It’s showing that people are more willing to accept misinformation when they don’t have personal experience.

Hello! Congrats on the dishwasher and good luck on your quest to become the “you” that you want to be! It’s funny how honesty is essentially a superpower. It doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want, but it’s the thing you can always fall back on and push forward with.

The “rightymemes” version of this is a kid asking Miles Morales why he’s brown and having text below that says

“Because, I'm a psychological tool. By creating the image of a brown Spider-Man this subliminally engrains the myth of brown superiority into the subconscious minds of white people. This makes you people more compliant with our brown dominance over your lives.”

The circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant. It is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are.

It’s one thing to make an observation of how Jesus’s “image” has been adopted by different ethnicities, but when the official lore is that all humans are made in the image of God I think there are more productive ways to approach the topic of the societal impact of whitewashing.

I guess it’s the difference between saying “fictional white characters/heroes are bad because they reinforce white supremacy” vs asking “how foolish is it to look at a painting and try to judge which color of paint is ‘best’?”

How to kill God? (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 months ago by RadicalEagle to c/atheism
 

Anyone have any ideas on how to kill God? I was thinking a out it and I think for a lot of people "God" is just this undefined "thing" out there that they can attribute other things to.

Like imagine a caveman kid talking to their caveman parent and asking questions like "Why is there a day and a night? Why is sky blue? Why is dog died?"

And the caveman parent just makes something up.

When people don't know the cause of something, they can create a cause out of their imagination.

God will always be lurking in the imaginations of stupid people, and we will always have stupid people on this planet.

For a while this scared me because I'm a stupid person with an imagination, so I knew the idea of "God" will stay with me till I die (since I can't think about anything when I die).

So I think the only way to kill God is if everyone dies. But even then it's a gamble because there's a whole "if a tree falls in a forest?" aspect.

Anyone else have any ideas?

 

What if there were voice chat channels you could join in a thread to discuss posts? The idea would be to give people a richer way of communicating instead of just typing comments and replies.

Update: I just realized what I really wanted was to have a conversation, so I'm going to get off the internet and actually go talk to people in the real world.

 

If what they believe is true, one day they may be forced to realize their mistakes.
