      that's a problem i would say. why would you want to gather atheist people together. the very fundamentals of atheism is to neglect this group thinking and cult behaviour and herd mentality.
      I don't understand are you guys trying to form your own religion and call it atheism ? an atheist is alone mostly you don't need people to validate your thoughts and beliefs.

      @dark_philosopher._.758 Interfering someones personal beliefs is breaking their mental peace main bolta hoon when I m alone I prey for god to give me strength to fight the situation when there’s no one behind me and it makes me feel better toh mere liye god is form me exist karta hai ab isko scienfically jaise bhi proof karo agar mujhe piece chahiye agar mujhe motivation chahiye jo ki koi de nahi raha tab this believes ki koi nahi ha mtlb bhagwaan hai will push me up mujhe down feel hota hai toh main bhagwaad geeta padhke agar mujhe motivation milta hai then where’s is the problem brother??? Jaha tak existence ka mamla hai we r commenting on the existence of someone wich is beyond our persistence knowledge by the help of persistence knowledge?? What kind of intellectuality is this??
      And being anti atheist my personal opinion is the reality lies between this possibility and impossibility we r not that much eligible to crack that is liye isme humne apna perception daal diya apna poing of view daal diya to understand this in a better way toh fir hum to wahi sawaal pe aa gaye at that state jaha we again got confused I mean sare undicovered ka knowledge kisi athiest ke pass bhi nahi hai aur ofc kisi thiest k pass bhi exactly nhi ha rather than their fictional belif toh yaha sabka apna soch hona chahiye to feed their mental peace ☮️ par agar isme main interfer karu aur batau ki nahi tum mere pov mein socho like this if no one is sure about its existence of something bt similarly we can’t deny that it exist and if it’s is still on discovering mode toh hume apna apna pov khud dhundke agey badhna chahiye instead of being atheist or thiest and spreading propaganda. I have no issue with atheist they r way more knowledgeable lekin koi real atheist attention ke liye public domain main aake be fizul ka devate rakhna is basically makes no sense.

      Ek cheez hai ki science is materialistic and religion mein faith believe human emotions exist karta hai simple robot to hum hai nahi battery ghusao kaam karo mental breakdown down sabka hota hai agar uss waqt chanting for god makes me feel better is it so problematic for this wanna be aethists??? I genuinely dnt get the point…….aethism and thism dono ek concept hai belife system hai there’s no way to forcefeed on someone’s personal thinking toh ye iss baat pe apna apna opinion rakhna ek normal hai par iss cheez ko leke social media mein aake bakchodi pelna kyu belive karte ho kya zaroorat hai aur ase cheezo ko promote karna basically makes no sense at all.

Jisko manna ha mano nahi maanna mat mano pr ye athiesm ko ek religion banake apne sabko by videos convert karwao maine highly intellectual athiest bhi dekha hai highly intellectual thiest bhi dekha hai even big brains liek Issac Newton, Albert Einstine bhi existance par belive karte they……so the pont is clear!!

    There’s a book by Joseph Heinrich that discusses the evolution of western society, the weirdest people on earth. Coincidentally the Industrial Revolution took hold first in provinces where Martin Luther’s Protestant reformation first spread. He connects religious reformation (which led to literacy) and development of technology with the Industrial Revolution.

    • @Jayrum293
      @Jayrum293 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      That is correct. The Protestant reformation tried to do two things, one to translate the Bible from Latin to the language spoken by the people, English, Swedish or German, and spread literacy so that everyone was able to read it. This led to widespread diffusion of knowledge and technology.

  • @praz7
    @praz7 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    Industria revolution happened because of few reasons, one was black death which caused labour shortage and thus created necessities for mechanical automation. Then was proto-capitalism and merchantilism which resulted in accumulation of capital, then it was Lutherian Christianity which brought separation between theology and philosophy and post Christianity allowed for further scientific innovation and dispelling superstition. Colonization only helped in scaling the industrial growth. Fascism was a result of Italy and Germany losing their colonies after WW-1. Fascism is imperialism applied at home.

    Putting the pseudo-sience aside. I think mythology is like a magic, if you believe in it, it wokrs like a guide in your life. It is the most resourceful way to guide a human society in the time in which it was created. We are driven by stories, narratives and emotions. We idealize people. A diety, it's story, and it's attribute gibes yoi a certain personality. When the Romans went to war they prayed to the God of War. Simple logic, you basically worship the idealized form of the activity or Goal which you are trying to do something in. The more things go your way, the more you consider it as a blessing, forging the belief of being blessed with the Gods and also lile a perfect coping mechanisms. I just find it like a really helpful psychological tool. It's like building a personality and moving towards the action of which you want to do. It's like a peiece of Music. Music moves you, but if you start analyzing the Music in single notes you lose the harmony in it and by extention lose it's effect on you. This pretty much where I am going with. And I think that is why Mythilogies kept changing based on the time, and the situation in which it were told. And I do think every society has the right to believe and perpetrate their mythologies. The point is, what is the core message of the mythologies.
