Is religion a coping mechanism?

economics is a coping mechanism

>Israel
>20% religious-
that would be mainly the haredim and the muslims
have you heard of secular judaism?-
>claim land because of religious book
>not religious-
the garden gnomes are famous for finding creative ways to not to follow their own rules and covenant with God
idk if they should even be back on israel given how no messiah has appeared, the haredim (ultra-orthodox garden gnomes) certainly hate the state of israel-
They strung a wire around Mercer Island near seattle so the entire island counts as indoors for the purpose of them garden gnomeing god
-
indeed
they also did it around most of manhattan but those are only few examples
judaism is a pretty weird religion to say the least, is the example of what happens when an ethnoreligious group secularizes, you can even be gnomish and atheist-
>you can even be gnomish and atheist
this is why being gnomish is an ethnicity regardless of your adherence to the written doctrine -
There is a part of the Talmud in which a gnomish rabbi defeats God in a debate. Even the "theistic garden gnomes" are atheists.
Honestly, post-Christ Judaism is just a Pharisaical coping mechanism. It was formulated in response to Christianity, not as a serious religion woke af on the Old Testament prophecies. The garden gnomes wanted a warrior Messiah who would lead them in a war against the Gentiles, not a teacher Messiah Who would tell them to reflect on their own sins and repent.-
the destruction of the second temple really bonked them up spiritually huh
-
That, and Julian the Apostate’s failed rebuilding of the temple, was God shouting right in the garden gnomes’ faces:
>YOU ARE NOT THE CHOSEN PEOPLE ANYMORE, YOU REJECTED AND PERSECUTED YOUR OWN MESSIAH
The entire history of the gnomish people since then has been nothing but coping and seething. They will only be healed from this spiritual sickness when they acknowledge Christ as the Messiah, not just the gnomish Messiah, but the Messiah of the entire human race.-
>Julian the Apostate’s failed rebuilding of the temple
didn’t know that happened lol -
Julius sided with the garden gnomes in order to spite the Christians. They tried to rebuild the temple together, but were interrupted by enormous jets of fire that erupted from the ground.
-
-
It pretty much destroyed their entire worldview. Keep in mind Judea had been suffering for hundreds of years at that point and the sack of Jerusalem sent garden gnomes into a complete state of nihilism

I understand the gnomish shell game of them being an ethnicity, religion, or culture depending on whatever argument they’re trying to win.

>Implying judaism is only a religion.
Goyim, pls. -

Yep. It’s generally a secular, modernized country. Tel Aviv especially is very liberal-minded and has a great nightlife and a massive gay pride parade every year. Reminds me of San Francisco or New York but not as many homeless people and WAY less crime.
It’s not just religious – it’s also about ancestry and heritage.

we’re an exception because changing the demographics can help pull voters to your party, similar to open borders. if only we didn’t have political parties that wielded huge influence to undermine the state for votes.
if you take away judaism then israel is just another state. what was the point?
-
Israel is an ehtnostate, not a theocracy.

>I understand the gnomish shell game of them being an ethnicity, religion, or culture depending on whatever argument they’re trying to win.

He’s right. garden gnomes are an ethno-religious group.

Yes like I said I understand how the shell game works

It isn’t a shell game. It’s just true.

Yes.
The real question is why do evangelical atheists promote the idea that coping mechanisms are bad, and why do they want to deprive humans of their coping methods. -

>tfw a good chunk of the more atheistic nations won’t exist in 100 years
Thus always to godless nihilists, I’ll shart on the living memory of Sweden, France, Britain, Germany.-
B-b-but they have higher GDP! Muh GDP! Muh funkopops! Collecting plastic shit and stuffing yourself with drugs and fast food is more important than life itself!

Or friends, career and family but I’m not surprised that’s the only alternative to being religious that you can imagine. We are on LULZ.
-
>Or friends, career and family
Career perhaps, until you say that one wrong thing that gets you fired and blacklisted.
Friends and family? LOL-
>areer perhaps, until you say that one wrong thing that gets you fired and blacklisted.
>Friends and family? LOL
Well yeah anon this is all a tall order if you’re an idiot unlivable loser, but that’s not anyone else’s problem-
So you get to keep your career as long as you are 100% obedient, and friends and family are totally superficial, all people are reduced to mere commodities, hmm…
Sounds like Hell on earth to me.-
>So you get to keep your career as long as you are 100% obedient, and friends and family are totally superficial, all people are reduced to mere commodities
No yeah this is entirely your problem. You’re a fuckin loser and you’re blaming atheism insurer of your faults and mistakes-
>you’re a fuckin loser if you’re not 100% obedient and loyal to international megacorporations that hate you and call you a "useless eater"

Lol you are having none of that you scrotes. Your social mobility, families, even wealth and purchasing power are broken,
has and continues to decline. You forsake your traditions for petty revolutionary materialism, and are in the process of being replaced by more virile races. -
More like fat, complacent consumer-cattle do not tend to seek profound truths.
Enjoy your atomization.
-
Are you trying to support religion by saying other things are bad because they’re similar to religion?
You understand how that’s contradictory, right? Right, anon? -

I was at my moms house who watches christian cable tv, and saw an interesting ad. Something like
>Alliance of Christians and garden gnomes
that helped to claim to help feed people in need. But when it came to displaying who they were feeding it included a holocaust survivor (who would already be getting money every year from Europe), and outright said at one point
>you’re helping to feed so many garden gnomes
It’s clear that it will always be Judeo-Christian when good thing happen, Christian when bad thing happen, and otherwise everything for the tribe.-
Evangelicals are insane. They are not Christians.

