1. Atheists Good: The ability to live life without the need to find answers or accountability in and to a higher power. Humans almost need this. So this shrinking group in the world is still managing to hold on. Bad: This gap however gets filled with other stuff. State religion, weird new-age and spiritual things, self-destructive behaviour, politics being their new religion. Ugly: r/atheism during the 2010s
2. Christians Good: Ability to become liberal and secular over time, something seen with the moderates. Bad: Sometimes it is a bit too much and they allow for their religion to be subverted by the politics of the day. Ugly: Inability to create anything original or that is good. ReliRap, White Metal, I dunno. Its just all so atrocious.
3. Muslims Good: Not having a flexible back when it comes to contemporary western politics. Bad: Still a lot of muslims holding on to their faith as if it was 400 years ago in Western countries Ugly: Moderates not outraged and on the streets when the extremists shit the bed.
4. Jews Good: Showing the importance of a strong familiar structure with education is a winnings strategy in the long term BTFOing the rest. Bad: Generally unable to recognize the horrible history of the state of Israel. Ugly: Schrödinger’s Minority comes to mind.
@freemo It is hard to say anything generic good or bad about one major religions (or the lack there-of) as a whole when that religion carries a number of strands in direct opposition of that thing. Even atheists are such a big and diverse group that it's hard to find something that applies to all.
@realcaseyrollins Off-the-record messaging. https://otr.cypherpunks.ca/ It is encrypted chat over unencrypted chat protocols. It was a plugin for Pidgin, but I suspect there are newer and more similar plugin in use these days I am not aware off. :-)
@freemo This is from Wonder Showzen, two seasons of the most offensive and fucked up stuff that TV would permit to be broadcasted. Season one was great, season two meh.
