How many of you were raised religiously, are now agnostic/atheist, but wish you could still believe? What religion were you? What religion would you like to be right?
I was raised Catholic, if I knew it to be true I would follow every rule. The thought of dying and not existing forever terrifies me. It consumes my thoughts on a daily basis lately. I guess I would most like some form of liberal christianity where if you are decent person you go to heaven or buddhism to be correct.
Why is there anything at all? Existence itself, why is it? I wish someone had some sort of explanation with proof I could accept.
I guess not existing would be preferable to eternal torture

>some really good videos describing the very basics of 4 out of the 5 common arguements for the existence of a god. Thes videos however shouldn't be basis of your understnding of them. Each argument has a vast aray of different sections in it. If you were to make a DETAILED video for each argument they would last for hours.

>The image I'm attaching is a debate between two 4chan users on another argument for the existence of a God (unmoved mover argument).This is part 1 of the argument, I'll post the second part in another post. Might be a little hard to read since I had to compress it to fit r9k's 2MB image limit
op I was actually a pretty militant atheist for my whole life but then I decided to actually do some research into the topic of god. I read A LOT of books from both sides of the argument, watch hours upon hours of debates and even did a bit of research into it myself. At the end of the day I concluded that the existence of a "god" is a physical necessity for our universe to exist. If you're open-minded and willing enough to do the research to believe in a god then you'll be really surprised at what you find. I too used to thing the idea of a creator was just a load of horseshit

hey r9k, im a 4/10 guy, but could be a 7/10 girl, so I'm thinking of becoming a trans. additionally, if I pass as a girl there would be no downsides, and sjws would like me. your thoughts?
Bitches love feminine men today. If you're a 4/10 man now, you'll be a 2/10 'woman' after.
Just don't.

Why don't you listen to ASMR, anon?
It won't take up much time, just the time when you're trying to sleep.
Go listen to EphemeralRift, anon.
ASMR gives many people tingles.
It also helps you sleep.
and relax.
and helps anxiety.
Anyone want a custom ASMR?
I'll do it for you right now if you tell me what you want it to say.

Does anyone else keep a dream journal?
I was going to but I never got to it.
>>27642998
I would, but I'm actually a character in the dream you're having right now and anything I write down will just be lost when you wake up.

You mad or what Anon?
>>27642719
You have no one but yourself to blame for not being yourself.
>>27642719
that's pretty nice, send my congratulations to her
What's her name, anon?
Wanna talk about it?
I don't want to say her name. Personally I would consider myself a normie/chad or whatever considering how i'm friends with everybody at school and can flirt with girls fine, I honestly believe I could get with 80 percent of the girls at my school. But this one girl, she just destroys all of my self confidence. She doesn't even try to she's a kind hearted person who builds people up instead of breaking them down, and is making me a better person as I am friends with her and hang out with her frequently. I don't know what's wrong with me or why she isn't showing any interest there's a low possibility of her liking me, and when I inevitably risk everything and tell her how I feel and ask her out she's probably going to shoot me down and our friendship won't be the same.
This shit belongs on /b/. Normie's like you are ruining our board.
>>27642887
I am only trying to help those who want it, anon. I'm sorry that my acts have angered you.
>>27642875
I had the same thing with myself when I was in highschool. She made me better and encouraged me. She's still my best friend to this day, but you know what anon? When I told her my feelings she didn't freak out. She understood that I couldn't help it, and that it's something that I need to do, to confess to her. I think this person in your life can understand in the same way.
Who /drop-out/ here? How do you cope with disappointing everyone around you? Are you happy with your decision?
>>27642602
>Who /drop-out/ here?
this guy right here
>How do you cope with disappointing everyone around you?
teeheeheehehahahahahAHAHAHAHAH
YOU DON'T
or, rather, you go back to school
or, better yet, you magically find yourself a job where you make WAY more money than you ever could if you went to school and got a regular job. like, professional athlete, employed by google kind of job.
>Are you happy with your decision?
I was more of a "dropped because awful grades and lack of interest", so it's doubly painful. Can't say I'm happy, honestly.
I'm actually jealous of people who dropped out in under 2 years. Lucky and smart bastards.
>>27642685
>I'm actually jealous of people who dropped out in under 2 years. Lucky and smart bastards.
thats me :DD
I regret not immediately getting my GED in 2012 and leaving home.
>>27642685
>I'm actually jealous of people who dropped out in under 2 years.
Did that but my parents cucked me into trying a different major. Dropped out again and now I'm here. I hate to have to tell it to people I know when I meet them. Dropping out once is okay, twice not so.
After telling my gf i dont really give a fuck if shes interested in another guy, shes bothered that I would let her go so easily. Do girls want us to be beta and "fight" for them or something? That's some high school shit, why continue a relationship that isn't mutual?
Go post this shit on /b/. Normies like you are ruing our board.
>>27642538
What the fuck is going on in that picture?
fuck off robot

everyone is a normie one way or another. I don't know why I was expecting any valuable input from this board, especially on social issues. thanks for the (you)

How am I going to explain to my parents that they've been paying for me to smoke weed and have anxiety attacks in my dorm by myself while failing because I'm too afraid of what the professors would say if I suddenly started going again today?
>>27642493
professors usually don't care.
>smoking weed
>anxiety
hand, meet glove.
>>27642493
Are you actually going to fix your problems or do you want to bitch?
I'm willing to give you actual advice if you will follow it but I'm certain you wont since you're on r9k
Tell me anon, how does your inner voice sounds ?
You know that voice that speaks out your thoughts in your head or that speaks the words you read.
Mine is higher pitched and sounds way more enthusiast than my real one.
>>27642282
mine sounds flavorless. it doesnt really "sound" like anything desu. there is no sound.
it's only like half there.
but it feels like something. weird and hard to explain
Like a very well payed actor.I hate films.
>>27642352
Yeah, it's a weird feeling right ? It's there, yet not there.
>>27642393
Damn... I thought I was the only guy in the creation that didn't like films...
So, fellow /excavators/, how is life?
I have medium Pectus Excavatum and while it doesn't make me miserable, it hurts both my confidence and my insides.
