The only reason you complain about religion jokes its because of the pol influence. 5 years ago everybody on the internet was an atheist, but ever since the fedora meme making fun of christianity makes you a SJW or something.

Because America still takes Christianity incredibly seriously.

>>94950809
For me that's not the issue. The issue I take from it is that the joke is that in the absence of the belief in God results in hedonism. It's an old stereotype for atheists.

I'm not sure if it's really a stereotype, but it's certainly an extremely played out joke.

>>94950823
The better question is why American writers still think "Man enjoys having nipples touched/licked/etc" is good joke material, rather than something that's already been done to death.

after watching a lot of jordan peterson's stuff, I appreciate Christianity a lot more. Atheists need to realize that our society was founded on christian principles, and without Christianity our society will go to shit. I'd say most people are better off as Christians, and would just turn into degenerate shitheads without Christianity.

Whose society? Because I know you ain't talking about America.

Not to mention, no matter how areligious society gets it still has its foundation in Christianity.

>>94950880
No, they just all remember that edgy teenager phase were they were all too happy to piss all over Christianity in the most embarrassing way possible. In response to that, and also because the average 4channer is a habitual contrarian, they've swung back in the other direction in an effort to dissociate themselves with those memories.

America was absolutely founded on Christian principles. The founding fathers had enough foresight to keep religion separate from matters of state but all of them were religious men. God is in all of the founding documents and many of them Jefferson, Washington, Hancock, and others in their own writings make it clear they were guided by their Christian morals. America is not strictly a Christian nation, but it sure as hell was founded on Christian principles and by Christian men.

Not a stereotype though. Its just a logical end. Putting aside all "why God exists" arguments and looking it by simple materialistic perspective: If there is no Objective moral vector for the society and removing any mention of eternal life (No, by any means it is not achievable in this universe, due to heat death) will lead to taking as much pleasure of the remaining lifespan as possible, leading to ultimate decadence.

>For the ungodly said, reasoning with themselves, but not aright, Our life is short and tedious, and in the death of a man there is no remedy: neither was there any man known to have returned from the grave.
>For we are born at all adventure: and we shall be hereafter as though we had never been: for the breath in our nostrils is as smoke, and a little spark in the moving of our heart:
>Which being extinguished, our body shall be turned into ashes, and our spirit shall vanish as the soft air,
>And our name shall be forgotten in time, and no man shall have our works in remembrance, and our life shall pass away as the trace of a cloud, and shall be dispersed as a mist, that is driven away with the beams of the sun, and overcome with the heat thereof.
>For our time is a very shadow that passeth away; and after our end there is no returning: for it is fast sealed, so that no man cometh again.
>Come on therefore, let us enjoy the good things that are present: and let us speedily use the creatures like as in youth.
>Let us fill ourselves with costly wine and ointments: and let no flower of the spring pass by us:
>Let us crown ourselves with rosebuds, before they be withered:
>Let none of us go without his part of our voluptuousness: let us leave tokens of our joyfulness in every place: for this is our portion, and our lot is this.
>Let us oppress the poor righteous man, let us not spare the widow, nor reverence the ancient gray hairs of the aged.

I don't like this budding narrative that all our current values come from a judeo-christian root, for one it's patently not true, you don't need to look far into it to see our enlightment values are secularist and a deliberate step away from religious thought, and secondly because I feel it's an excuse to propagate an east versus west view.
Not that you can't complain about backwards people coming into a country and disrupting the value system, but still.

Imagine you are on the jury in a murder trial

There's a lot of evidence for the guilt of the man on trial. multiple eyewitnesses to the murder, video recordings of the murder, tons of DNA evidence, so on and so forth

But, the defense lawyer claims, that evidence is not 100% proof, and the murder was actually committed by an alien, which nobody saw and defies all logic and reason.

But since you can't be SURE either way which is what really happened, you should give equal likelihood to both theories and therefore cannot convict.

Do you buy this reasoning? Because billions of religious people have.

Rick is a nihilistic gary-stu that can never die and will always get out of any situation and doesn't actually care about anything. Him killing aliens carries no weight and is completely meaningless and doesn't work by itself without someone else there to make it funny or make the action have tension. Is why I found his moments in that pickle episode so damn dull until he got to the prison and actually interacted with other characters and the comedy could start to work again.

god almost certainly doesn't exist and nobody with access to all the information on the web has any excuse for believing in one. When your great grandparents only got their information from people in their immediate physical vicinity and whatever local authorities existed that ignorance was excusable, but today it just means you're lazy.

the personal god that listens to your thoughts and prayers and sometimes answers them doesn't exist. flip a coin 100 times and pray to your god to make it heads every time. get others to pray with you, donate money to your church if you think it helps. record results. easy proof.

no creator or vengeful is required to explain anything we see, everything from evolution to disease to thunder to the big bang is well understood to have arisen from natural causes. Yes the universe can come from nothing, physics allows it.

Souls don't exist. Everything intrinsic to your personal being is in the physical brain. Studies of brain injuries reveal this clearly. Your identity, your sense of self, preferences, memories, morals, quirks, everything you love or hate or that drives any action is chemistry in your head and can be altered.

Free will doesn't exist either. MRI brain scans can predict what a person will choose before they are aware of making the choice.

When you die, there is nothing else. You know it because you've all been dead before you were born. What was that like? There you go champ. You have only these few decades to experience what it is to be. Spend it learning about the universe, not worshipping to some badly written fiction.

Also Rick and Morty sucks.

