Blackpill Lookism-denial as a metastasis of atheism.

[Fontaine]

One very interesting thing about older literature is that the authors never minced their words when it came to depictions of superiority and inferiority.

Newspapers, novels, treatises, academic papers never shied away from very direct, sometimes rude characterizations of individuals, places, and entire nations. Open any book from the 1800s and you'll quickly understand what I mean. Describing someone as "an ugly moron living in squalor" was not considered offensive if he was, indeed, an ugly moron living in squalor.

The language of literature and journalism became ever more euphemistic, toned down and "politically correct" with time. I believe lookism denial ("looks are subjective") and fat acceptance movements are the last and logical evolution of this.

That's cool and all, but why?

The obvious explanation, to me, is the withering away of Christianity in the West. Christianity affirmed that human life is fundamentally sacred. Even if someone is "an ugly moron living in squalor", your duty as a Christian is to take care of him and love him as a fellow human being.

But without Christianity, what is the value of "an ugly moron living in squalor"? What can be the objective and social value of such a man? Pretty much close to nothing. An individual described in such a way, nowadays, would certainly develop self-esteem problems and suicidal depression.

The route atheists have taken (the wrong route imo, because it lies) is to pretend there is no such thing as ugliness or intellectual disability. That way, you can preserve the ego and apparent social value of the man. This principle applies to some extent to nearly every social justice movement you can think of.

TLDR: denying the blackpill is a metastatis of atheism. Christians of the past were more blackpilled than many of the members of this forum.

Religion is a technology. Organized religion is a set of laws and wisdom that lead to a better civilization. It promotes progressive ideas for the betterment of the collective. Without it we regress back to nature. Only now that it's gone can we notice the effect it made on society. The common mistake everyone makes now a days is pretending they know better than our ancestors. It's arrogance at its highest. People throughout history have not been some mindless npc. They have been bright, adaptive,conscious human beings that knew exactly what the fuck they were doing.

The abolishment of religion and Patriarchy IS the reason behind most of the problems in the world

I agree with the main thesis of your post. Abrahamic traditions contain all the requirements to build a civilization and to maintain one. But history tells us that every civilization declines after it has reached it's peak. But in the case of western civilization there isn't even a reminder (holy book) where civilization can turn to in order to reverse the decline. Western civilization was built on liberalism which, in the beginning of it's days was mixed with religious norm, values, traditions and morals. But with every generation, westerners became less and less religious and liberalism itself is not a coherent worldview and thus bound to fail in the long term.

With liberalism alone you cannot even build an civilization let alone maintain one for a long period.

So liberalism is the unsteady sand our societal pillars rest on. Maybe we should look into the foundation of the Han empire. They are stronger than ever.

Just because many modern atheists are often humanists doesn’t make it a fundamental tenant of atheism. Even if what you said were true that doesn’t serve as evidence for the veracity of religion, merely evidence that religion serves some utility for human stability (morally and functionally speaking) despite being factually untrue - if so religion is the ultimate bluepill because it obfuscates the true nature of reality to make humans feel better about the universe and themselves - I’d rather swallow the truth even if it hurts - that we are nothing more than soulless neuro-impulsive primates crawling over a space rock with some genetically gifted alphas who mate with the females and the lower end of the genetic spectrum bred out of the gene pool (as we see in chimpanzee, gorilla and other great ape populations).

I would burn every atheist alive if I could get away with it.

Hating your life as an incel whilst thanking/praising God for your existence makes you the ultimate cuck. Atheists are the free thinkers and the trolley blackpilled.

Christianity never asks for "praising God for your existence". It merely asks of you to not kill yourself. Christianity is extremely blackpilled about the world and about human nature. It attributes misery and inequality to the consequences of sin, including original sin (ugliness, illness and disability are consequences of Eve betraying mankind).

The happy-go-lucky idiots you sometimes see on TV or IRL have nothing to do with the true spirit of Christianity. A true Christian is an austere, severe man who tries daily to resist corruption of his soul and to help others in a world he knows to be cruel.

Atheism and secularism is the cuck ideology, letting women whore around and never have to settle for incels. In a religious, feudal society, every incel gets laid. Go now and rot alone in your secular society, dumbass.

Christianity doesn’t dictate that you thank or praise God for his existence? Read the bible or walk into any Sunday service around the country you will hear unrelenting testament to the contrary.

Secularism is just being honest with yourself and not creating a convoluted narrative about why you’re going to paradise and everyone who lives normal sexually active lives, everyone you’re jealous of, is going to helfire (seems a little too convenient to me). Also if you believe in God and don’t hate him you’re a coping cuck who deserves to be in this shitty situation. You blame God’s creations for acting within their own nature yet absolve him of blame and snivel for his approval everyday despite the fact he condemned you to genetic inferiority whilst blessing them with fulfilling pleasurable lives and STILL you worship him? That is grade A cuckoldry of the highest order.

Bump, contextual with discussion of ER's mating chances with hot blonde girls. It's taboo to say that Asian men are generally not found attractive by white women because of atheism.
