There would be no religious wars, honor killings, more freedom, no religious leaders abusing their powers, no waste of labor and money on religious things, etc. It may seem that we would be more educated and have better understanding.

Removing the word religion from this excerpt wouldn’t remove any of these problems. We would still squabble over territory, resources, and ideological differences. To give a non-religious analogy: if a time traveler went back and killed Hitler, Germany would still retain all the problems from WW1 and the Weimar Republic that were ripe for a dictatorship.

What’s really crazy is when you spend a ton of time editing an image because you think the idea is funny and the post goes nowhere. Then you repost some bullshit and it makes front page.

The community seems split on this one lol. Makes me think that some of the people who subscribed to this community literally don’t know what a greentext is. Which is nothing new; I made this months ago:

Personally, it takes the fun out of creating OC because I like making edgier memes but there’s no community for it here. And even if something does make people laugh and get upvoted, the mods will take it down. (For example, I made a meme about a pregnant alcoholic mother and it got taken down. Like really? We can’t make abortion jokes?) So fuck it, I mainly just repost now. If you can’t beat em join em.

My experience has been the opposite. Lemmings take everything too seriously.

I thought Hilary and Hunter Biden

Yeah, my dad would disown me again if I sent him this

Seriously, why did OP post this two weeks ahead of time

Lotta BIG QWERTY’s on Lemmy

edit: I thought you were using ‘QWERTY’ as a pejorative term for ‘know-it-all’. Turns out you actually mean the keyboard.

Bookpilled. If you’re into science fiction books, he’s a great YouTuber to check out.

edit: Also, he does extra videos on his Patreon. But if you don’t like him try Outlaw Bookseller and Media Death Cult.

The average voter pays zero attention to politics but has very strong opinions about what a politician has or hasn’t done.

This only proves that the ideal relationship is one without the compilations of sex. Checkmate natalists.

I really hate text articles that end up being a podcast. Feels like a bait and switch.

Great ideas. Too bad our politicians don’t listen to us.

Took forever to find out, but, “Daisy” on backroomcasting.

Well I suppose it depends on your views of consciousness. Some would argue that our consciousness is nothing more than an emergent phenomenon grounded on the electrical impulses of our neurons. Personally, I’m convinced that the phenomenon need not be physical. It should be possible, with enough computing power, to model the same interactions. But I admit that if you reject this possibility, then the simulation hypothesis loses credence.
