter and its own famous movie stars and celebrities in town.
just like when necessary its next to a desert, or next to the sea, or theres a big mountain in front of the simpsons house that appears and siappears.
does anyone have that picture of springfield with allthe named locations in it?
>>68855183
Nope, only in America
>>68854954
Fun fact: Americans are actually yellow.
>>68858679
Wasn't it near the intersection of like 5 states once as well?
>>68858233
The creation of the fedora meme was in response to fanatics that became more and more annoying when left in a fully accepting environment. It came into existence in order to dissuade idiots who would hijack normal conversations and try to drag it into a religious argument.
Yes there are religious people here, but to declare that it is inherently religious damage control is a narrow assumption.
>>68858679
I like how the diagonal road is always a constant
>>68858717
Don't forgot West Springfield, which is three times the size of Texas.
>>68858679
Actually it fits the description of Oregon pretty nicely. Someone made a video about it on Youtube and since I don't know any better I'm going to say it's the unadulterated truth. The Simpson's Springfield is in Oregon.
Furthermore anyone trying to refute this statement will simply be spammed with this video over and over again because I can't actually make an argument on my own since I couldn't even refute the initial video and was instead completely convinced by it because I never bothered to dissect the fictional city of Springfield to begin with.
So there, case settled, Springfield is in Oregon and nothing you can ever do or say or show will ever, EVER, prove otherwise.
The Simpson's Springfield is in Oregon.
>>68858828
but they said northern kentucky once in the show.
then changed it i think
>>68858717
>>68858792
>>68858880
You have to ignore the nonsense put in specifically for laughs. If you arbitrarily ignore these things I label nonsense then it's patently obvious that Springfield is in Oregon and no reasonable person would ever disagree.
>>68858646
basically this
the US is 80% Christian and Congress has 510 Christians compared to 20 Jews and 5 "other", the whole Christian persecution complex is just a grade-A victim complex to cover their inadequacies (and troll online)
>>68858828
>>68858901
I like you
>>68858416
Well we are essentially the universe questioning itself
how can something with no intelligent capacity make humans who are intelligent
most atheists are actually agnostic
>>68858965
i dont. i want to fight him.
>>68858880
Also, like I promised:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3FtIuVNY8k
There you go, facts and more facts proving Springfield is in Oregon and you cannot possibly refute it. Process of elimination, dissection of show, etc. I'm right and know everything.
>>68858926
I always wonder how many people in government are actually religious, and how many simply say that they are for votes.
It really shouldn't matter, but of course it sadly does
>>68858972
>how can something with no intelligent capacity make humans who are intelligent
Okay, let's turn that question on its head. What made the thing with intelligent capacity? It had to be intelligent, since you just said that nothing intelligent could be made from a non-intelligent source.
You see the problem here? It's turtles all the way down
>>68858647
No it isn't retard. Throw a kid into the woods with no family and he isn't going to start praying to gods. Know why? Its from social bonds and family father figures/ leaders that the concept of an all-powerful mommy and daddy exists.
>>68858434
Not really, the typical fedora response is God doesn't exist, and that is predicated on a kippa tippa saying God does exist, or you'll burn in he'll, or some such
>>68857790
depends on how catholic the school is. If its just as hardcore as any of the liberal ones in their teachings then no. But pne that has moderate teaching or at least wont take any of this libtard sjw bullshit then hell yes
>>68855061
If you don't remember day to day life in the 90s its tough to understand how much culture shifted after the internet.
only a handful of famous people identified as atheist
under 10% of the population identified as non-religious, and in rural states this could be under 5%.
>>68859086
Assuming GODJesus is immortal, we can postulate that it needed not creating.
>>68857790
Catholic schools are garbage. Catholics in general are sub-humans. Protestants are the only true Christians on this tainted. Repent sinner.
>>68859121
He probably would actually, though they'd probably be nature Gods, and he'd be praying and believing because of a lack of education, critical thinking and knowledgejust like most religious people :^)
>>68859121
It's not so easy, there are many theories about it, one of them revolves around the idea that God took the place of the alpha male we had when we were basically monkeys, and I'm sure i've read at least a dozen more. In the end you have to find the one that fits you the best if you can't find a theory good enough to prove itself. So yeah the kid would probably start to pray since it's kinda hardwired in our brain
>>68859203
True, a lot of people tend to forget that Catholics are the most liberal Christians.

>>68859298

>>68858588
>>68858511
Well, if it interests you: It's because the attack on religion is one of the tenants of the Social Marxism school of thought.
It classifies Christianity as a Bourgeoise construct, much like the male gender is for Feminists and White skin is to Black Activists. It's the reason that the jokes about Catholic pederasty will never let up no matter how much ass Pope Francis kisses or how little it was compared to other religious institutions.
You don't have to believe it, just understand the motivation behind the behavior.
>>68859348
I believe you're a bit of a cunt.
>>68859201
assuming Jesus is immortal and timeless, his sacrifice is meaningless and the entire New Testament amounts to nothing

anyway that monkey thing I told you was a theory in the 50's or something, chances are it's been disproved but it's good food for thought anyway
Protestants
I've been alternating between the Orthodox and Latin Mass Catholic Churches in my area for a while now. They're both fine liturgically, but I'm torn on which is the true Apostolic church historically. I feel bad switching between them every week, but I can't make up my mind.
>>68859696
neither is

>>68860059
No, if you can't indoctrinate people with religion while they're young, then you've basically lost them, and theism will decline. And that's what happening right now.
>>68860142
That's because Catholic schools are full of trashy Italians.

Once those atheists get past their 20s and realise there really is no point to their lives they'll try to fill that God-shaped hole in some way. I'd wager a good portion of raised atheists later identify as spiritual in some way.

You sound like you're using religion to cope with the fact that you can't find your own meaning in life and are too scared to accept that you'll eventually die.

People who return to religion isn't the same as people who were raised without one magically deciding to become religious as adults.
Is this really the level of intelligence you operate on?
Semi unrelated, why isn't homosexuality considered a genetic defect? Seeing as it stops our species from reproducing
>>68861277
>Semi unrelated, why isn't homosexuality considered a genetic defect?
Because contrary to common thought, you are not 'born' gay
There's an element of nurture involved alongside the nature
In case some tumbltard tries to challenge me on this, there have been several cases of identical twins where only one is gay

>>68862196
>mfw Americlaps play music at the church
>>68861423
just because one identical twin is gay and the other one isn't doesn't mean the difference comes from nurture. Popular theories regarding homosexuality speculate in how early doses of testosterone in featuses can determine sexuality