The most pragmatic rationality here would be divesting into at the very least spiritual reflection or cultural Christianity, if not practicing religion. You can hate that fact as much as you want, but from a purely logical standpoint it's the contextual truth.

the appeal of atheism is that it's true. no one pretends its uplifting or optimistic or makes you feel good. on the contrary, it's a pretty scary idea that takes courage to face head on.

you could argue religion makes you happier, you could argue it makes society better (it doesn't) but none of that makes it true. so is it better to believe a pleasant lie or a distasteful truth?

>>
>>94952580
As a Christian I find "agnosticism" (I put it in quotations because I have fundamental issues to how the term has come to be used) much worse than atheism. Be hot or cold, but be lukewarm and you are spit out.

>>94952501
Christianity is only pleasant for those who know little about it (which includes many of its followers). The teachings of Christ require an incredible amount of willpower that comes down to a lot more than just "believing," contrary to what you get from a lot of American Sunday schools.

There's shit that scares me a lot about Christianity; not about what happens if you disobey God, but what obeying God theoretically entails.
>>
>>94952580
agnostics are people rational enough to know gods and souls and afterlives are stupid fictions but too cowardly to face the notion of non-existence after death and a universe that doesn't care about you in the slightest.

If you were really agnostic I could tell you I'm God and command you to worship me and give me money on penalty of eternal hell, and since you can't prove me wrong you'd have to do it just in case I was telling the truth.
>>
>>94950795
in a strange way, this actually kinda pro-religion. These people consider the most toxic parts of themselves to be their idolatry, hedonism and lack of faith. Same with the kids and their desires to destroy.

I can't tell if Morty is actually a psychopath or if he just feels like his empathy is toxic due to spending so much time with Rick. Rick certainly thought his attachment to his grandson was toxic but his Nihilism to be totally healthy.
>>
>>94950880
Personally I complain about it because it's some low hanging fruit type shit. It's a safe easy dig with zero consequences and because you know that if they would attack any other religion their would be an endless shit storm because of it.
>>
>>94952580
Agnosticism is separate from atheism, it just describes the confidence in your belief. You can be a Christian but still be uncertain to the point of just saying "well, I might as well! what if he does exist?"

It's a strength of belief thing. The presence of belief is a binary, but agnosticism describes (along with gnositic qualities) the relative intensity within either position. I'm agnostic in the sense that I admit I don't know everything in the universe and there might be something fundamentally wrong with my understanding... but an atheist in the sense that nothing I've seen has convinced me yet that I am wrong.

And I'm far enough away from my shitty teenage years and I've had enough emotional turmoil and people dying under my care to have thought about it beyond a stupid hat I'd never wear.

no, I just don't carw about blindly worshipping anything, because the existence of God is something that can neither be proven nor disproven, and claiming otherwise is just stupid.
If there really is a God, I'm confident he's good enough to understand that not believing in him doesn't inherently make me a bad person so he won't punish me. If there isn't at least I didn't engage in stupid wars because of my beliefs.
If there is a God and he's vengeful, then I'm glad I'm not worshipping him anyway.
>>
>>94952616
>. The teachings of Christ require an incredible amount of willpower that comes down to a lot more than just "believing"

On the contrary, your bible specifically states that whether you get into heaven is dictated by one single thing: accepting jesus christ as your personal savior. And the most important thing you can do with your life is convert others to your church.

Being a good person or excersizing willpower are ancillary. Those are things you have to do anyway to function in a society. Control your base urges and act with consideration for the people around you. Without religion we'd still have laws against murder and theft because people don't want to get robbed and killed, and people would still have to obey those laws or be punished.

The purpose of your religion is to elevate the clergy into positions of power and give the church money and to spread itself as much as possible so they have more power and more money. It's harsh but it's true.

Because we're not allowed to make fun of Islam. We're allowed to flaggelate ourselves for having a religion, but we're not allowed to diss worse religions like the "Magic hippy organic woo chakra crystla bullshit" cult or the other death cult.

Also, FUCK THIS EPISODE!

I was expecting a deep moral about dealing with who you are in a healthy way instead of literally dumping your shitty parts into a container someone else has to deal with...

And do you know what we got? Some shitty edgelord bullcrap where "Our toxic parts make us who we are" and Rick, edgelord magiscientist supreme rick, his idea of "Healthy" is suddenly a wimpy hippy bitch that can't even accept some views don'-.

Motherfucker, this bluepilled cancerfest was dissing SJWs for not hating "Toxic" views enough.

Anyway, back on track...

No, Justin Soiledpants and Dumb Hamon, our Shadows are a part of our psyche. Our """Toxic Parts"""... Fuck, how does it feel to realize a show that regularly gets called the smartest show on television tried to tackle this subject and did so with far less maturity than a fucking PS2 game named Persona 4?

Every atheist knows this, it's nothing revolutionary. Quite the opposite, it's a trivial non-argument. Russell's Teapot. Of course you can't disprove it. You can't disprove anything. That's not the point.

What's the evidence? Overwhelmingly that every religious text is a lie, and there is no god that answers prayers or created shit. That's what matters.
>>
>>94952509
He had no way to escape and was so fucking zen that he accepted his inevitable fate instantly.

I felt the episode was too healthy-Morty centric. I'd have preferred seeing more of the differences in Rick, such as what he does with his sciences and how his family reacts to his new personality. I'd have even liked seeing toxic Rick and Morty more if it meant less of the healthy Morty. Still, the episode was okay.

Why blame /pol/ for the neckbeard fedora meme when it's something liberals pushed and use regularly?

Are all the "Ugh, fucking /pol/" tards here too young to remember what the internet was like fifteen years ago, or are they just SJWs here to try and poison our metaphorical well by shitting in it?

