>agnostic
>athiest beliefs and hate people believing in God.
No bro. You a straight up athiest... and probably 12.

Why don't you ask in one of those hundred DFW threads that are already here and have to make another one?

>>2373637

Did you ever post something relevant? Complete lack of personality.

>>2373649
so empty inside, has noone irl, so he has to tripfag

>>2373649
I was first one to announce the split of Tao Lin and Megan Boyle back in November.

I posted nudes

I once had sex with Courtney Love for a bet

I touched a boob once, like in 8th grade.

I invented tylenol in the 50s.

Ben and Jerry are naming an Ice Cream after me.

The more you call me out the more retarded I'll get. :3

>>2373657

so you admit you are already retarded

>>2373664
My care worker says that's not a nice word to use and you should be ashamed. Shame on you! Shame on you! Shame on you!

>>2373664
Protip: ignore idiots with trips.

bump no one yet?

/lit/ sucks so much these past few days, I don't know what's going on. It's like a slow raid of retards.

You let your prejudices guide your reading habits, anon?

Surely, you have no wisdom.

>>2373821

Ahahaha, what about all the people here who won't read OSC because although they like his stuff, he's a homophobe and bigot?

No one replied?
So was he an atheist or not?

>>2373814
i'm pretty sure that's what it is

happens sometimes, man, who even knows what the fuck

just wait a couple days, she'll be right

>>2375719
>So was he an atheist or not?
He belonged to a church wherever he lived, but his beliefs were probably not traditional.

>>2375734
Thanks dude, you always reply to my philosophy and DFW questions. You're the greatest.

Bumping

>Was David Foster Wallace aka DFW religious? I would be disappointed in that case, because I myself am a proud agnostic with atheistic beliefs and can't take anyone who believes in God seriously.

Nothing to see here, folks.

>>2375923
He wasn't trolling you fucking retard. I also can't find crazy bible clutching christians seriously.

Yeah, he went to church regularly.

>can't take anyone who believes in God seriously.
And there's your issue. Religious/deity beliefs =/= intelligence level. There is no correlation between belief in God and how smart a person is or the value in something they write. Only when it affects what they do/say on a constant basis can you say this.

>>2376625
>Religious/deity beliefs =/= intelligence level
Wrong.

>>2376963

I'd say Flanney O'Connor was an exception. Though her beliefs guided her to believe the world was a sick, twisted place which is actually true. I appreciate how she approached religious view points in her writing. What I don't appreciate is having a character's problems solved by an invisible man in the sky.

>>2376963
>Implying correlation proves causation
You also have no sources for those statistics. Oh wait... I forgot this was the internet.

>>2376963
This has got to be the most retarded pic I've ever seen. And I've seen my fair share of retardedness in my time.

>>2377249
you don't BELIEVE in science?
I certainly do. OUR LORD AND SAVIOR, DAWKINS!

>>2376963
> Negros

Clearly, this study was well conducted.

>can't take anyone who believes in God seriously

OP confirmed for new atheist cunt.

>atheistic belief

What the fuck am I reading?

You know, I used to call myself an atheist. Now I just call myself non-religious, just to avoid being associated with cunts like OP. I don't respect religion, especially organized religion, but you shouldn't judge people for being spiritual. Unless they're fundies/creationists

>>2377326
Why don't you head on back to the dark ages, where we would be without the catholic church to promote science and reason?

>>2376963
what the fuck is this

>>2377330

The dark ages is a very offensive label. If you study the cultural output of the time, it was anything but. Hell, even "middle ages" is a bit unfair.

>>2376963
>implying the term "negros" is still considered PC enough to be used in a statistical chart
>implying that many east asians aren't buddhist/taoist/christian(south korea)
>implying faith correlates with iq when people actually just believe whatever they were brought up to

>>2378467
Yeah, it's a troll image.
Everyone knew that.

I got it from Varg's website, you daft fucking cunts. DO you still think it's fake?

lol @ d&e thinking hes a badass when i could kick the shit out of him

>>2379047
>>>/b/ or wherever you came from.

>>2378610

Good DFW thread, deserves a good bump.

>>2378610
>>2378610
Varg's website, haha, very reliable.
If we're talking about the same Varg, then you took that off racist's website. He's a neo-nazi. So faked statistics are faked.

>>2378610
>got it from Varg's website
>do you still think its fake

Do you even have to ask?

>>2379047
He's got a pretty ripped bod if you've ever seen it

>>2378610
isn't he a goddamn pagan?
whats this shit about believing in "science" ?

Who is this Varg person you're all talking about?

>>2381613
some musician. all you really need to know.

its the only significant thing about him.

>>2381620
isnt he also that guy who set fire to a church? sounds like a reasonable, thoughtful man.

>>2381623
He killed a man.

>>2381620

>>2381629
Oh lol, these comments.

Varg Vikernes (Norwegian pronunciation: [ˈʋɑrɡ ˈʋiːkəɳeːs]; born 11 February 1973) is a Norwegian black metal musician, arsonist and convicted murderer. After his conviction, Vikernes began identifying himself as a neo-Nazi.
In 1994, Vikernes was convicted of the murder of his Mayhem bandmate Øystein Aarseth, known by his stage name Euronymous. Vikernes was further convicted of four counts of arson involving the burnings of historic churches, and was sentenced to 21 years in prison. Having served almost 16 years of his sentence, Vikernes was released on parole in early 2009.
In October 2003, Vikernes failed to return to his low-security prison in Tønsberg, Norway after having been granted a short leave. He was found riding in a stolen Volvo car, which, according to the media, contained an unloaded AG3 automatic rifle, a handgun, numerous large knives, a gas mask, camouflage clothing, a laptop, a compass, a GPS device, various maps and a fake passport (it is thought that Vikernes came to be in possession of this equipment by means of a military barracks). For this thirteen months were added to his sentence, and he was then moved to a maximum-security prison in Trondheim.

sieg heil!

I just realized Varg released a new book.

I really love Varg's philosophy.

>>2381704
Damn, this comic is fucking solid. Is there a site with all its variations or something?

>can't take anyone who believes in God seriously.

/thread

>>2381730
einstein believed in god

Why should I read this man's novels? His style appears to be abstruse for the sake of it, not to mention needlessly longwinded.

Dickens at least had the excuse of being paid by the word.

>>2381749

10/10

>>2381730
he's real

>>2381763
would be funny if its real but it isnt

>>2381749
You know Spinoza right? Don't bend quotes to your own will!

OT: If you can't take anyone who believes in God seriously, then why do you even care reading if you can't stand other peoples' thoughts?

>>2381613
Shitt musician with even shittier believes. More famous for stabbing and killing a man than for his music. Also a neo-nazi.

>>2381763
>hating on beiber
I seriously can't stand these people. I don;t like him but seriously you're not cool just because you tell everyone you ahte him. I bet you fucking told everyone how unemo you were

>invented 360
This isn't a good thing.
Enjoy your being hacked and MS not doing shit about it,

bump

because bump

>>2381704
It's actually true, Varg is the only philosopher worth reading today.

>>2384110
What about DFW's philosophy? He majored in philosophy and used to teach philosophy at school.

>mfw implying that atheism is a touchstone of true science

I don't know what's wrong with you people. Why so much rage? Do you really think that people who believe in the forbidden fruit and shit like that can be really smart?
