Lemme guess: transporter buffer, right? :-P
Ngl, but I expect there to be stupid atheists one day. I know I know but consider that right now most atheists are "first-generation", i.e. people who put in the effort to do the thinking, really decide what they want, and then stick with it. But give it a hundred years, and people will inherit that the same as any other belief system (other examples: "America is a first-world nation, and we should defend ~~Putin~~ our country to the death (by genociding anyone who disagrees with ~~me~~ me).") that is accepted unconditionally.
That thought somewhat gives me compassion: that humans are stupid. Not all, but most it seems - or at least *I* am:-P. Then again, some of us aspire to more, and question EVERYTHING, and to the extent we follow that, we have many chances to improve on a daily basis.
Unlike "religion", where often you aren't allowed to question anything at all, despite the literal, exact, and direct quote from the Bible not just casually suggesting but COMMANDING precisely that (e.g. I Thessalonians 5:21). Even Jesus hated religion - calling the religious hypocrites (Karens) "vipers" and "white-washed tombs, nice to look at on the outside but full of rot & decay on the inside".
Not that most Christians would be aware of that - what the Bible or Jesus said I mean - b/c the rich old white men would rather that they not actually read, just blindly obey.:-(
Wow. I don't know about soul, but you just won my heart:-). ~~Here, let me just cut it out for you...~~
~~Why would I buy you dinner when I can take your whole soul~~ Uh... okay! :-)
It took you 30 years to get to where you are today. Rome wasn't built in a day. Be as kind to yourself as you possibly can?
Why fight the Eldritchen forces trying to drive you mad? Give in to ~~us~~ them... Take it from me, who is in no way an agent of those Eldritchen forces, you will feel much better, when you are insane:-).
About the former stuff: me too.
About whether stuff is too late to change, I guess we'll all find out together!

oh. THAT probably explains all the downvotes to my own comment then, thanks! :-P
As a ghost, she will embrace the dark, become one with it, and own it.
O...
K...
So then, Darth Vader size-squared?
Unpopular opinion: why aren't links to articles treated as "advertisements", especially when the article lies entirely behind a paywall?
The post about the article spreads the message about the goods attempting to be sold, which in that case is a visit to the page.
Perhaps an exception could be made for those who at least offer a portion of the article for free, but often posts on Lemmy don't show even a single word of the article (could be an issue with the linking code though, I dunno).