Also, I'm an atheist and I hate all religions. Not equally, though, because while Christianity is kinda dumb, it helped make western society what it is, warts and all. Islam is a cancer, hippy bullshit is a cancer, and glorified nihilism: The Religion (Everything that claims we need a balance between good and evil and you gain enlightenment through sitting on your ass) is slightly less cancer than the aforementioned two.

You can't be certain that the Rick who met the devil was in anymore than that episode. There's decent evidence that we have had episodes in multiple universes.

That and Rick is a hypocrite, so big shock there. Or he might just view the Devil as more of an abstract, or some advanced universal intelligence that he defeated without the need for God

People seem to miss the fact that 4chan got "older" but not at the same rate as the original population did. Newfags came in, typically 15-20 years old.

Millenials have a split. The older half is majority atheist. The younger half is majority Christian. That's why recent trends online have shifted.

Why are people focusing so much on one little example of how the personal interpretation of toxicity works? And why the Christian one?

>>
>>94952706
it's absolutely true. Whatever you think you've disproven, someone with enough imagination can come up with a reason why it might not really be disproven. Maybe a demon changed the results of your test to fuck with you, or maybe everything's a dream you're having so no proofs or experiments are actually real.

That's why "you can't disprove it" has never been a useful argument. Rather it's the last bastion of somebody who has none.

Do you hope I'll think you're right? Do you hope people here will think you're right? Do you think you've uncovered some amazing magical way to get out of having to debate, think, and defend your shitty and objectively wrong views?

This was a bad episode of a bad season of a show that's been on a downward spiral with the rare good episode for a fucking long time. But because the downward spiral accelerated when the wimmins were hired for diversity reasons and they felt like making Rick cry and felt like going all BBC Sherlock "We're so clever, stop liking our protagonist, he's not healthy" on us...

I can't prove that I have a Stand without using it on you or some innocents, but you can't prove that I don't have a Stand because non-Stand users can't see Stands.

It's not that nothing matters, it's that meaning is relative.
You hear people die in the news all the time, you quickly forget about it, because it doesn't really matter to you. But that person who died was someone's parent, child or sibling, and they meant a lot to them.
In a universe so big and infinite, what really matters is what matters to you and you only.
That's how I see it at least.

you actually can't. Flat earthers have found a way to explain away any evidence for a round earth.

Are you like 15-17 or something? Almost no one you argue with online will change their mind. The only thing you can realistically hope for is that other people read your points and agree with you.

Anyone arguing with you obviously disagrees with you, and arguments on the internet typically INCREASE their confidence in their opinion, regardless of what you throw at them in a debate. I simply didn't see the need to debate with you because your points are so shitty that anyone else reading them is driven away by default, so what purpose does having a structured, nuanced argument with you have?

A. Wrong. By my own logic, you already lost because you started with the name-calling and degradation first. Tumblr's that way, honey.
B. One story tackles the subject of a person's id with tact, purpose, and maturity. Another uses it as an excuse to say toxic a lot, say you shouldn't trust """toxic people""" because they'll betray you, and remind you that Rick is so super special he can turn a whole world evil in an afternoon because this show has stopped being about the adventures Rick and Morty going on and started being about Rick the all-powerful ubermensch and his cute broken edgy boi Morty. To say one tackles the subject matter of a person's negative side better is objective fact, whether you like that or not. Run along, now. Back to tumblr.

Souls are the biggest crock of shit out there though. It's something that made sense thousands of years ago, and just became a cultural thing.

What is a soul? Answer what it even does to me, because it's honestly just a crap shoot for explanations out there. Say an old guy is super pious for his whole life. Super nice guy. Then he falls and hits his head. Cognitively he's still there, his memories are intact, and he is still (defined by his family) him. However, they notice he seems angrier. More prone to lie. More likely to drink. More likely to get violent.

Did he die when he hit his head? Is this a new person, a new soul? Or was his soul impacted by the fall? (I've seen a case like this btw on my psych clerkship, shit was fucked up)

>>94952841
Personally I don't really get why people need to label themselves based on their philosophical beliefs. If they're into that, more power to them, but I don't really care for that. So I never really understood the subtle differences between all the different labels etc.
That said, people usually first attach to the idea of nihilism because it gives them an excuse for all of their problems, it enables depression. "If nothing really matters, why try?"
But as far as I know, that's just nihilism for dummies, the actual belief is something more like "nothing really objectively matter, because meaning is subjective and relative".
I might be wrong though, I haven't read about this stuff in a while, and as I said I'm not the best at distinguishing the definitions.

>>94950880
I'm going to reply seriously instead of memeing at you. I've been an atheist for most of my life now, and at some point I realized the so-called "progressivism" that a lot of other atheists were very fond of was just another religion. I flirted with it and it sure felt like a religion from the inside, complete with the science-denying bits. The vast majority of allegedly anti-religious fiction today, whether comedy or drama, is progressive. I won't prop up progressives, or their recent favorite, Islam, in a fight against Christians. Non-retarded Christians seem to like me (and sustainable civilization) more. There is atheistic and anti-religious fiction that is not progressive, but it is a different beast and not what we're seeing in nearly every case.

You are confusing nihilism with postmodernism. Nihilism is simply the position that something (like meaning or objective reality) does not exist. Subjective or relative existence is a response to nihilism, not strictly part of it.

You misplace material and immaterial
If something cause brain defect after which he cannot control his own actions or radically changed due to that, it doesnt imply anything on soul, but about the fact, that he got brain damage.
The point that Body and spirit desires different things are no new in Christianity (or be it in any religion). Technically Body is a weapon, by which we operate on the matter. One of the impact of fall of Humans, by Christianity is desynchronization of Body-Mind-Spirit relations.
TL/DR to answer your questions:
>Did he die when he hit his head?
No, Death of human is separation of body and soul. If he is alive, he has a soul.
>Is this a new person, a new soul?
No, Just got a brain damage that caused malfunction of body.

