To get the Runners High you got to run the marathon.
So why then do you try to relieve the suffering of some African villagers with your wells? Surely their lack of water is part of the plight they suffer which will lead them inevitably to this 'eternal Nirvana'. No? Your philosophy suggests that a mere lifetimes worth of suffering is fukall when compared to an eternity of bliss with some eternal 'godhead'.

You are of course free to believe whatever twaddle comes to mind. My favourite is that smartphones are an alien device smuggled onto the earth which are being used to weaken our species via the optical cortex. At any time the aliens controlling them can kill anyone they want by 'calling them' and triggering a fatal epilepsy or aneurysm.

Because it's our duty to do the maximum amount of good we can in our short time in this life? Because we have limited ways to help so we do what feels right?
Seems bloody obvious to me mate. Can't for the life of me understand why you would even question such a thing.
Although perhaps it's just because you enjoy being cantankerous and contrary?

I question the sanity and mental stability of people with religious beliefs. Then again everyone has irrational or insane beliefs about something, I believe a fucking fortune cookie most of the time ffs.
Back to COVID though, got two seperate texts/emails from places having me verify my vaccine status to be exempt from needing to do their COVID screens/symptom checker. Pretty pumped if that's the new trend, at one point between work and school and appointments I was getting like 2 of those a day

Why? Stupid beliefs should be challenged. I personally find it a little perverse to consider suffering virtuous.

There’s a grassroots movement gaining momentum in DC to gets restaurants to not allow unvaccinated patrons. I think we’re at a tipping point.

Doesn't everyone have religious beliefs? I mean even an atheist has a religious belief IMO; they just believe that God does not exist..
Semantics, perhaps.

I don't think Asante is suggesting that. I'm certainly not.
Suffering fucking sucks. I hate it. But there's nothing I can do to stop it or avoid it so I try and see the value in it.

Well if you wanna put it like that I feel that denying that anything 'religious' exists is foolish and arrogant.
Fact is none of us know and none of us will until we die (and even then we might not if the lights just go out, however I'd put my life on the fact that that won't be the case).

people who suffer often turn to religion to help them grieve and make sense of it all. It has been used for thousands of years and currently to help guide people through life, to make better decisions regarding themselves, and those around them. The fact that you consider that stupid lends credence to my belief of your myopic mentality regarding what seems like just about anything you dont personally agree with.
Im sure youve already got your answer but for all the 'im right' thinking you do, I think it would be worth some introspection and asking yourself if youve ever actually been wrong about something...

I'd have a better opinion of religion if it weren't for the fact that religious people tend to use magical thinking for everything, and to rationalize shitty behavior. If they just use it as a way to focus on being a better person, then that's great.
