  8. perhaps 15 years ago i might have agreed with this statement but having seen the devolution of most atheists channels and people in that community, I've seen far more deeper and wiser introspection within christianity or even islam compared to these groups and recall how in the 20th century the structure of religion was pretty much abolished in full throught the hardships and suffering in ww1 that led to the bloodiest wars in human history. the modern scientific method is a scientific tool which was codified around the 17th and 18th century in the Enlightenment but that very idea of finding the truth or it even having meaning comes from christianity and the idea that god created the world and humans should study it. some of the fathers of secularism and thinkers like Spinoza reflected on the concept of religion, the founding fathers of the USA which made a secular government with no state religion were still christians and this looking for truth, individualism and secular values has only come from the west while most of the rest of the world did not find it on their own, even with religions thousands of times older than christianity, even with some religions and ideologies being based on rationalism and with no divine being to speak of. you could argue that the west is special due to find america and developing different from most of the world as a result and that religions like christianity just were around when it happened but that would not explain why the church remained so powerfull and was so involved within this development when other religions and new ones were being formed to compete against it that all have failed for the most part.

  12.  @SilvesterBathroomStallone  that's pretty interesting because from what I've seen that type of behavior is most common with people either suffering from depression, autism, lacking social skills and attractiveness. The acting out towards woman, feeling resentfull, anger at both their rejection from woman and experiences of societal gender rolls, the ironic thing is these types of behaviors are extremely common in feminist movements, black activist groups, fundamentalist islamic groups, certain types of men going their own way type of behavior. But it's realy only incels that get hated on freely, so it becomes a self premoting cycle, person gets rejected by woman (not just once, constantly) abandoned by society, told to man up, unable to do so either at school, personal life, family, media, becomes resentfull, needs to express that resentment and despise woman for their privilaged roll in western society, finds other men who experienced the same thing, fuel eachothers resentment and frustration as a means of finding some form of community and attention, society reacts to their existence and community, labels them hatefull, spitefull, losers and what not, gets more resentment and repeat. Now I understand that for these people to change they need to both change their outlook but also find some path of redemption and frankly non exist in society, the churches are empty, family structures have collapsed, the media is a shitshow, governments are abusive and stupid, western society is dominated by feminist movements that actually want more wealth and privilages towards woman (you got a woman quota for top end jobs in the Netherlands forced through by the government for example) with ironically less responsability for either their potential husbands, children and society. It's all just such a mess right now and it's also worrysome because these types of men and this type of society is ripe for political, ideological or religeus extremism. To me incels are just another symptom of a deranged and disfunctional society and I pitty them.
