    Or you can not worship things, accept that you are a very limited ape & do the best you can with what you've got as a species by applying our not inconsiderable cognitive abilities to what actually exists and making things better for humanity.https://twitter.com/HotCornerBlues/status/979313167028416513 …

    At the end of the day, you can either worship a supreme being(s) rather than yourself, or you can worship yourself as a supreme being.

        You're a limited ape. Miley, Erebus & Nero think you and @pluckrose_david make good pets anyhow. The cat thinks all humans are uppity.

        I get where this is coming from, but personally I don't think the aforementioned limited species of ape has the capability to eliminate the need for an afterlife and a realm beyond the world we live in.

        Ok I The Christian guy is going to defend the atheist lady again. No where in scripture does it say that everyone who doesn’t worship God worships their supreme self. Find a better way to share the a Good News.

        One can’t help having an ‘ultimate concern’, cultic forms of worship express that concern explicitly and collectively, the issue is whether they increase or decrease human flourishing but the data shows ‘faith’, along with friends, family and vocation leads to happiness.

        That's not an option. In the end, you will worship something - either yourself or something else.

        What is it about you that feels the need to WORSHIP something? Why do the project that need onto others?

        And the other very relaxing thought that what you naively perceive as « good » or « bad » is in fact an illusion engraved into your brain by millions of years of evolution. In reality, it simply amounts to « what is the best strategy to transmit my gonads »?

        With the very relaxing thought that whatever you choose to do, right or wrong, is just the same because anyway, you have no free will :)

        Here, for example, you are worshipping your own cognitive abilities and deriding those who have a different view. So, it's just worship of the self.
