If you’re born poor, there is no good reason to keep living. Life for anyone who isn’t rich in the post-God world is nothing but incessant struggle without any purpose. You can’t even enjoy the journey towards nothingness because you’re too concerned with survival. You’re deprived of the great sensory pleasures derived from travelling the world with no concerns or living in a highly comfortable house to temporarily fill the void. All you have is sex, and if you’re unattractive, then you have nothing. Intellectual pursuits may fill your time if you’re a NEET who lives with your poor parents, but only for some time until life becomes unbearable again

>post-God world

Just because the world tells you to abandon the relationship with God does not mean you ought not have one, your emptiness is your own doing, there is no such thing as too civilized or too advanced for God; the arguments against deity work equally well against all origins of reality including the materialist, if you’re hungry for God stop wallowing in the filth and go to God.

Being rich kind of has its downsides. Take Bill Gates for instance. He can pretty much do whatever he wants mostly within the confines of the law but his #MeToo showed that even despite all of his money he frequently struck out with women he wanted to be with.

No matter what he does, he’s still a clenched jaw, khaki wearing, emasculated loser with a stick up his ass. He will always be a weird cowardly loser that no woman would want to fuck if it weren’t for his money. He has to live with that. Being rich also enslaves you in some ways. Read the Flivver King by Upton Sinclair.

I’m not trying to be a sour grapes type guy because of course I want bill gates money but to me it would be more exiting to be like an adventurer like Byron. What does bill gates have to look forward to besides dying? Depopulating the third world?

But jokes aside I’m a literal gypsy, economic stress is not an argument when many men Have been killed for their beliefs, facing poverty both voluntary and involuntary, so not pretend it is poverty which obscures God from you, if you seek God you will find God.

You don’t understand what he means by “post-God world”.
He means that there is no god and no afterlife, this is all there is and if you’re a loser in this life you won’t get a better life on the other side because there’s nothing on the other side. Religion is a cope and it has been refuted by science. Basically the typical atheist fedora argument.

Literally just stop and look at the world
I actually do not understand how ANYONE can not believe in God, when it is so clearly obvious that He exists. One can, reasonably, doubt that Christianity is exactly true. Or very specific aspects of religious morality. But reality literally makes no sense if you believe there is no creator deity. Humanity developed on a planet with abundant food and biodiversity. It also developed on a planet with the perfectly level of gravity to allow exit into orbit (which is exceedingly rare). Human life also, somehow, possesses a form of consciousness, a thing totally unprecedented as far as we can tell in the entire span of existence. It is a thing so utterly and completely bizarre that it demands an explanation, a force, capable of causing such a thing by means beyond what we can possibly know. And the best counterargument achievable by opponents is "Well this does not prove God exists". Which is fair, because it is essentially impossible to categorically prove something like God, but you also cannot prove other human beings are conscious and sentient, or that Hume was wrong when he said one day you could throw a rock at a window and it magically turns into a vase of flowers with no explanation. These things are taken to be true because reality is simply nonsense without them even if they are effectively axiomatic. And likewise, reality without God is simply nonsense. None of it makes sense.

That doesn't make believing in God a cope or a way of filling in the gaps. Those gaps will never be filled. They simply can't be. There's no way of doing so. God is the missing piece in reality.

Everything else is simply an answer to this question: "If God didn't have certain morals in mind, if He didn't believe certain ways of life would be right to live, then why is it that stable and happy societies generally look very similar?" Monogamy, for example, seems to be inherently stabilizing and conducive to human happiness, even though it's contrary to evolutionary and biological pressures to maximize male genetic dissemination. Why would that be the case if there weren't some force that had shaped human psychology to crave monogamy even when evolutionary pressure should demand polygyny?

No deity will ever make sense - we exist by happenstance and self-selected bootstrapping. Our lives are brief and devoid of meaning (rekt threads on /gif/ illustrate this point). We wink out of existence having never existed at all. This is the case for everyone and everything, our species just happens to wish it wasn't so.
