Brevity is the soul of wit.

[–] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 52 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That's a different joke, now.

Also removes the joke of the kid having more complex thoughts.

But now it's not a sendup of the Watchmaker's Paradox.

"your joke but worse"

Thanks. It was indeed absurdly verbose. These clowns who downvote you suffer from 2 tinfoil ears.

Me? Me, specifically‽ He cared, it's so sweet ❤️

I mean, have you read the tenets of Satanism? Pretty darn convincing. Call me a devil's advocate.

I think you first need to pass the Satanic bar exam to call yourself a devil’s advocate

The difference when a cult grounds on logic and reasoning instead of on an ancient high-fantasy-book which makes no sense from beginning to end. But was probably a cool read some centuries ago. Still, admittedly, the greatest way to control the sheeples and keep them in line.

If I'd be forced at gunpoint to choose a religion, I'd pick them. Or buddhists.

Buddhists get a little murdery sometimes too.

I know, i know. But of all the misogynistic, supressive silly retrograde murder-cults, those are the least misogynistic, supressive silly retrograde murder-cults. At least they have some actual wisdom to share, not stories about a whole incest-species with a base-gene-pool of an estimated two people of which one even was made out of the first one.

Long story short: Yes. Fuck them too. Just a lil less.

I might be missing something here but how do we know precisely what 4bil. years of random mutations looks like?
