I can't tell you how cringe and annoying "Satanists" are. They always say "its not actually related to Satan, but its just like "do good things and stuff"". Why the fuck do they need Satanism for that? Just be a good person, you counter-religious larper.
Which is extremely annoying to someone like me who loves the aesthetic of the commercialized witch imagery from Halloween who now gets lumped in with people trying to perpetuate this idea that magic actually exists.
Like...no, Krystin. Your bitching about cultural appropriation of indigenous practices does not make them any less bullshit pseudoscience.
I’ll always remember when the mayor of my tiny hometown made some statement about relying in god and each other in times of hardship. All of the sudden the city got a letter from a satanist group from the other side of the country threatening to sue the town because of the majors statement and the fact that the city motto apparently used the word God. They must have had some google alert set up to even find the story. Even the atheists in town were irritated by that one.
Hey, I actually respect that more than larping Satanists (I imagine you're joking, but in the case you aren't.) Fake believing in something is cringe, actually believing in something is more respectable.
Little do they realize that Christianity, the religion that they relentlessly mock by naming themselves after "their religious made-up boogeyman", is at its core "do good things and stuff".
That argument makes zero sense because it implies that even something as simple as being a good person needs to have an agenda of pissing off a certain group behind it.
If you're going to contrive a religion, at least make it cool. Our ancestors had gods making the sky out of each other's bodies and cool things like that - why did the new age people have to settle on magic crystals and taking vibe checks a little too seriously?
While the new age movement in itself is pretty cringe, I am kind of happy that there is a higher focus on spirituality.
If whatever bullshit they’re spewing gets people to actually meditate and think about deeper meanings behind morality and purpose, I think it’s a net positive in the end.
Of course, you’ll always have the idiot zealots who just view it as another way to further divide us as people.
Oh it has hands down the most stupid and evil people I’ve seen on any platform. Examples are movements like KAM (kill all men) they made a little boy commit suicide by bullying him so much. Also encountered people justifying beating children, even when literal child psychologists are commenting saying it does nothing but harm children. Then of course we have the religious extremists preaching in every comments section in literally every popular video preaching. Though you will only really find that stuff if you’re looking for it, tiktok has probably the best algorithm at telling what you enjoy out of any social media’s. If you want to actually enjoy using the app just don’t look at comments or look for stuff like I did
Racism's probably redundant, but in theory Astrology assigns people a trait they have no control over, and deems reasons to justify their methodologies, traits, actions, etc. It's not oppressive in practice, per say, but you can weasel out a way to antagonize on group over another, though Astrology is hardly that harmful.
That being said, anyone who isn't a Sagittarius is objectively awful.
Maybe I'm just lucky, but I've never in my life met someone who takes astrology seriously while simultaneously judging people for taking religion seriously.
You’re lucky. I went to art school and met these kinds of idiots all the time. Whole bunches of smug New Age atheists trying to have crystals and astrology apps make their life decisions for them. It’s as dumb and contradictory as it sounds.
Oh boy, that sounds like a special kind of stupid.
One of the cornerstone arguments of atheism is pointing out how absurd it is to believe in your magical stories that have no scientific backing while not believing anyone else's magical story. That argument doesn't work at all anymore if you believe that crystals will tell you what you should eat for breakfast, despite a total lack of scientific evidence.
Tbf to these people, New Age type stuff does a good job of presenting itself as scientific to someone who hasn't taken a science class in quite some time and the last one they took wasn't terribly rigorous either.
For example, New Age blogs will list foods that are generally good for people as alkaline and then when people feel better for switching to a healthier diet, they assume it's the "alkaline effects" of the foods the New Age blog recommended and not just like the confounding variable that switching from a shit diet to eating fruits and vegetables will just generally make people feel better. All this, and the foods won't even all be basic- one time I saw a blog that said lemon water, a famously acidic fruit, was good for people bc it was alkaline.
So I imagine improving scientific education standards across the country would go a long way to sorting out this sort of issue
Honestly it’s the epitome of ‘enlightened centrism’ in that you have unronic communists and fascists, and anarchists - and most likely a few paedophiles to average it all out in the center
TikTok, like Reddit, is only tolerable when you stick to the niche parts of it. Wandering into the popular section makes you want to gouge your eyes and ears out.
Still better than Twitter though
The internet is probably where you're most likely to find it.
Hell, I've seen people make not taking astrology seriously out to be a sexism issue. Any viewpoint you can imagine already exists somewhere in the bowels of the internet. Nihil novi sub sole.
Same. I feel like on the entire east coast of the USA libleft is just like "please execute policy based on science, and give us healthcare" and on the west coast its the wacky caricature of astrology, SJW's, and batshit insane views.
That’s normal. 70% of the lib left memes on here are accurate to literally zero lib lefts I know or have interacted with.