He was in complete control of his actions though. He had no expressed confusion over what he was doing. If the soul is so completely controlled by the body (physical mind) as to it being so easily overshadowed, and our actions/expressed beliefs can be separate from our "true selves" and not impact our soul, that means that our "holiness" is predetermined and that any actions we take are irrelevant.

So Calvinism? You a follower?

But wouldn't just believing that nothing matters be a fundamentally incomplete belief? It's like you're missing half of a whole, why believe that nothing matters if you get no conclusion from that?

What is meaning in the first place? etc. I don't get how anyone could declare themselves a nihilist and stop there.
>>
>>94952999
just like how nothing religious people spout is viable. Studying the logic of flat earthers really puts religion into perspective.

They are able to explain literally every evidence you offer that counters their worldview, and have plenty of "evidence" of their own to support their model. It's interesting to see what human imagination is capable of, and to realize we can all fall into these pitfalls of mental gymnastics.

Sure there are theology majors who don't believe in a deity but still have a passion for studying all the works that belief has inspired.

You'd probably find plenty of that in Europe, which is fairly secular, but in America you can't really go around saying "I think Christianity is false but let me explain how amazing the Bible is from a historical and literary perspective" because religion is very polarizing as a topic. We live in a Christian nation, people grow up indoctrinated by it, and those who break away from it tend to have a backlash from that indoctrination that pushes them into seething disdain. There's not a lot of room for dispassionate discussion.

No, I didnt mean that. I meant that sometimes Body acts independently and it is especially noticeable with someone with trauma similar.

The short expression would be that "Spirit desires one, Heart desires another and mind desires nether of those choices" gets more noticeable.

Of course we have free will by which we conduct operations, but I was focusing on part of sin-virtue, that can only be committed, if person isn't mentally ill. So we see a severe malfunction of a weapon, not that of a spirit.
>>
>>94953046
>because we want to
yes, because we place meaning in our own lives, and realize subconsciously that our own life matters /to ourselves/. But that would render the conclusion "nothing matters" meaningless, because again if meaning is for us to decide, it means some things do HAVE meaning, which can't really exist in a purely nihilistic mindset.
Either nothing, not even your own life, matters, and you're a nihilist, or meaning is assigned subjectively, and you're not.
That's why nihilism seems like an incomplete belief to me.

Not quite exactly. According to Basil of Caesarea, "becoming a god (Not big G) is the highest goal of all"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divinization_(Christian)
We must strive to become more Godlike, by which it also means dominance. This, of course also include the dominance over the body, that is an instrument. This is the prime reason of fasting, maintaining moderation of urges of carnal pleasures.

>So someone born a sociopath with no redeeming qualities by a clinically defined brain lesion or defect is just out of balance, and may actually get into heaven?

Christianity states that in order to be welcomed into the kingdom of heaven, one must accept Jesus Christ as their lord and savior. Therefore, anyone who does NOT accept Christ as their Lord will burn in hell. Therefore, every Jew who died in the Holocaust is burning in hell, but many of the Nazis are in heaven since many of them identified as Christian and Christ would've forgiven their sins as long as they held him in their hearts. Does that sound like a system concocted by a just and moral God?
Whatever good came from Christianity was in spite of itself, not because of itself.

You guys are funny, really.

You guys can't at all argue against the possible existence of a being that has possibly created this world simply due to the fact we know we can create our own simulated world given enough time and processing power.

Therefore we have no idea whether or not our world is in fact simulated or not.

Pascal's Wager assumes that God rewards belief instead of punishes it.
Pascal's Wager also doesn't specify a specific religion.

It's an odd thought process which completely disassociates the whole from the sum of it's parts.
They don't realise that the only reason Saudi Arabia and such can remain oppressive shitholes is via the general consensus of most of the population. They somehow think the country itself and it's values exists separately to the values and morals of the citizens that compose it.

>19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
>20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
All this is suggesting is that people know what's right and what is wrong and deliberately ignore the light that is Christ because it would expose their evil.

>21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Those who are good will come to Christ will come to him for Christ is good.

Going by this, the Jews in the Holocaust KNEW Christ was their lord and savior, but ignored this and rejected his name, therefore condemning themselves to hell. It also suggests that the Nazis knew that what they did was wrong, but deliberately ignored that it was wrong. However, if they came to know the truth and repented, they would go to heaven. Therefore, my point still stands.

If you believe in Christ and repent your sins, you go to heaven. He died on the cross to free us from sin so we don't have to do Passover to get forgiven. If Nazis repented after the war, they'd go to Heaven, but unless the Jews converted before dying, they'd go to hell.

You really don't have any self awareness, do you? Thinking there's a god after the age of 12 is insane. Thinking real people can have magic powers after the age of 12 is insane. God and Jesus are fairy tales, just like Santa.

HOWEVER, these fairy tales exist for a reason. They teach us morality at an age when we aren't ready to grasp concepts like personal responsibility and why morality is important. Christianity has its place in this world as a primer to atheism and a tool for keeping out the mudslimes that want us both dead, do you understand?

And "Saying you can't prove something is the worst possible argument because I say so" is a bad argument. Do you understand?

>>94952823

Are you genuinely stupid or trolling? Did you get your basic understanding of Christianity from Steven Anderson or IFB? believing also means that means to keep their commandments.

