Do retards only become atheists because it makes them feel smarter and more validated?

Retards just need better guidance. It takes too long for them to figure out why their atheist or transexual interests are so detrimental and which ways of thinking will be better for them.

Want to piss an atheist / hard physicist off?
“If you treat nature as divine or magical then you don’t truly appreciate science do you?”
They get offended so fucking fast lmao
They don’t even know what philosophy is

*If you DON’T treat nature as divine or magical
Fuck I just woke up
My point is, scientists today hate seeing the magic/wonder/beauty/etc in things

Not sure that's true. Most scientists find nature fascinating, that's why they study it!
Though I don't know what you mean by divine or magical. Is childhood leukemia divine? Is combustion magical? They're interesting, but I'm not sure exactly what you mean by your choice of words.
Scientists might develop a disposition of appearing hardnosed as they've dealt with a unending torrent of failed hypotheses. While it's definitely fun and worthwhile to feel awe, most scientific work is extremely intricate and tedious. Hard to feel continuous wonder when progress is very incremental. I agree it's good to take a step back and appreciate the bigger picture though.

The problem is humans take everything for granted and aren’t truly satisfied ever. Unappreciative.

If you don’t see nature as Godlike, then you’re sadly not appreciative enough. It—the universe—starts religions. At its very simplest, you had the ancients who had looked to the stars in the night sky, and had considered them gods. How is that any different from stage magic? There is no bigger magic stage than existence.
But smaller than that. It (science and its applications) gives us the powerful ability to talk across the world in an instant, and people think it isn’t magical? Do they not fathom the internet’s power?
“We can explain it” says the zoomer tard who doesn’t even know how their phone works.
If you get offended by the scientist that uses words like “divine”, or phrases such as “it’s like magic”, then you’re the worst sort of scientist/physicist imaginable.
These people HATE seeing other people see the mystery and wonder and beauty in things. They just do.
Yeah, they (the actually appreciative) are not defining it as such, they describe it as such. Magic is “magic”. Divine is “divine”.
>Is childhood leukemia divine?
People attributed disaster and tragedy to the divine, yes. A coping mechanism.
>Is combustion magical?
I always tell retards into fantasy that the fireball conjured by a wizard is STILL fire.
>They're interesting, but I'm not sure exactly what you mean by your choice of words.
What words would you use to describe something that is wondrous? Mysterious? Is an alien UFO not borderline magic, or just plain wondrous?
What does the physicist say when they confront something bewildering?
— “Hmm. That’s weird… I wonder how it happened… How it works…”
Does this not sound familiar to you at all?
People are blind to the magic/wonder, or the mystery, all around them. We’re living in a literal Atlantean era, and yet nothing is magic to grown ass manchildren.
Just fuck it.

That image is retarded. How is space not science? If it exists, there will be science to it. Literally-every-fucking-thing. It does not matter if we ever get there it or not.
Einstein is rolling in his grave at modern day scientists. Nobody is thinking critical or interchangeably anymore. They don’t see the science on the other end. What the fuck.

Atheists are retarded. Even if you take pascals wager to the extreme of including every religion known to man, you still end up being better off picking a random religion to believe in than not. If God doesn't exist and you believe in God then you lose nothing. If he does exist, then you lose everything if you don't believe.
A 10% chance of eternal bliss is better than a 0% chance. There's literally no argument against that. Plus you gain all the benefits of life fulfillment, community, and sense of purpose.

Einstein was too dumb to understand quantum mechanics. We know less about the world than ever before because of shit like QM.

Only if you treat it as literal.
There’s an old Jewish joke about two Rabbis who, over the course of a night, came to the agreement that God does not actually exist.
The next morning they were still seen going to the synagogue. “What does His existence have to do with anything?”.
Religion. Isn’t. Meant. To. Be. True. That defeats the whole point and purpose of faith and belief. These are STORIES you mold your life and community by.
The problem is humans take playing pretend way, WAY too hard/seriously.

I think for Pascal's Wager you need a literal understanding, although I can't even be sure of that.
Some of the Christian stories are ok but without the supernatural elements I don't see why I should value them above other religions or something like humanism.
