Yep, but we have tool for trying to understand it. It's called scientific method, and it has so far been able to help us understand the mechanics of the universe without resorting to crazy claims such as "yeah must have been super powered aliens", which is the only offer from religion.
I do get that there's a chance that it's all bogus, and that there really is or was a god that created everything in a way we have been able to measure it, but why exactly should I believe it? Which story should I believe? 'In this world of a million religions everyone prays the same way', the same human made stories written over centuries trying to explain the world around us. In this context religion seems nothing more than a predecessor to scientific method turned into crowd control tool.
Growing up in religious circles I kinda learned that there's no good in religion. Surely there's good religious people, but they spread the evil word the same as those who want to bring the oppressive shit onto others.
Religion has never been good for anything but for controlling masses
Yeah man something about Russell's tea pot
We have no evidence for gods, that's it. There's no need to provide evidence for absence of god, the burden of proof belongs to the person who makes the claim (that there's a god/gods).
No one was brave enough to say it aloud.
Generally, in work I try to give the benefit of doubt in situations like this - I don't want to be the one explaining sounding when someone uses the term about something else
Okay I might have misunderstood your intentions, but you posting a picture of his son making faces while he's giving some speech or whatever kinda felt like you're on "haha look at this stupid kid"
No, it was supposed to be a single movie, "Star Wars", but due to the success of it they started working on further movies.

Took me way too long to understand what you meant by this
Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masturbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masturbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW.
Didn't grindr have recently some shit that they were selling the confidential user data forward?
The last one is completely reasonable. "We have had so much problems with this platform that we decided it's not worth using time on"
Guess I've gotten used to them. At the beginning I'd just rip the cap off anyways, but now somehow managing though I do buy this sorta bottles rather rarely nowadays.
ANYWAYS I don't understand why so many products come in plastic bottles, or carton box with a fucking plastic cap. Aluminum cans are great, cartons are great, glass bottles are great. Why plastic???
My daughter is a stick enthuasiast
Hello fellow lemmings,
I'm glad to have discovered this magnificent sub community, and it made me think of a recent hike with my little spawn. During the rather long for her, 2 hourish and 4000 step hike, she kept collecting sticks from the ground and regularly dropping the least favorite ones to make more space in her little hands.
I'm not sure where I'm going with this story, but just wanted to say hello and I'm glad this community exists. I hope you'll stick around (badum-tss)

A post on Ask Lemmygrad by user Cyber Ghost titled "What are the reasons why Russia attacked Ukraine?"
Below is the comment by user @cfgaussian reading: "The Nazi Kiev regime attacked the ethnically Russian Donbass for eight years intending to commit genocide in their quest for an ethnically pure Ukraine and Russia finally came to their aid after it became clear that the Minsk agreements were never going to be honored. Also, NATO was turning Ukraine into a hyper militarized threat to the integrity and security of Russia itself. Refusal of the US and Europe to negotiate on a new inclusive security framework, refusal to stop NATO expansion eastward, and the relentless and violent anti-Russian psychosis that has gripped Ukraine since the Maiden coup that triggered a civil war in a country in which half or more of the population are essentially Russian became intolerable."
User Summertime Soviet has replied to the comment saying "It's a shame we can't pin comments on posts, because this one would get a pin from me.
so instead, have this Farmer_Heck seal of approval"
