I just dont think about it. Im not interested in being the type of person who randomly rants about religion to the people around him. Those people are absolutely exhausting. They think people agree with them, but we’re really just ‘yessing’ them to death so they’ll shut up and stop making things so awkward and weird.
I have a friend whos deeply into god, but doesnt go to church or anything. Hes also in his mid 40s and lives at home with his 82 year old dad and smokes weed all day. He used to send me videos about how godly Trump is, etc. Big Trump guy. I dont know what happened, but he started sending me videos about Trump being evil and the antichrist. I mean, I love the change. Its definitely in the right direction. But my guy, why the fuck are you sending me 45 minute long Youtube or Facebook video essays on why Trump is the Antichrist. He sends me several of these a day. Usually 5-60 minutes long. Its literally all he has become. Religion aside, I find it terribly frightening how the internet algorithms first radicalized him for Trump, then completely changed his view to the other side. My friend isnt very bright. I’d say hes about the average American. Millions are just like him.
Ok, this really went off the rails here. I dont know why I went from the religious stuff to the internet algorithms manipulating people. Maybe its because they go so well together. Different tools to accomplish the same goal of mass manipulation.
Personally, I aged out of the whole edgelord ‘Religion bad!’ in my early 20s. I just ignore it. People believe what they want. If it doesnt harm anyone, who cares?
I’ve posted this before, but I’ve got banned twice for inciting violence on posts that there not inciting violence at all. In both cases, I was banned when my browser refreshed to the posted screen. Instant ban. No human saw my post. So I deleted my account. Seems like they feel that they are too big to fail and are just trying to clean up its userbase before it goes public.
