Supremely unconvincing.

Precisely why I am worried.

Regardless, I know why I feel this way, there is no mystery. There are specific people responsible. They don’t even hide it.

Ok. I am talking about how how there is a non zero chance that if I go to therapy and say the wrong thing, I lose my freedoms. And that wrong thing is completely determined by the therapist. The idea that seeking help necessitates putting my ENTIRE LIFE in the hands of someone else that I do not trust (nor the entire profession) makes my skin crawl. If I say the wrong thing, they say you are not safe to be around others, they come to collect me and not wishing to go, I become that danger to others that they were so worried about. They would create the problem they seek to avoid.

I cannot in any way trust these people making the decisions.

Just because some people say their lives were improved through the prison system, it does not justify its existance.

You could be a video game wielding thug of the state, I guess?

Respectfully to your sister but the idea of there being a 72 hour expulsion of all rights or consent because other people have decided that they know better about your own life is beyond infuriating to me.

I know, suicide makes people sad and people often regret trying it. But just straight up imprisoning people for wrongthink is the literal reason I have never even considered therapy. It is so unbelievably dangerous to me to communicate with anyone the thoughts in my head because everyone around me or in any position of power would deem it harmful to myself, and therefore I am not allowed to have agency in the world.

I’ve been having these thoughts consistently, and nonstop for 25 fucking years and could never even imagine doing anything to fix it because doing so would land me in a mental institution where I would lose my mind instantly at the loss of autonomy. I would become a feral animal ripping at throats.

Why does anyone get to determine what is acceptable for me to do with my own body?

I smile knowingly, and upvote thereby fulfilling my role in society.

Success.

Broken, or bespoke?

Wish I knew how to read mayan. That’d be badass.

You are acting like we didn’t fight megafauna to extinction with sticks.

You guys are acting like you’d love through this or come out completely in harmed. I already agreed you be mained and could die afterwards.

I get that. Maybe “most” is overstating it for humans as well. But I think you are forgetting choking the thing out. Saying its 10 feet long is misleading. There’s a lot of tail and average size is not 300lbs. That’s max. Average is like 150.

I think if you can avoid getting bit in the neck, you have a chance.

I feel like you and the meme are over estimating komodo dragons. It would probably maim you and infections could definitely kill you after but I feel like most adult humans, if in a life or death struggle, would come out on top.

Is it the god of an organized religion? Do you call yourself a believer in that religion even if you don’t “support” it?

Which God? There are thousands. Judeo Christian God? Yeah you support the degradation of society. Doesn’t matter which denomination. You want to tell me how you can have a personal connection with someone else’s hallucination?

Your belief in the organization legitimizes dangerous and corrosive beliefs. It legitimizes the power structure that oppresses. It legitimizes the act of turning off your brain. Your adherence to its rules legitimizes even it’s more rabid and extreme flanks.

You cannot participate in organized religion without harming society.

Incorrect.

But those do not include organized religions that have holy books written about ancient hallucinations.

Spiritualism is fine (generally) but it can still lead to delusional thinking. As in, verifiably false conclusions.

If you can look around at the results of allowing religions to dominate society for thousands of years and tell me that you think it’s going well, or even that we have a good chance of surviving the century as a species, then I don’t think you are a fully functioning human being.

I don’t know what the objective truth of the world is. But what I do know, is that that truth has never been ordained to earthly man by a burning fucking bush or whatever the fuck your particular religion dictates.

Arguing over interpretations of the hallucinations had by uneducated people thousands of years ago is not just pointless, it promotes a level of ignorance worship that is highly corrosive to a functioning society.

Not antisemitism. Anti theism.

Fuck all of your gods into the fucking earth.

Respectfully to you, fuck that.

I don’t hate Jews specifically, but fuck every single religious person. I am done with it. How many time do we need to see genocides or wars or just bombings that are solely motivated through religious indoctrination? You may say that they are misinterpreting the words of the Lord or whatever horseshit, but as far as I am concerned every interpretation is exactly as valid as the next because it is all make believe nonsense.

Everyone is playing pretend and then get upset when some people use that to steer the “play” into FUCKING MURDER!

MAYBE STOP PLAYING PRETEND EVERY FUCKING DAY YOU FUCKING MORONS!

If anyone says that their worldview is shaped by their religious beliefs, it is my view that they are a danger to the public should they hold public office.

Every. Single. Time. I don’t care what those beliefs are or what your motivations are. Religions are fucking toxic in every iteration.