I'm not saying that Pascal himself wasn't a massive Christfag, I'm saying that Pascal's Wager as an argument can't be used to justify belief in any specific religion. For example, it doesn't justify being a Christian instead of a Muslim, nor does it support Christianity over any theoretical religions that don't even exist.

Pascal's Wager says that if I threaten to have a nuclear detonation switch in my back pocket I'll use if you dumbfucks don't give me a million dollars, you should give me a million dollars because the alternative is the US getting nuked.

Pascal's Wager is a lie for cowards that need to rely solely on "Yeah, I'm probably not right, BUT WHAT IF I WAS RIGHT?! OMG WOULDN'T THAT BE SCARY?! DO WHAT I SAY SO I WON'T NUKE THE US AND GOD WON'T SEND YOU TO HELL!".

It's literally the worst possible argument a tard could make. It's also my personal "Yeah, you're too stupid to notice when you're wrong" moment. I'm telling the audience here why you're a tard, I'm telling you why you're a tard, then I'm leaving.

>Rickmancing the Stone

>Pickle Rick
Decent action scenes, but otherwise unremarkable

>Vindicators 3: The Return of Worldender
Better than eps. 2-3 by a mile, but doesn't come close to anything like "Auto Erotic Assimilation" or "Total Rickall". I'd place it just above "Get Schwifty".

>The Whirly Dirly Conspiracy
Solid, but still below par.

>Rest and Ricklaxation
I've never been a fan of the "guy wants girl, guy gets a chance with girl, guy completely blows it" plot (mostly because I've seen it happen too many time to Steve from American Dad), but was an interesting look into their personalities and it had /ss/, so I'm staying optimistic.

Overall, Season 3 is the weakest one without a question. I'm hoping that, if there's a season 4, they'll either school the new writers or can them, both of which are, unfortunately, very unlikely.

I agree that Pascal's Wager is a load of shit, but not for the reason you listed.

The general idea behind Pascal's Wager is that you lose nothing by believing, but gain an infinite reward if God actually exists. Faith is free — it doesn't cost "a million dollars".
Pascal's Wager treats faith as a free insurance policy against damnation.

i have issues with how the show acknowledge that everyone treats Morty better when he is his super confident self, he even get woman to like him "Everything for you Morty" , yet his crush doesn't acknowledge him, she even helps rick to get the old morty back, and says she doesn't care about morty anyways, and after that the show has her sorta acknowledge him, like saying men can be wimps , eventough Morty is actually badass a fuck and she doesn't know it.

Most of you don't actually care about what others have to say and have your mind made up to begin with meaning there is actually no real discussion occurring so I will only say one thing.

Think about the order of life forms and their vast differences between each other. From single cell organism to virus to ant to dog to human.

Look at the vast differences in their capability. Look how the single cell organism isn't conscious of the world. The ant is but it understands little. Let's look at the dog and see how it understands and computes much more of the world around it in terms of information. Now at last look at us. We understand and are aware of much more than the rest.

But remember...the single cell organism wasn't even aware of the world. The ant was superior...the dog superior to the ant and so far. But each live in their own level of understanding of the world

Think that perhaps you're the ant. There's higher life forms than you that you're simply...too simple and limited to perceive or understand. You simply don't have the capacity to just like the single cell organism.

God is not magic, it's a higher life form.

Your expectations were retarded as are your points. The show capitalizes on the "nothing matters everything is shit" message, and the episode runs on the idea that even being healthy is just another type of being dysfunctional.

The fact it runs with the trope of "Your evil embodied" is the exact point moron. Remember how the show keeps using sci-fi clichés as the premises for each episode? Remember "Anatomy Park" and "The Purge Episode"? Why for God's sake would you ever consider it being "done" would matter jack shit?

There is no such thing as "mental exercise" that can apply to humans.
And how body operates and precieves cannot be compared with how spirit operates, that is a basics of concepts of creativity, self awareness and so on.

I don't think the show has ever really shown her to be shallow. She just barely had any characterization at all.

She has received less focus then Principle Vagina up until this point.

Spiciness objectively adds nothing to the taste of the food. It's for bland food that has literally nothing going for it and for people that ruined their tastebuds (which happens when you eat too much spicy food) so spiciness is the only thing they can feel that comes close to being a taste.

Depends on the mass extinctions that happen on the world.

In general, the hardiest generalist will survive, and it's kind will inherrit the earth.

Bugs arose first, filling niches. The problem for them was theirs was a time of unprecedentedly high O2 content. So, when microbes found a way to make lunch of cellulouse, that Carbon stopped being bound up in dead plants. (The carboniferous is where our fossil fuels come from, not dinosaurs.)

The the lizards inherrited the earth, some of them learning the trick of maintaining a body temperature, from them came mammals and birds. And in their wake mammal inherrited the Earth.

Now, we continue. Who'll take over after us?

Certainly we've been on the edges of mass extinction, had the carbon content of our atmosphere dropped as much as it has risen since we started tracking it, plants would have started dying off, unable to extract enough carbon from the air to photosynthesize anymore.
(One of the benefits of a higher CO2 level in the atmosphere is that plants require much less water to exist.)

But, in raising the CO2 level, we've perhaps finally ended the interglacial period the Earth has been in for the majority of our existance. What that will mean for life as it exists is unknown.

>>94953723
No, I fully understand what you're saying; our limited perception isn't capable of perceiving more advanced forms of life.

But here's the thing, we aren't ants. We are quite literally the greatest species on earth, and perhaps even the greatest in our galaxy.
You justify your premise with the limitations that govern lesser lifeforms — limitations that do not apply to us.
What is it that you think separates humanity from ants? Is it our size? The number of our limbs?
What separates humanity from cats? A tail? Fur?
Why are we the dominants species of this planet?

