The pursuit of happiness in this life falls within the domain of science and is relatively straightforward to evaluate using empirical evidence. The evidence shows religion is not needed for happiness in life.

In contrast, assessing the likelihood of happiness in the afterlife requires a different approach. If a particular religion is strongly associated with greater happiness in this life, that offers scientific support for its practical value. However, when empirical data is inconclusive or the afterlife remains uncertain, we must turn to other criteria - such as coherence, consensus, and risk management, to guide our reasoning about what may follow after death.

For this reason, the afterlife, we must follow God.

I'm at complete bottom right now. God is my only hope and my only friend. If he does not help me right now I'm finished

Love! if thy destined sacrifice am I,
Come, slay thy victim, and prepare thy fires;
Plunged in thy depths of mercy, let me die
The death which every soul that lives desires!

I used to bash the KJV to be contrary to the low iq KJV-only who think God should talk like Shakespeare. But now I've gotten more favorable to it. Its very literal which is good. And poetry and literary beauty is part of the everyday enjoyment of the Bible. Its true it has some archaisms and mistakes, but that's more for academics and theology than daily use. If you care about the archaeology of the ancient near east use the NRSV, but the KJV is so much more relevant for the last 400 years of english-speaking culture.

I Study Western Esoterism as hobby and Christianity is in all places in same way with Judaism, and Islam sometimes.
I dont read the bible but sometimes i like to read the no-faith academics of the bible and atheists.
I like the critical theory method scholars and the orange-german school of the bible.
>So you're a atheist
No, maybe a agnostic.
I dont believe the modern church of the pope or the modern protestant churchs are the true and original ideas of jesus, if that dude existed as the book portray him (or various jesuses, ignoring that people have genuine belief that the guy existed like its a historical perfectly portrayed guy or just have faith)
To me jesus was a human that supersticious humans divinized and make a too magical history to turn his life more epic, later in life of the cult the romans turned this into a memetic weapon.
To me the modern Christianity its a invention of Paul of Tarsus group, the trinity dont make sense to me, a lot of things in modern Christianity to me are superfluous and dont make sense for the original jewish ethos of the jesus to me, too much greek and pagan to me.
All of the Jesus followers died in a city siege in a war, the people that existed after this war are the pagans and non-jewish related to traditions of tarsus.
>So what church…
i like the non-trinitarian sometimes and the universalist, i find oddly that these guys sometimes make contact with secular humanist and deists and go away with dogmas.
I dont believe in the tribalistic jewish hero king-priest and son of god history.
To me the logic of son of god is a error of the jewish ethos based on the pagan gentile ethos of the hellenized people, all are sons of god in the jewish mystical logic.
>But you re too much jew
I dont remember that jesus destroyed the old jew laws in any way, even his brother (let say it existed as his portrayed) still keep praying to the temple and do a lot of jewish things after he died.
The separation of judaizant practices are a later thing, thing that at times make me dude if primitive christianity its not just a died thing and the modernity its juts a political mask of a old dead religion.
Sometimes in the bible history are neoplatonic and symbolics thing thatPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

What kind of boxtruck do you have, when I search for boxtrucks I get something that looks like a pickup

>I would do this but I have a very unreliable car that forced me into wrenching just to keep it running. I suppose I should be grateful considering it's an inherited car but my mom should had gone with a Toyota or Honda instead of this Eurotrash with it's plastic engine parts that fail after 90K.

consumer vehicles are complete trash. i have an old package delivery boxtruck 7m long, 2m wide, 2,70m height. this was never meant for the end-user like me but for federal postal service. after ~10 years of usage they sold these in bulk and in some places they buy these in bulk and sell them for cheap.

turns out the car manufacturers CAN build vehicles that last a long time and are easy to maintain, they just prefer not to and only do it for professional use, not for the people because fuck the people. i'll never buy a normal car again, i will always want a used boxtruck like that. this is simply better in every single regard other then ease of finding parking in urban area.

I watched a few videos of people doing van living, there are even communities of van dwellers

There is a community of them in canada, they try to survive winters in their vans and cars, one succubus spent 20 grand on a diesel heater

I have to wonder why they don't simply move to a warmer location during winter time, the whole advantage of living that way is that you're mobile

I'm starting to think that the whole thing might be kinda dumb

i had no home so i slept in my pontiac vibe for a bit, honestly its okay but it depends on where you live. A lot of cities are pretty strict and police and security can be annoying.

100% - Stealth camping is just a ploy for clicks on the internet.

>>322851
Vanlife isn't free, and easily slides into money pit status once they start strapping heaters and solar panels to the rig. They'd be money ahead just getting a roommate in town if mental health wasn't getting in their way.

A drawing of a witch succubus (child) who, through the power of smartphones, was turned in to a furry succubus (child). I find it interesting because it I personally relish in the playful teasing of smaller, fragile creatures as a means for developing their emotional intellect and defensive capabilities. I felt it was worth sharing because every Wizchan user is exactly like myself.

