        This motherfucker when their wife tells them about their day: there was no beginning, middle, or end; the climax wasn’t revealed in chronological order; the hero is clearly a Mary-Sue…

    extremely religious so I know I shouldn’t be fapping at all.

    Correlation does not equal causation. Being religious doesn’t cause the belief that fapping is wrong. Being Christian causes it. Being Christian also causes being religious, but not the other way around. So it’s a common cause leading to correlation, not an actual causal relationship. And it isn’t a logical deduction either.

    OP should have been studying philosophy instead of fapping, maybe then he wouldn’t make logical mistakes which inadvertently erase the diversity of religious experiences.

      I know you’re all excited because you just understood the “correlation does not equal causation” principle, but “being religious” generally means being christian in english and I think you are just refusing to see that.

        The only reason for that is the many genocides perpetrated against members of other religions. Especially in places like Australia and the Americas where Christians were bloodthirsty invaders. By equating the two, all you’re doing is continuing the work of conquistadores and other murderous colonisers. It’s factually wrong, but more importantly, it’s morally wrong. There’s no reason to act this disgracefully.

          Europeans regularly killed other Europeans, who were Christian. The natives could have met them at the shore with a stack of bibles and the colonizers still would have slaughtered them.

            It sounds like you’re saying religious genocide doesn’t matter because it would have happened anyway.

              I’m saying it was European colonial genocide, religion was a secondary or tertiary motivation, and yes it would have happened anyway

                I don’t care about motivation or how a bunch of murderers felt, I care about the victims of genocide and the loss of massive religious diversity. Don’t you care about that too? Or is the only thing that matters to you what the conquistadores “intended” while they were raping girls and destroying villages?

                  Really? This you?

    There are jobs and there are jobs. But well, some are born as cashier, I guess. What do I know. Give it a few more years of doing the same boring repetition over and over, for little to no pay.

      It’s a good starting point though. Sometimes you just need something to give yourself some momentum to get going with work
