How is reality a god? It's not a being. It has no intelligence or agency. I can't think of a definition of god that "reality" would fit.

Parvos Granum

My searching tells me that this is a character in a video game, which is a weird thing to reference when talking about actual beliefs.

@Darkenfolk@dormi.zone is from dormi.zone, the warframe instance. I was talking to Darkenfolk in language I knew they would understand.

Maybe broaden your references for your entire audience next time.

And a fictional character's beliefs doesn't support your argument regardless of who would understand it.

I thought we were talking about Discworld.

So none of this thread is about actual real human beings and what they believe?

Seems like there would be a more appropriate community in that case.

There's no such thing as real human beings, humanity is a social construct.

Insulting someone by insinuating psychosis. You religious fundamentalists are all the same.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 15 hours ago

I don't know if you have psychosis, but you think reality isn't real which is pretty much a basic definition of not being right in the head.

Hey look it's the entire fields of psychology and sociology disagreeing with you. Because you're a religious fundamentalist with anti-science spiritual views.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

You said humanity is a social construct, not reality.

And if I'm a religious fundamentalist, you can answer the question I've asked you repeatedly: What god do I worship?

That said, 'entire fields of psychology and sociology' disagree with you. Which your googling should have showed you.