Our cognitive abilities are not the same as the rest of earths inhabitants. You cannot apply the limits of lesser lifeforms onto humanity when it's the very absence of those limits that set us apart.

I'm not saying god doesn't exist, and I'm not saying that we could perceive god if he did. I'm not making any assertions.
Perhaps there are cosmic entities beyond our ability to recognize. Who knows.

What I do know is that you can't justify faith in those hypothetical entities based on the assumption that we're the same as ants, or dogs, or fish.
We are men. We have the ability to rationally examine the world. We can build tools to examine the world in our ways our eyes never could.
Our understanding of reality isn't limited to what we see, or hear, or personally experience; it's based on logic.
Logic isn't restrained by intuition. We can build machines that analyze things in more detail and in greater scope than any human mind could ever comprehend. We are not limited by our humanity.

If you want to assert that god exists then you have to do better than comparing us to fucking dogs.

Obviously not, because if man is flawed then you can make the inference that God is flawed too. In the Bible he's also shown to take sides, or else he wouldn't plague the Egyptians and favor Moses and his followers, so you can also see that he's not above bias, ideals, or a sense of right and wrong. If he saw everything as equally unimportant, he would never intervene at all, or even create the Earth for that matter.

Highly questionable actually. The brain isn't as easily reproducible as we thought it'd be, and there's issues in replicating using modern computational knowledge (not hardware). You can affect reactions using physical stimuli sure, but that's a far way from proving that consciousness is fully understood.

ah but can you refute the points? If the moon supposedly moves west (relative to the surface of the earth, as round earth models insist) then why did the eclipse move west to east? the shadow should have moved east to west, as the moon does.

Also why was the shadow of the eclipse so tiny compared to the moon? The sun should be far enough away to create a shadow as big or bigger than the moon itself, if the sun really is so far away as global models claim

I'm sure there's explanations for all of this, but you don't know any do you?

If He doesnt have personality, then yes. And this is one of the way to disapprove non-personal god religions in General.
From Christian perspective, God made everything, because he is infinitively perfect and infinitively loving. He didnt desire to be alone in his glory so he created beings that could be like him and share His glory to them: Humans.
So its not a problem, when we talk about personal God and not an impersonal force.

What evidence do you have that turns this "may" into a "does?"
You can't assert that god exists on an assumption.

You've observed that ants can't perceive higher life forms, but what evidence actually suggests that this is pattern that extends all the way to humanity?
Ants not being cable of rational deduction is not profound statement about the existence of god. A single cell organism not being able to perceive a dog means nothing when single cell organisms aren't capable of perceiving fucking anything.
You're creating a fake pattern out of thin air and using it to prob up faith in the divine.

>Yikes no. The math is really against that, what with the billions of stars in our galaxy and the literally millions of worlds that fall into the Goldilocks zone (which might not even be necessary) as sapient life candidates. (Or more according to NASA)
This assumes that the origin of life is a likely event given optimal conditions, which is another assumption. I didn't say we WERE the greatest species in our galaxy, I said we "perhaps" were the greatest species in our galaxy, which is perfectly plausible.
But this is an irrelevant tangent. My point is that you can't use the ignorance of ants to as evidence of the ignorance of hunanity.

I can tell you're lying out your ass and pretending you're informed on simulation theory.

The sheer power and weight of the simulation theory is that you can't hand-wave it aside due to the simple fact that

1 We make simulations
2 We know processors will continue to increase in speed
3 Consciousness can be rendered as math
4 We can eventually create said consciousness
5 We could eventually create and render anything eventually

There are no "rebuttals" because there is no magical "what-if" technology that makes this possible, just like how personal computers were seen as coming in the 60s by people that knew where processors are going we know this is coming eventually. It's sheer math. Period.

The fact you would speak so foolishly on here and shame mankind with your affront to intelligence is disgusting. I'll have no more of you, wretch. I have a class to teach soon anyway, enjoy being a traitor to mankind's great achievements.

It's very high level satire parodying people who think they're above a belief system.

So according to your logic, high-level clergymen require no faith because they're closest to the source? Only people who know little require faith? Fucking retard.

Everything is built upon facts and facts and facts and testing and testing and testing. Just because a given person doesn't personally understand much science, does not mean it's a matter of faith.

being a theory doesn't mean it's unproven. a law explains what things do, a theory explains how things do them. a theory doesn't turn into a law with more evidence, they're two different kinds of things. also you might be confusing theory and model.

Many mechanics of gravity exist as unproven theory you stupid fucker, seriously, get an education.

The point of this is that even though many parts of it are pure theory, we still base tons of science upon these parts because we're trusting it.

There are quite a few theories in the field of science that have had trust placed in them and created work and math and even new fields of science that have completely disintegrated upon the original hypothesis falling apart over the years.

Go look those up, some spanned decades.

>>94954406
>Science doesn't require faith because unlike when someone asks "how do we know heaven is real?", when someone asks "how does gravity work?" the answer isn't "no one knows".
The answer is "Someone else knows". Which is faith.
I personally know gravity is real because I have tested it in the lab, any science student has, because it's a really simple test. But for people who have NOT done that test, they are relying on the general consensus, which is pure faith.

>>94954480
>>someone else knows = no one knows / it can't be disproven
You're really, really stupid. You realise WHY any science student is made to test gravity is BECAUSE what I'm talking about is a cornerstone of the scientific method. My degree has barely anything to do with Physics but the gravity test is one of the ones used to show the replication. They're not expecting the student to find out that the earth's gravity has changed, or that anyone is wrong, they are simply showing you that science is built on replicability, that personal verification is a part of being a scientist, because nobody is infallible.

