I disagree and I don’t think you got it, but I updoot for good faith, some fair points, wit and humour. I’ll always drink to that. ;)

Heresy! Where are the turtles? It’s turtles all the way down.

Hmmm. Upvote or downvote? You make solid points. You are defending a position in good faith. Yet “mental disorder”?

Your mentality and eagerness to stake a position and defend the bastion hurts as much as helps.

catholic sins were only defined later

You are making an artificial distinction. Catholicism can be, but shouldn’t be viewed as a thing with a start. It’s part of a continuum. Judaism>Christianity>Islam. Catholic sins weren’t defined later. Like all culture, they evolved from earlier sins. Even calling them Abrahamic Religions as we do is making the same error. The tradition didn’t just emerge, it evolved from predecessors and it has descendants.

natural law is the law of nature, that exists and has nothing to do with religious nonsense but instinct, which originated from evolution.

Aside from the above linking culture, specifically religion to evolution in a real tangible way, please consider that natural selection over time takes random mutations and selects for reproductive fitness. It doesn’t care about what is “good” it only cares about what is most advantageous until new offspring can extend the continuity. We tend to think of this in terms of physiological of biochemical traits, but that’s a narrow view too. Our minds are a product of evolution. Our thinking is a product of our minds.

“Sin” is just part of a evolutionary cultural continuum that started somewhere in the roots of cognition where “actions>consequences” evolved and branched into “sin” and “karma”.

Creatures with evolved complex cognition need their complex social constructs to evolve to survive as well. They become condensed, efficient, easily axiomized artifacts like “the golden rule”, “religion”, philosophy, ethics, morality. All part of a continuum where divergence, convergence and speciation occur.

Religious and atheists are seperate cognitive sub-species who can choose to compete, fall into a predator-prey relationship (e.g. inquisition or communist religious purge) or we can coexist in our respective niches or, like all the best stuff in nature, become symbiotic and make the system better for all.

In short, not Religion vs Evolution. Religion as evolution. 😉👉

Capitalists say the system is working as it should. The poor are civilization’s crumple zone and air bags. They get destroyed in the event of a crash to protect the (rich) drivers.

Be grateful they are incompetent.

Some people just suck the joy out of everything. ;)

We’ll always have each other.

Which is hillarious because I’ve been kicked out of Karaoke bars for laughing too hard at my own rendition of Islands in the stream by Dolly Parton with my drunk buddy as Kenny Rogers. It was magical and hillarious. I am a respectable Karaoke singer drunk or sober.

Karaoke bars are often polluted with a pestillence of people who think they are undiscovered musical geniuses who are minutes away from being discovered by a record label executive trolling the depths of karaoke shitholes looking for the next great pop-star. Anything that fucks with their discoverability makes them go coocoo.

Not really. Ground meats with shit in them with casings (sausage) will cook roughly the same as other ground meats with shit in them without casings. (Patties) Very similar.

That’s what all the fatties say. I’m JuSt BiG BoNed! Source: Am fatty.

In true shitpost fashion, I make shit up as I go. I was too lazy to do any real research. I’m too lazy to verify your shitpost isn’t doing the same thing. Either way, ponder this:

It’s a partial truth. It’s what makes storytelling villains great. If they didn’t have an ostensibly plausible reason for being evil, villainy looks cheap and painted on. What is Thanos without his half-truth sustainability philosophy and ethics? What is Smith without this speech?

Link? He had many monologues on truthiness.

Poll: Anyone ever have hipsters in their highschool go through a bowling shoe phase?

Upvote = yes Downvote = no

Edit: By early poling numbers, I can’t tell if it was only a thing in my highschool, or if people who wear bowling shoes casually, yet ironically or even post-ironically, just haven’t come to terms with the fact that they are indeed hipsters.

Baseball?

Edit: *Gasp. Downvote!?! Very well:
