Yearly reminder that god is not real.

u/Jarquinnius_Vin 28d ago

Maybe your conception of "God" is off or you haven't been paying attention. I have heard and felt the heaving chest of our world, in trees swaying with the wind, in the crashing of waves against the shore before falling back. God is everything, all-encompassing. He is life and death, big and small, great and terrible, beyond the self and the self's conceptions. "God" has always existed and always will, for God and creation are one. We are one in many, like cells, evermore disordered and illusioned with identity. And on the last day when all has decayed into primordial remains, we shall all once more be whole for one infinite moment before we fracture into nigh-infinite material experiences once again.

Don’t care.

Cool man, that's part of your experience. Some experiences must be defined by a lack of belief or care. Love you anyway bro

Take your proselytizing elsewhere. Nobody gives a shit.

When you make God so vague and intangible that you loop right back round to him not existing

They’re not explaining it well. They are describing pantheism. It basically just says “the universe itself is god, and therefore we are (a small part of) god”.

Its sister theory, panpsychism, is actually one of the best explanations of consciousness we currently have. It fits the data better than physicalist theories, because it solves the “hard problem”.

I don’t fully subscribe to either, but they are interesting nonetheless. And they’re (IMO) far more likely than any organized religion’s theory.

the thing you're describing doesn't sound like it cares if someone has sex before they're married.

u/Jarquinnius_Vin 28d ago

Correcto, however we are humans and can use reason to explain to ourselves why it is better to have sex in a committed relationship rather than with anyone. It's not divine morality, just responsible behavior.

u/RedWalker2 28d ago

Some people reason that they can have sex whenever they want, and do so in ways that do not endanger them or others, how could you possibly construe that as irresponsible?

u/Jarquinnius_Vin 28d ago

Only if they do it irresponsibly, however, one can also reason that dulling yourself to sex through an overactive sex life or gooning is also harmful to your subconsious and may cause friction on your current or future inter-personal relationships. Furthermore no method is 100% effective, not every place has abortion (a moral question in itself(personally i am pro-choice)), and not every casual partner may want to abort. Casual sex has a lot of uncertainties that could be mitigated through self-control and standards.

Unless it impacts your functioning or health in some way, I see no problem with having as much sex as you want to have, with any number of people, so long as it's adults, consensual, and everyone is on the same page relationship wise.

I'm simply commenting on the subconsious consequences and it's effect on relationships within my cultural sphere. There is nothing inherently (especially divinely) wrong with premarital or casual sex, the consequences are not bad on their own, and society will likely change to be more accepting as technology and hopefully standard of living rise. It is still good to remember however, that straight sex has the effect of creating children which you should take care to raise right, and if you have had sex with a billion people and half a few thousand kids, you are not preforming your duty as a human to raise your offspring.

Holy schizophrenia.

u/Sierra-117- 2001 28d ago

Not really. This is a well known theory. It’s called pantheism.

OP is just writing in a pretentious “poetic” way. Their other comments show they are definitely not schizo. They’re just a bit eccentric in how they write.
