No you won't. Once you jerk to tranny porn you are gay forever. I watch a lot of porn and I have not jerked off to tranny porn yet.

Then you must’ve never suffered porn addiction. If you addicted to porn you’ll become desensitized to regular straight porn and look for more extreme things like BDSM or in my case, tranny porn. Then you’ll get tired of tranny porn and then move on to another category.

No I'm def addicted to porn, just not gay shit like traps and trannies. I do watch BDSM. Busted a fat nut to one of those kink videos, they are the best. Porn scenes flash in my head throughout my day. I think I have more time watching porn than regular media tbh lol.

 

[Gyros_Pretcel]

I wish.

I plan to try to look into atheist satanism or LARP a pagan religion though.

Religion provides its adherents with false consolation. It is all wishful thinking predicated on dogmatic nonsense that isn't empirically testable or logically comprehensible. Furthermore, organized religion is essentially a corporation which is primarily in the business of taking money from ignorant, desperate and incredulous people who are searching for something to believe in.

All religion is false consolation? That's a very broad statement. I'd say it's more real than all the fake immortality spouting copelords whom you'll hear saying things like muh nation, muh race, muh kids, muh genetic line, or muh monuments.

I agree with this though, at least in general.

Faith in the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is the only reason I have not committed suicide. I have Christian Love for myself.

It is the highest of copes.

How is a system of beliefs real in any tangible way? If believing in something were to make it real then I will concede the point but that is not the nature of reality. Religion is just a poor attempt at interpreting a world which pre-modern peoples could only comprehend by appealing to superstition and metaphysical nonsense. Philosophy has since replaced and superseded religious thinking and in my estimation the dichotomy between Athens and Jerusalem is representative of truth versus self-deception.

Well, I could say that it's just as real as the monitor that I'm looking at. It's not the physical objects that are real to the individual, it's the simulation of them which tangibly exists, a very complex topic actually. You perceive the world but who are you? The "I" is an abstract and undefined construct, it's something imperceivable, formless, and essentially nonexistent looking through a mask. There are many books on the topic that I could recommend, but the point is that the world you know only exists to you. The nature of reality is exclusive to the individual perceiving it.

Do you mean to imply that the two aren't linked? I'm not very interested in belief, only self discovery. You make it sound as if religion is somehow only a codified and dogmatic entity used to impose societal standards and patterns of behavior. It can be that too, but that's not the type I'm interested in trying to defend. Although admittedly, I'd rather live in a traditional society by far, as opposed to the modern one which we're living in.

Yes well the nature of reality is inherently subjective so of course it is going to be modulated by how you perceive it and through which particular lens it appears. My point about religion is that in the main, it asserts baseless, unprovable and non-falsifiable claims that are intended to add authenticity and veracity to the substance of its teachings. It's also internally inconsistent and self-contradictory. There are three possibilities with religion in general; either all of it is true, none of it is true or only one of it is true. The first is impossible, the second is at least plausible while the third is beyond ridiculous and could not be tested either way.

I'm talking about religion in the traditional and conventional sense of the term, as in organized religion. I think this is a semantic difference here because you seem to be implying that you subscribe to a more esoteric and personal religion or even some type of mysticism. If you have personal beliefs that are predicated on supernatural assumptions and they happen to give you consolation or validation, then thats fine, just don't ask me to subscribe to any of that. Also, I have conceded before in different arguments that while I have a strong personal aversion for religion on empirical and logical grounds, it is an indispensable mechanism for social control and its absence in any culture usually precipitates the worst kinds of moral depredations. But this is a divergent argument which digresses from the first.

Ah I think I see what you're getting at now, I could make pretty much the same summary of organized religion as you have, at least in every conventional case. We're not that far off from each other, my only gripe with your original statement was that I felt it was too broad a claim, but now I see what you're saying.

 

[ICanOnlyFapToBDSM]

religion is low iq if you know anything about history or politics

Fair enough man. I am an atheist but paradoxically I think that religion and especially organized religion has indispensable social utility. The fact of the matter is that most people are too intrinsically immoral and predisposed to pursue their own instinctual desires to be permitted to formulate their own personal moral and ethical orientation. That is the function the religion does serve; it inhibits the kind of hedonism and selfishness which have degenerated western society since the post-enlightenment era. My personal assessment of religion is that it is implausible in the highest degree and un-testable in its claims.