WWE wrestling is slower and worse, yet AEW have non-stop flips and action which make it extremely hard to immerse due to being unrealistic within its own reality. Almost nobody is selling shit in both promotions. If characters in shōnens ran about without proper breaks, it would also be shit.

>>322779
Thanks. The reason I ask is because every time a YT comment brings this stuff up it becomes a shitstorm between the two sides, but I think it's like you said. WWE is slower and AEW is eager to get into the nitty-gritty. Since I'm just starting to watch this stuff, I'm finding AEW slightly more helpful. Since there's more fighting on the event, I get to see a lot more moves in quick succession, and it helps to see lots of powerbombs and piledrivers, whips and headlocks and all that stuff. WWE does feel like a more polished spectacle, but since I still don't know anybody, it's harder to appreciate it.

I have to play this stupid IRL bullshit videogame tomorrow. The objective is to disassemble my bed, get everything off of my desk, clean the carpets, lay an area rug down under the desk, and then assemble a new bed. It's going to suck, no anime watching until it is done because I'll have naught a PC to watch on nor a bed to lay on.

I hate anything that has to do with rearranging furniture for the same reason.

Use your phone then. Go put a video in the background or something.

That's my wizard origin story. I was too busy saving western civilization to do the thing that men and succubi do when they love each other very much.

Consuming AI generated child porn is also a victimless crime. Your wife cheating on you with tyrone is a victimless crime. Jews promoting racemixing to the point of ethnicide is also a victimless crime. Your kids abandoning you when you're old and destitute is a victimless crime. But I guess the crime is more 'acceptable' to you if there are no legally recognized 'victims', which is a very arbitrary metric. Based on your attitude in that single post, you're the kinda guy who is happy with whatever the laws says is legitimate. You don't have any values of your own.

I believe 4chan started off genuinely as a passion project, but due to the amount of power it had over internet culture (and how cowardly m00t is), it was inevitable power hungry jews would want to influence it.

>>322833
Do you remember the 10-hour cocaine-fueled podcast? There's a reason why there was never a continuation. There's no more "secret level of evil" to uncover.

>>322841
If it's any consolation, they only got to 4chan in it's eternal September phase. Which was also coincidentally around the same time most of the internet went from amateur websites, fandoms, websites, forums etc to the same 5-7 websites that the internet consists of now.

Why did you start i the first place?

I would say I'm a very light smoker. I only buy a pack once every couple months. Maybe I haven't built up enough of a tolerance to it, but I rarely find myself thinking about it. Even going outside for me is a chore. Not everyone has an addictive personality and even if they do nicotine may not be *their* drug. My father was able to quit smoking relatively easily compared to many people.

Will you learn what a paragraph break is omg

>>322777
NO.

i read it all! and with that then first said I would like to say:

>the WEF, the U.N.

are cloaking masks used by jewish finance. even before WW2, there existed judeomasonic supranational proto-communist groups like the League of Nations. the jewishness of these groups was known to wise observers.

>the Anglosphere

has been under complete venetian-jewish control since probably the last 16th century. i mark the late 16th century as the inaugurating point of their control of england as this is when the venetian vanguard of bacon/dee/burghley/walshingham intruded itself onto Europe through their stewarding of the break with the Catholic Church. this problem is greatly old and in temporal excess of not only our times but even the times of the past 2-3 centuries.

>there might be a nuclear war

no there will not be. nuclear weapons do not exist. they are a figment of the propagandizing mind of the jews and little more. “nukes” are just as much a jewish fiction as the “covid virus”.

>it's gnostic in essence

it is communism. and communism derives from gnosticism, which derives from platonism, which derives from the speculating labors of the pythagorean secret societies. these groups long since resolved that this reality is an illusion imposed upon us by a lesser demiurgic deity and that the great generality of humans appearing in this illusory bubble-world are scum impeding the "elite" mystics' ascension to godhood. so if in pursuance to this species of thought we adopt a proud gnostic perspective and disesteem the most of mankind as soulless vessels, then the enslaving/deceiving/bankrupting/sterilizing of this mass of people is a logical end that must be honored by the kabbalistic (neo-platonic) rulers. plato (who was a gay saturnian mystic) said just as much about the necessity of deceiving and bankrupting the common people.

Don't lose hope! You have excellent observations but saying

> but deep down you know that is the future, and future has never been a synonym with good,

is proof you do not believe things can be turned around. Maybe they can. The world has been very bad for a very long time now.

I was put off by the drastic changes they made to the world. "Oh, blade runners are replicants now but it's all cool". "Humans are so racist against replicants. If they just trust their corporate overlords they'd let these perfect obedient humans eliminate their drudgery". "Oh, replicants can have children under special conditions and it is the McGuffin of our entire movie". Seriously if it wasn't for the wizard insert I couldn't stand this movie. If they hired any other writer under 60 this movie would have been shit.
