Did imageboards ever bring you closer to God?
No, they incite you to idleness and other sins.
>>6044 Idleness is only a sin, if it’s laziness. Idleness in the sense of contemplation is even encouraged.
I guess. Many things I incorporated into my worldview, I initially discovered on these sorts of places.
>>6067 Can you name some examples?
>>6049 Smart and interesting American Bernds is the one thing this imageboard lacks the most.
>>6067 A recent one that comes to mind is this thing. I used to think of biological race as something shaped through millennia of natural selection (meaning, practically immutable for all intents and purposes) but whoop de doo, that's wrong. Simply selecting breeding partners according to good behavior changes the entire morphology of an animal, and it happens in the span of just few generations. Morphological traits become gentler, playfulness continues in adulthood, new coloration appears. I now believe race is malleable, and the same goes for human beings.
Yes very much so, but not in a good way.

Not really. It did--together with internet in general--shift my attitude towards religion, however. I went from fedora-type atheism in my early teens to having a utilitarian attitude towards it in my early twenties, in the sense that while I didn't believe any of it, I considered religion a net-positive that society needed more of. Now I've settled in the middle where I still retain respect for genuine devotion and commitment to the faith, while also taking a far more pessimistic view of religion's viability in the face of turbo-modernity. This reassessment had been driven both by the overall decreasing religiosity across the globe as well as the way it manifests in the younger cohorts that still claim adherence to it. In particular, I've developed intense disdain for people feigning belief in transparent service of some other idol or motivation of theirs. Typically personal gain, self-discipline, partaking in a "community", laundering their own psychosexual complexes, or some flavor of political ideology (whether left or right). At least on the internet, it became obvious that pretentious LARPers and nominal adherents (e.g. "cultural" Christians) far outnumbers true believers. This in turn convinced me that I overestimated the societal utility of religion in the absence of regressing to a more primitive mode of living such as the Amish or Haredim, and I do not consider either to be a preferable alternative to modern living despite all of its ills.
>>6077 Those two views are not mutually exclusive. Evolution is something that occurs over long time spans through natural selection but there are also events that can force quick changes, such as humans selectively breeding for things as in your video or in catastrophic events or diseases such as if a disease were to wipe out all members of a population aside from those with a rare gene.
No. It would put me off the supernatural if anything. I actually like reading about the supernatural and magic and mythology and such but when it's brought up on image boards it's ridiculous. Instead of discussing old grimoires and such they discuss various forms of silly modern nonsense such as Wicca which is made up or things like Tulpa and the Astral plane which are just self induced schizophrenia.
>>6254 What do you mean by supernatural?
>>6043 I really dont give a crap but I'm fascinated about the lore. Like, IRL religion is nothing else than looking up Warhammer lore or something. Also religion always has a context why it was written, which lessons it offered, and who was in charge when it was written. Taking it literally is embarassing to me, but I respect the teachings and how people should be a community. I prefer self reflection instead of self pity though. If god exists and he gave me all those chances for a better life without working for it (and they happened), then I'm the idiot for not grabbing them. Blaming a higher power for your non-relevant drunk loser life is utterly stupid (that goes for religion, economy and politics). Noone is to blame for 5 generations of unemployment and incest but your failure ancestors.
Also gods and mythology.

>>6111 Animals becoming gentler both in character and in appearance by just selecting for behavior? Dunno mang, makes me think there is a definite "direction" to reality, if you will. >>6253 Yeah, I don't disagree with that.
