you don't need some grand explanation of everything to make life livable. i'm fine with not knowing lots of things and i don't need to throw all these mysteries into the big mental trashcan of "god". don't know this? "it's god!" don't know that? "god knows!". no, he doesn't, we don't, and it's just fine.

then there's salvation-- what a fucking joke. you only believe in it after they brainwash you first with the notion that you're damned and that life is dirty and sinful and somehow wrong. that's the real nihilism: the denigration of life for the promise of some future paradise. that's the fundamental abuse.

nihilism today, salvation tomorrow. the religious pawnshop.

Yes backatya.
