Oddbean new post about login | logout Still blows my mind how many people would rather live in fear of an imaginary almighty sky god and believe he’ll let them into an exclusive eternal utopia than to accept that when you die, you die How about we just agree to disagree - regardless of any particular Faith™️, just be a good person and chill *This is not an invitation to try to Jesus pill me, pls kindly gfy

While I personally do feel connected to spiritual philosophies, the simple mystery of existence/non-existence is enough to motivate me to live the best life that I can 🤍

You share as much as you feel is sound and safe.
easy to say: you're jesus
accepting that, in the end, we’re all going to be nothing but worm food makes living in the here and now so much more meaningful.
What I find interesting is the idea that stories in the Bible predate Christianity (i.e. Old Testament stuff) and are just word of mouth stories that people passed down as a social code describing a good way to live and the pitfalls to society if we do not. And that similar stories exist across cultures and religions. If I'm objective and not hoping for one outcome to be true it's perfectly plausible that "Jesus" was just an opportunistic (but perhaps still altruistic and well intended) personality cult that had not been seen at his levels of renown in centuries. That could be just it. Maybe he was just a social revolutionary and realized we were living wrong, valuing the wrong things in life. But a religious cult sprang up, intentionally or unintentionally. The Odyssey too and all that stuff. Interesting word of mouth wisdom.