BUT BEFORE THAT REPLICATION, YOU PERSONALLY ARE SIMPLY BELIEVING IT BECAUSE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE SAID IT IS TRUE.
It never means it cannot be proven/disproven, because as I mentioned, I and basically every other student has proven it personally in the lab. What it means is that before your personal verification you are simply TRUSTING that it is correct. Which is a matter of faith.

I bet you're one of those "I fucking LOVE science" rejects.
>>
>>94954349
Which has gone through centuries of rigorous scientific studies.

>>94954355
Any hypothesis needs to be tried and tested in the scientific process to be a scientific hypothesis. Simulation theory has yet to undergo that trial, hence the notion that it's currently pure science is utterly laughable.

>>94954362
Point taken. But being impossible to research, it will remain a theory and jumping the gun on whether or not it's "pure science" is a leap of faith.

>compelling people to be good and sacrifice themselves for good.
Have you ever heard of the Prisoner's Dilemma, and how it relates to society as a whole? Basically, the more "moral" everyone is, the better it is for society, but the moral individuals lose out. The individual sacrifices for society to prosper.
But the individual who takes rather than gives, he will pretty much always benefit from such an act, while society as a whole will suffer.

So the thing is, what is "compelling people to be good and sacrifice themselves for good", when doing such a thing brings the individual nothing but downsides? Religion uses an eternal reward that takes no resources to convince people to self sacrifice for the good of society at large.

Only idiots think Religion is about money. It's not even specifically about control, it's more about solving the societal problem that the moral always lose out in their lifetime, illustrated by the prisoners dilemma (in which no matter what Prisoner B does, Prisoner A will ALWAYS get a personally advantageous result by being the cunt).

Basically, what is your incentive? As I mentioned, Communism is attractive to the atheist because the state fulfills the role of God as a moral arbiter, punishing those who take from society in order to keep society flowing. It's a terrible ideology but at least it has a mechanism for solving the problem. What's your take on solving it once the eternal reward has been taken away?

>>
>>94954909
I might add that this concept is explored in the episode.

Toxrick lost because of his morality. He sacrificed himself so that (What he perceived as) Morty wouldn't die. AKA, he chose cooperation (tolerance, morality, etc), and it came with him as an individual losing everything. Meanwhile Goodrick chose noncooperation (intolerance, immorality) as he was prepared to kill to get what he wanted, and as such as an individual he got everything he wanted.

Then you look at Morty. Detoxified Morty had everything he ever wanted in life as an individual. He was rich, he had women, and he genuinely had happiness. But he was shown to be siphoning it all from society as a whole, to be a completely sociopathic bastard who fucked people over to get everything he had.

i was under the impression that Teuton was another name for Templar but whatever

Also while what you say is accurate its still non-sense, its like seeing a sailor and an army soldier walking around together. yes they are both in the same military although completely different branches with completely different responsibilities

an impossibility perhaps not although certainly an oddity, really its likely whoever was doing this didn't even think that it might be weird for two different orders to be with each other. Its kinda like seeing a Dominican and a Franciscan Monk just hanging out, I'm sure it has happened but its not typical

I love religion, yet I do not believe in a deity. I recognize that, because of religion, some fucked up shit has happened. I also recognize that some good shit has happened. And while I don't practice religion, and often have disdain for the people I know who do, I still appreciate it and enjoy learning about it and the cultures that is has shaped/been shaped by.

>>94955341
>Also while what you say is accurate its still non-sense, its like seeing a sailor and an army soldier walking around together. yes they are both in the same military although completely different branches with completely different responsibilities

It doesnt mean anything. Sure, Hospitallers were about protecting pilgrims ans sick, Templars guarding Jerusalem and Teutons were different mainly just because, it was generally German Order, unlike former two, but still used by general military operations.
Its neither nonsense and neither absurd to see those to together, as they operated in the same region for same mission and reasons, during the crusader era.
So its not like sailor and soldier, More like Grenadier and Artillerist.

He's making a russell's teapot argument. Basically, "you can't disprove God" is a stupid argument because you have to prove things exist instead of assume they exist and prove them false.

Basically, if I said there was an invisible teleporting leprechaun in your home that successfully evades all manners of measuring or tracking it, you would still say I was bullshitting even if you couldn't prove the leprechaun doesnt exist. That's because you don't need to prove the leprechaun doesn't exist, the burden is on me to prove it exists before you believe me.

That same set of reasoning is being applied to God, in this case.

Isn't that the normal thing? It's usually not atheism though but rather agnosticism though. Almost all people I ever met were agnostics but barely anyone of them hated religions, some of them are even interested in them. Hell I even studied comparative religion or science of religion or however this is called in English despite not believing in anything there.

It's really weird seeing all that hate from both sides when reading stuff on American boards. Most US atheists I've seen are pretty assholish, but many Christians are lunatics too so I don't really like any party here.

Aren't most American Christians just like the normal Christians that like Jesus as a philosoph and person, but don't believe in all that talking snake, sin and cross stuff the bible talks about?

I think that it's from the general user base aging and realizing there's a lot more to gain intellectually from understanding religion than from dismantling it. I say that as a man who's been atheistic for most of his life. If you're a walking contradiction like Harmon, who's constantly trying to validate how his intelligence puts him above others while also being self deprecating about how asinine that is, you'll forever be unable to reconcile with yourself. Rick and Morty is basically his coping mechanism for his inability to grow as a person. He's undoubtedly a smart man and capable of recognizing his faults, but has long since deemed them insurmountable.

