>they're smarter too
>how many powerful artists have come out of the furry fandom vs the jesus fandom?
>even furry music is better

after thinking about it, nothing quite has the transformative power of religion, for free anyways, even if it is at the cost of your capacity for thinking for yourself. which is something an artist should never lose.

but i guess my actual argument is a human being can overcome existential dread without the belief in a god.

and i don' agree with stoicism. an artist shouldn't be indifferent to injustice or beauty or their emotions. there's better beliefs: humanism, romanticism, absurdism... the things that teach you to get back up n' why.

im not too keen on fighting about whether god is real or not. its .. . more than that . . . and its not like i hate the bible or something. i just think people take religion too literal. i read this book called the bible as a dream by murray stein, its a really interesting interpretation of the bible. u can rly tell it was just some shit written by some wise old men , the original meaning of everything has been buried.

its more than just having people around... its about understanding your place in the world. why we feel the things we do, why things happen the way they do. learning how most people are just misguided . shit like that...

religion , at face value, teaches you to erase all doubt and just trust in something outside of yourself
but its not look towards god, its find god within
you are not overcoming this by yourself, because you are not alone in your struggle
im tellin ya, the ancient greeks figured this living shit out long ago
