Want some extra fun? Christian here who subscribes both to annihilationism (IE, the "hell = nonexistence" doctrine you're describing) *and* quantum immortality; I call this combination quantum universalism.

While many futurists anticipated broad advances across the technological economy, in fields ranging from computing to materials science, few foresaw the radical advancements in theology that advanced quantum theory would bring.

Anyhow, that was an alternate timeline futurist shtpost, but more seriously that is more towards the kind of weirdness I would expect from Ultimate Perfect Good, as compared to some other theories.

On second thought, apparently they don’t make Tumblr anon plushes.

I feel like they’re passing up an opportunity for, eh, maybe $10,000 here.

I will admit, the most calming take I found on Christianity was some guy arguing at length on a forum that the whole “Hell” thing we take for granted was really, essentially, a translation error, and that the alternative to divine salvation is not eternal torment, but non-existence.

Reading it, I felt a lot of my desire to argue about religion fading out, at least for that time.

on that note @mitigatedchaos I can’t thank you enough for bringing us the quality “atheists belong in camps” posts

[silver-and-ivory]

As far as I can tell, you’re not really going for persuading them, nor do you seem to really gain much from interacting with them.

And your audience (that is, people who follow you) aren’t likely to be influenced away from their nonexistent seething hatred of atheists. (And it’s not that much more compelling to me than you just talking about futurist stuff by itself.)

I’m actually kind of curious, why do you try to argue with them if not to persuade?

I’m pretty sleep-deprived today because I’ve been having to watch this dog all week and he’s undergoing separation anxiety and howling at 4 in the morning.

So I got kind of annoyed at the emotional tone of the original series of posts it was in response to, and wanted to knock it down a peg.

Usually, I curate the mitigatedchaos blog for reading and would shunt such arguments to the -extras sideblog, but I also wanted to clarify a few opinions I have WRT religion that I haven’t really clarified yet on this blog.

Like, I’m reconstructing Nationalism and social centrism so people might otherwise assume I would also be pro-religion rather than far more neutral on it.

Its neat to see you interacting with mitigatedchaos since I think of you two as being in completely disparate tumblr circles

I’m inside a lot of distinct Tumblr circles apparently. I suppose my dashboard is more of a Venn diagram really.

Used to have more interactions with rationalist Tumblr but if argumate’s not reblogging my posts it just doesn’t happen anymore

Really, I think of it as more of a hexagon -

I mean yeah.  I seem to be drawing in mostly Rationalists and Rat-Adjacents.  I’m probably closer to the edges than some of the others.  At least I think it counts as that circle.  I don’t have, say, e*nationalism or rtri*e following me.

On the other hand, seeing as you terminated your blog and remade it, is Argumate even following you anymore?

the other Weinstein move seems to be puffing up the impression of his power for both carrot and stick purposes; sleeping with him doesn’t guarantee you a good role and not sleeping with him isn’t going to ruin your career, but either way you don’t know that, you don’t know exactly how far his influence extends, and he does everything he can to convince you that his opinion matters.

Shut the fuck up you sexist bitch.

Technically, this one arrived before the other one, so I think this is actually my first official anonhate.

I don’t have any confetti or anything up here, so you’ll just have to make do with this.

That’s not actually a real anon, by the way.  It’s an Official Tumblr™ Plush Anon.  The shipping is fucking ludicrous, though.
