Please only comment on existing ones to explain something specific. Upvote my comments on the post if they apply to you. Upvote comments on comments to acknowledge them (ie even if they don’t apply to you). Ive noticed polls can get clogged with more detailed explanations, so I think having my comments be designated as the only poll options to insure the accuracy of the poll. Please don’t downvote things that don’t apply to you.

    i’m a mix of satanist and gnostic antitheist…i’m against the religious tiranny and i think that maybe god enjoys or needs suffering in the world, but at the same time i can’t believe that we’re just products of randomness

      I agree, if a god exists it is not a loving or at least interventionist god. However, I am reluctant to accept beliefs that suppose socialism impossible. Whether “humans are weak when they do not suffer” (common from fascists), or what you propose “god likes suffering too much for it to go.” Or maybe Buddhism is also right, in that humans inherently suffer from the unsatisfactoryness of life and that will stay after material conditions improve. Maybe some cruel god designed that to be. It is forever absurd to me that the universe has found a way to become conscious, so I can understand your theistic tendency, though I doubt it’s correctness.