>does the easter bunny exist

>does god exist
a tough one. A socially acceptable thing to believe in that means vastly different things to different people, plus the fact that we do not understand everything about how the universe operates? I'd like some proof of said entity's existence but this would be hard because it means such different things to different people. Narrowing down a definition of what exactly we are trying to prove is a task in and of itself. Until we understand more about how the universe operates, I'll man up and say I truly do not know if a god-like entity or creator exists.

Biggest complaint is that Rick's motivation this episode felt really contrived. I was never sold on why he needed his toxicity back. They didn't really portray Rick as weak or needing his toxicity or the consequences of him not having his toxicity. He was just like "MORTY I NEED MY TOXICITY BACK AND YOU DO TOO ITS A PART OF US AND THEY NEED HOMES EVEN THOUGH I'M A NIHILIST THAT CONDEMNED AN ENTIRE DIMENSION TO BEING MONSTROUS VERSIONS OF THEIR FORMER SELVES"
>>
>>94956170
I thought that they (or just Rick) would get attacked and realise that he can't defend himself, or that his ego is what drives him forward and gives him the confidence to do things.
>>
>>94956231
I thought so too but it felt like they didn't have time

Without his ego, Rick wouldn't have made the discoveries that led to his ability to travel to another world to get in the machine to begin with
I'm sure Toxic Rick pointed that out off screen when convincing Pure Rick to fuse them back
>>
>>94956170
Rick lost most of his spirit after getting detoxified. He basically became a lame-ass old man, with no real compassion for his family on top of that. As with Morty, it was sort of a mixed bag where you'd rather get back to the whole package. He decided to get his toxic part back as soon as he realized that he no longer feels anything for Morty.
>>
>>94956297
Pure Rick is Neutral to a fault
Toxic Rick is Chaotic to a fault

Rick tries to deny his feelings and fight them a lot we see that dissonance with him a lot why is it a surprise that he considers them toxic

its not about making people actually good in their hearts, its about making society better by making people act good

that's what religion is all about structuring society
>>
>>94951042
The common argument I see is that atheism is purely self serving and that christianity is purely moral and teaches someone to be selfless

the problem however is that everything you do in Christianity is inherently self serving. It is all so YOU go to the good place. You barely do the things because they are moral, you do them because you go to sky-lounge happy place if you do. Think of it like this, if hell were the reward for doing a bunch of moral good deeds in life, would anyone be christian? Probably not because people are not that selfless, not even fucking close.

Fear of punishment from god= fear of punishment from the law, except I'd argue fear of punishment from the law is much more effective as a deterrent because it is much more obvious, easy to enforce, and immediate,
>>
>>94956884
But it is just as selfless? There is no good in people's hearts with religion, it is all done in hopes of being on good terms with sky daddy and not being thrown in an eternal hell pit. At least punishment from law and societal standards have immediate and observable consequences.
>>
>>94956902
Except that you are wrong and your basic understanding of Christianity is like that of a child.
You can read about concept of Theosis and Orthodox perspective of heaven and hell
>>
>>94956970
how is anything I said untrue? Your debate skills are like that of a child. Christians are mostly moral in the hopes that they will not be sent to hell and will instead be sent to heaven. That is the punishment/reward system on which the religion is built. Once again, answer the question, would a christian remain a christian if they were as moral as possible yet still ended up in hell? I think not. the entire religion practically hinges on the promise of eternal comfort and the fear of eternal damnation. it is foolish to deny that these are core parts of Christianity.
>>
>>94956970
Random religious people don't know about that though and don't act on it, many of them don't even read the bible completely, let alone do they know anything about Theosis or christian theories like how Augustinus or Aquin interpret sin and good deeds or anything like that.
On the other side normal Christians don't believe in hell anymore either anyway, so the comment above is really relative. Nowadays most of them do good things just for the sake of it. Nobody seriously believes in divine punishment and angels and that stuff anymore. Can't speak about Murrica though.
>>
>>94957159
As I said, read about what I said. You have wrong impressions on Heaven and Hell, Its about being perfectly Good, like our Father is and become more and more Godlike. Not about Gardens and pitchforks.
This is not the point that "no one is egoistic". Thats just idiotic. Yes everyone is egoistic, because we are not hivemind, but individuals, created in the image and likeness of God and we strive to happiness. But there is a difference between carnal, temporal happiness and eternal happiness. One must choose eternal, that is to become more Godlike: Loving and righteous.
>Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
>>
>>94957369
And being perfect also means to suffer for love, as God suffered for us.
So its both egoistic and selfless at the same time. Its a paradox
>>
>>94956060
>let a whole bunch of them
If you're an American, this is basically a non-worry because we vet both refugees and regular immigrants. It's not perfect, but it cuts out a lot of the issues that you see going on in Europe
>>
>>94957369
why become more godlike though? For what purpose does this serve? Why do you need god in this equation at all? Why not remove the mysticism and teach people to be moral and ethical through things like sympathy and empathy instead of strange abstract concepts like becoming more godlike? Why not treat people well for the reason that it is how you would want to be treated rather than doing so because you wish to be shaped in the image of your heavenly creator? The latter sounds infinitely more sociopathic and egoistic than the former
>>
>>94957593
You gotta have a standard.
>>
>>94957658
My standard is treating human beings the way I want to be treated. I do not kill, steal, or commit any act which would harm another person unless in self defense. I do this because not only do I understand what it feels like to be hurt and do not wish this upon innocents, but i also fear consequence from the law. Nowhere in this is god needed.
>>
>>94957681

My parents. They are not religious at all. If you want to keep going back and back, yes at some point my ancestors were most likely religious, however the proof is right in front of you. I am a moral law abiding citizen who does not harm or steal anything or anyone. You clearly do not need religion to be moral.