-
Religion provides comfort and hope but also is the root of some charitable organizations. You see this in the US even today. Churches operate food banks and homeless shelters and give money to areas affected by natural disasters.
-
They’re especially charitable towards child molesters.
-
All institutions with positions of unquestioned power are like that.
-
-
>midwit materialist completely misses the point
What a surprise, who could have seen this coming lol-
>food bank
>homeless shelter
>natural disaster relief
>>materialist
not him but wut?-
Material concerns are secondary compared to spiritual concerns.
-
food and shelter are needs

What use is faith if we don’t do what is right and take care of the poor?
What use is life itself if life has no purpose?

>muh pathos
Yawn.
>you hate life unless you are enslaved to megacorps
Jacob? Is that you?-
You don’t enjoy life, you have no meaningful relationship with your friends or family, you can’t hold down a job because you get fired for saying stupid shit, and you’re acting like this is making anyone look bad except you.
-
You’re making a lot of assumptions right now.
And besides, even if every single one of your claims about me was true, it still wouldn’t have anything to do with the state of western civilization.

No, but the hedonism inherently propogated in first world consumer societies naturally cheapens and erases religious values in exchange for the false idols of pleasure and entertainment.

Basically. Life is hard. Humans are basically a bunch of highly intelligent (at least compared to gorillas and chimpanzees) apes living on a floating rock in the middle of a giant universe. All the wars and ideas and everything we do is nothing more important then a monkey throwing shit at each other. Religion in a weird way makes life livable.
It’s the idea that life is important. That life has value. That a God exists and wants you to behave yourself and be moral and live peacefully with your neighbors. That when you die you will meet again with your dead friends and relatives. It’s a nice thought. I’m a optimistic agnostic. I truly think it’s impossible to know whether a God exists or not. But organized religion is a farce. It’s just something we all agree is true so that life is bearable. But organized religion has to be bullshit. Although being deists is at least respectable since you disown organized religion.
-
>optimistic agnostic
Anything is better than atheism because atheism literally offers you freedom but also nihilism and depression.

Catholics nations tend to be poor
Not religious -
Damn why are Russians so poor?
-
It looks to me like whiter countries are less religious. Could it be that prot bros ushered in atheism?
-
Wealthier nations also tend to be less happy and have a higher percentage of anti-depressant usage. Industrial technique replaced Christianity with chemical subjugation while failing to address the need for community and reason. Is religion a coping mechanism? It is much more of a system to avoid needing to cope while in industrial and post-industrial societies we see the need to cope addressed with shoddy pharmaceuticals and the oppression of social expectations as seen in Scandinavia.
-
Except countries like Finland and Norway, they’re regarded as very happy countries

They aren’t. Westerners have this mistaken idea where they assume Scandinavians are ultra individualists fuck the system rebel wannabees like there are when in reality Scandinavians are far more conformist and have a much stronger concept of face. Scandivians say they are happy on surveys because to say you aren’t would be a social spectacle in Scandinavia, it’s a taboo. In reality they have some of the highest rates of antidepressant use in the world and a serious suicide problem.-
You have several stacked claims, assertions and assumptions on your post, yet your picture only shows the rate of consumption of antidepressants in what seem to be only European countries.
Curious thing is that higher consumption rates are mostly from northern countries and UK, which has shitty weather.
More curious is that people living in those countries have issues getting enough sunlight, which means they have overall less vitamin D, the lack of which is directly correlated to depression and mood disorder rates.-

Bupropion (Wellbutrin if you’re American) for example is used for helping people quit smoking.

Who the fuck things that Scandinavians are individualist radicals? lmfao. People circle-jerk Scandinavians because they think it’s a cucked utopia where everyone is concerned for the common good instead of the individual
-
wait people don’t read this? It’s painfully obvious to anyone who knows what swedes are like at least. To be fair finns, danes, and norwegians seem more individualist, plus finns aren’t really genetically similar to the others

Isn’t USA one of the most wealthiest nations on earth, and yet there are more fundamentalist Christians in the US than anywhere else.

These graphs are the result of garbage data, for sure. Someone was cutting corners along the research process or reaching for a political conclusion.

Bold claim tbh

Not at all. I believe South Koreans are far more religious than that, and of the people who are religious, their religion plays a very prominent role in their daily lives and attitudes. I do not believe even 10% of Americans are going to church in any regular frequency, but I believe the stats for some of the other countries. It’s also telling that of the ASEAN countries, they exclude the overwhelming mono-religious Buddhist countries for the mixed-bag Malaysia and the outlying Christian Philippines. This whole thing reeks of politics or incompetence.
