Why don't you post in the GDF? You'd probably get a lot more responses to anything related to politics or social shit.

No, that's what his poor choice of wording implies how he feels. "Being against the concept of belief" is a poor choice of words. It's like saying you're against the concept of consideration, or against the concept of repentance.

Hence: wut?

Or more that the concept of faithfulness amounts to stupidity. It's not really the same as being against consideration, imo, though. In context.

No, what he's saying is that faithfulness in practice is the true evil and that only by purging our minds of anything but stalwart skepticism and actualising that in our deeds can we achieve true heart of the cards.

Wait, or maybe he's saying that the true enemy is Faith, you know from the tv show Buffy? And that he's been opposing her from the shadows in a clandestine false-flag proxy war against her and her evil cultists and skinchanger bears.

Who's talking about faithfulness? He said he's against the concept of belief. Not religious belief, or spiritual belief, or belief in the healing power of Vegemite. Just belief. Belief as a concept is something he's opposed to.

As much as I'm against the concept of belief

That's as absurd as saying I'm against other basic human mental capabilities such as foresight, pattern recognition, empathy, or rationality. Absent context, his words were stupid. I'm aware of the preceding posts providing that context, and my sardonic response was a chastisement of his single post's apparent poor choice of wording/silly content. Which you have ruined. Thanx...

...wut?

Why do you hate context, Lucien? I agree, though, it could have been worded better.

And anyone who believes in Vegemite should be euthanized. That shit is terrible.

I wonder why anyone hates the concept of belief unless they're so insecure they need to tell themselves they're too intelligent/rational.

This is one of the funniest shorts I've seen.

BOSTON MARATHON BOMBER DZHOKHAR TSARNAEV SENTENCED TO DEATH

This movie has the greatest fight scenes of all time and it's not even close.

I tried to watch it a few months ago but it was really boring at the start and it was too late to give it enough credit to slog through that shit.

It is a pretty dull movie...

For autists who expect homestuck slapstick in their entertainment.

Amen

I meant faith by belief. Obviously, I'm not against this human capability of believing itself. 😬 Oh and I never said I hate it.

Just like the wise man(not really but he is funny) Bill Maher once said, faith is purposeful suspension of critical thinking.

Bill Maher says a lot of things, mainly stupid shit.

I disagree with most of the things he says about non-American topics. He is quite ignorant about the rest of the world but he has good observations about USA and a decent sense of humor that makes it fun to listen to him.

So, I graduated college?

Ay, congrats. 😄
