  • Attention 4chan extension/user script/archive developers: Some time in the next few days, we'll be rolling out a complete HTML rewrite of the imageboards.
    The design will remain the same, but the underlying HTML/CSS is completely new, and validates HTML5/CSS3 (with some tweaks to account for cross-browser compatibility).

    Please visit this thread to read more about the changes, and here to preview the code.

    As a regular user, these changes should not affect you. You will need to update your 4chan browser extensions/user scripts when their maintainer updates them to be compatible with the changes.
    The official 4chan Chrome extension will be ready to go when the updates happen, and 4chan X should be ready soon. We'll post more details on the day of the migration!

    In a dystopian future the government has released a new law that says everyone has to belong to a religion (Atheist/Agnostics don't count) or be taken to never be seen again.

    What do you do?
    If you choose to follow a religion which one do you choose?

    No real religious nonsense and that old pic of the Dalai Lama (haha Lama) saying that if Science proved a tenet of Buddhism wrong then Buddhism would have to change.

    Buddhism is right about everything, it's not scientific, it's not proven, but there is one religion that seems more and more right as science develops, instead of the contrary like with most others.

    Easy, I am suddenly a pantheist. I don't actually change any of my beliefs, or even lie about them, but I change how I use words.

    Mormonism. I don't really know what they believe and I doubt I'd actually believe in it, but I've never seen an unhappy Mormon person and I'd like to be happy.

    If I have to choose to believe, maybe hinduism. There's a naturalistic sect that's roughly pan-theist and worships nature as God.

    Actually, some main tenets of Buddhism come from[*] (the original) Taoism, so make that two.

    [*] Or rather: separately invented.

    seems like great news now, but realize those new atheists have to come from somewhere, and no matter what the majority believes most of them are hereditarily dumb.

    So, as the kinds of morons who comprise the bulk of Christianity switch over to atheism because of the (currently justified, but not for long) perceived image of eliteness, it will be diluted until it surpasses Christianity in terms of the number of retarded members. Suddenly you can no longer claim atheists are by and large the best and brightest as they are today because you'll have siphoned off the "believe whatever's popular" majority dumbfucks from the previous dominant group.

    Are you really ready for the kinds of people who today believe that angels and demons battle invisibly for their souls and think that Ancient Aliens is legit professing to the world that they are atheists, and representative of atheism? Isn't it better that it remain something that's not for just anyone?

    See, it's not like we have a choice between angels and demons and ancient aliens. The contemporary dumbass believes in both.

    The advantage with making the dumbasses atheist is that there are no atheist churches for them to rally together in and organise their dumbassery. Divide and rule.

    Correction! There's that one "atheist church" that an artist set up to make some kind of point about something? I know because it spread like wildfire to all the anti-atheist blogs, they had a field day with it.

    I looked into it and it turns out nobody actually goes there. It doesn't hold services, it was just "art". Aka, stirring the shit

    Of course. Machine apocalpyism where organic biosecurity is repurposed as mammalian sex organs of vampire mechanics that writhe like loa. Then again would they allow a religion of a valid description of our current state of affairs haw haw haw?

    Alas but what are we winning? Now the poison, our dearest enemy, the one who makes our blood fizzle into plasma, can posture as the common sense, the common state of affairs. It no longer has to wear "Christianity" and the image of Christ like an animal skin.

    The same disregard for mechanics, the same canonization of human fairy tales as valid descriptions of mechanics and all possible valid systems of evaluations, still persist.

    There's a secular humanist "church" in my area, and they do hold services. There are surely plenty of others. Not to mention all the "free-thinker clubs" out there.