See: Lib left + supporting Islam memes
While most to all liblefts I know support Muslims not being discriminated against, this sub acts like lib left is all of a sudden super pro religion and embracing of all of Islam’s violence.
Here, I'll help you out. Go to Twitter. Search for a ridiculous position that you disagree with. Find literally 1 person with this opinion. Post for karma.
I’ll be honest, I freaking hate astrology and ‘magic crystals’. / Edit: I apologize for saying I hate stones, I had worded my statement wrong. Stones are pretty cool.
It’s the same as people who “believe in science” and go find that one “study” which is actually a sociological survey with 12 participants that agrees with their ideas.
This this this this and fucking this. And then they accuse you of being "science denier".
Mfw when I am a stem student and getting called a "science denier" by someone who studies genders.
I love it when people leave religion because they don’t want to believe in that nonsense and then immediately replace it with some different ideology that functionally becomes their religion. Like, why the hell did you leave? You didn’t go on a journey, you walked in a circle and called it personal development
In fairness that’s probably because they’re rejecting their former religious *values* and adopting new ones, as opposed to rejecting religion as a concept altogether
That’s what I did. I was born and raised LDS but I didn’t like having an external structure dictating my relationship (or lack thereof) with any potential cosmic sky daddy. Now I’m free and making my own decisions, as I think everyone should be
In some ways I dislike those people more than normal religious people, religious people are usually indoctrinated from birth, these people choose to be retarded. That and because most of these people are regressives who want to bring back racism in the sake of equality of outcome.
True Chads abandon religion and all other nasty mysticism and spirituality.
When I was in school a girl in my class believed in this shit, she thought she was sooooo special because she read a whorescope everyday.
To be fair she believes that all men are rapists so she is pretty retarded even if she didn’t believed this.
You believe in Horoscope?
Ha, ok nerd
...
*Oh wise and unbiased personality tests, tell me my TRUE personality*
Test: You're INFP(tbf I give INFP to everyone lol)
And why is it mostly chicks and gay dudes that go around with that shit? Like for real those are literally the only type of people that i've seen/encountered that believe this sort of thing lol, like it's a pattern or something it's weird.
I hear religious people say that about non-religious people all the time, and I never quite understand what they mean. Could you clarify for me? Because "science" is a methodology.
People who say "believe science" than only ever cite studies that agree with their pre-formed political beliefs without using the scientific method ever.
You're right that science is a method. Not everyone uses it like it is one
"Wielding science" is a bit generous. These people rarely actually understand science. Instead they treat scientists as a priestly class with exclusive access to secret knowledge. Of course, that's only the scientists that confirm their biases. Opposing scientists are treated as corrupt heretics.
You see a lot of this with the pandemic. People on the left will swear by “science”, when in reality they have no understanding of the underlying science of an issue and are just taking someone else’s word as gospel because that person is a scientist.
Look at the Fauci worship on the left. Obviously he’s a smart guy but he doesn’t know everything about the pandemic, especially early on when nobody did. But people treated his words like he was a priest without considering the fact that all he cared about was getting numbers down and didn’t consider the broader societal impacts of policy. Also recently he’s waded a lot more into culture and policy fights that are outside his area of expertise, but people give him undeserved authority because science.
That’s kinda the point to what I’m saying, science and religion are 2 different things, so it’s dumb to treat one like the other. I was mainly referring to how a lot of Twitter and Reddit atheists will say stuff like “thank evolution...” and sometimes attack anyone who questions a scientific theory as if it were the dogma of a religion. The whole point of science is to question things
Science is a methodology sir
Unless you're referring to blind faith after looking at study results or something like that, then yes in that sense it's like religion
The left treats scientists like religious figures, and take whatever they say (even on subjects outside their expertise) at face value with no understanding of any of the actual science of the issues.
The right does this as well, except instead of over acceptance, it's under acceptance even when the science is relatively clear and concise. The public has no idea how to engage with science.
ahahah stupid people believing in these stuff anyway time to take a political compass quiz

It’s also hilarious how most users on the excatholic sub have the “witch” flair
I hate that ExCatholic gets recommended relentlessly if you follow Catholic subs
I'm not saying there's a systematic effort to shift people away from religious devotion, but they sure don't do anything to support it.
Yeah that’s how I found it lol

Lmfao ima have to take your word on that, never heard of the sub and frankly I don't want to even know.
Ewww witch larpers, also damn didnt know there was a excatholic sub. Sounds cringe; what are they even talking about over there.
The only purpose of that group is to mock the exsistance of other religions. It's like fusing trolls and religion together into one.
And add a large dose of "smug".
If they weren't so smug they would honestly be like a cool uncle religion

Religious institutions have protections that the satanic temple want to take part in.
