Spiritual emptiness and the fear of death

[Freixel]

The problem is atheism (injected into our dark, satanic, post-spiritual 21st-century society). If you manage to reverse the scientistic atheist education we all absorbed as children and become a true believer (of whatever religion you want), you've already hacked the system. Those feelings will gradually disappear as faith grows.

I once read somewhere that religious thoughts activate the right side of the brain, and that in today's hyper-rationalist civilization we focus 99% of our energy on the left hemisphere, hence all the emotional problems people have.

Becoming more religious would activate your right hemisphere even more.

I'm talking about any belief, which in turn can be fueled by occult, esoteric, and metaphysical knowledge. In any case, being an atheist is a mistake and only leads to a state of emptiness and suffering.

I agree. Religious people tend to fair much better, psychologically speaking, compared to non religious ones. The only issue is to try to believe when you can’t as you can’t force yourself.

So we should be religious because it makes us happy?

atheism paints a very bleak picture of our reality and has played a significant role in worsening the societal decay we are witnessing today. people accepting that there is no god just encourages them to become antisocial and disregard others. bad news if you're a subhuman/easy target. either way religion is a good cope if you're afraid you'll wind up living a life of suffering for nothing in return, which is what gaytheism posits. unnerving. not a good alternative tbh

The answer is do not be religious and religion is demonic to be honest.Every world religion has a demon as it's true leader .

There is a God though and that God took on human flesh and died on an execution stake and then rose from the dear 2000 years ago to pay the price for our sins.

You can read all about it in a Book called the Bible .

The early Christians were called "atheos" by the Romans.
