Of which "dontaskme", "lacewing", "harry baird", "immanuel can", among many "others" here in this forum provide GREAT EXAMPLES of 'devotion', by continually 'pursuing' their OWN 'interests' and what they BELIEVE is absolutely true here.Dontaskme wrote: ↑Tue Sep 27, 2022 7:10 amThe religion here pertains to a pursuit or interest followed with great devotion.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Sep 26, 2022 5:55 amI see some beliefs and some lacks of beliefs.

Truth is a lie.
Existence is meaningless.
Embracing our beliefs is better than to be destroyed by them because we have no other choice than to be a living conscious species who is able to make up a belief structure.
In reality, No one knows any thing, no one ever chose to be born. No one can know how or why or what is conscious experience except what has been imagined in the form of belief, thought, images, words and symbols.
It's perfectly normal to believe whatever gets you through your life, because at the end of our life, it's lights out, it's goodnight sweetheart, as deep dreamless sleep takes us all like a thief in the night. So sleep tight, until we meet again, some sunny day. Because at the end of the day, nothing really matters. And really when you think about it, matter is all that matters, and is all that can be known. Matter matters, you matter, until you don't.
I don't see anything that constitutes a religion. Pretty much everything fits with physicalism/materialism, even a current scientific one. The only thing that hints at anything outside of current science is 'until we meet again'.
What's the religion here?
Does ANY one CLAIM 'this' here?
If yes, then who, EXACTLY?

The notion “until we meet again” is being inferred as a simple pointing to the dream state where there is an awareness of knowledge. Namely, the knowledge of I ..albeit illusory.
