While the people that build a religion probably (hopefully, outside of folks we know were scam artists) believe the religion they built was true (and maybe it was), there’s still that first step of believing the religion around them WASN’T. There was a religion that was the mainstream, and they rejected it. Whatever religion you’re signed onto believing it is true DID NOT ALWAYS EXIST. And no matter how mainstream it is now, it wasn’t.
They’re not all progressives. Here once again you show that you simply don’t know anything about these people. Some of the most conservative people I know are in the anime culture.
The knee jerk rejection in our conservatism is almost every article on FR. Anybody complaining about woke is rejecting the mainstream. Anybody complaining about the media’s portrayal of current events is rejecting the mainstream.
By having your own ways they ARE a reaction to those other ways and idea. Again look at America:
Step 1 of making America - reject European ideas, mostly of religion
Step 2 - reject hereditary power
Step 3 - reject east coast society and go west
You’re the only one here knee jerk rejecting. You knee jerk reject all people that are different, and say wildly foolish things about them that show you not only know nothing about them, you don’t really know anything about yourself.
Study the history of your culture. Use that high IQ you claim to have and LEARN. See where it started, when it started, and what was happening before. Put away your knee jerk rejection and LEARN.
Knowledge of God is separate and independent of any input or information from other religions. It simply doesn’t need them. There is no requisite process of checking the other alternatives off the list.
As for ideologies in general, when you have an idea that works, it doesn’t need to have any regard for other ideas. Now, it could in some cases involve a sort of comparison and rejection process, but it doesn’t have to. The establishment of our country had to do with knowing it would work, not with some kind of preoccupation with other countries. When you know the prime rib is the best thing on the menu, you don’t even think about the rest of the items.
“Anybody complaining about woke is rejecting the mainstream.” This is utter nonsense. The constitution of woke is the “trans” nonsense, and its religion is political correctness. If you think this is mainstream, you live in a bubble, somewhere in a confused, leftist city.
I’ve never made any claims about my own IQ. You made that up. Stop making things up. If you have a good argument, you won’t need to tell lies.
If you read my posts carefully, you’ll see I characterize ideas or anonymous groups as corresponding with a low IQ, not specific individuals. Pay attention!
But FORMING a religion is not independent of others. The 1st generation of people in every religion left their cultural mainstream.
Again deciding your ideas work better than the mainstream is leaving the mainstream.
That’s hilarious dude. Every post on FR complaining about wokeness is complaining that the mainstream media pushes it. Lemme say it again. MAINSTREAM media.
By saying others are low IQ you are claiming a higher IQ. It’s implicit in the insult. So you’re lying, or so lacking you don’t even understand what you’re saying.
Meanwhile you’ve actually all of my points. So we’re done. Buh bye
Some religions are independent of others, some aren’t. Don’t be so black and white about it.
Some ideas are so good, they completely obscure all others. In such cases, the other ideas have no effect.
The mainstream media stopped being mainstream about 17 years ago.
No it isn’t. A person with low IQ can describe ideas as low IQ. You don’t have to be a genius to understand this.
