To be fair, Genshin Impact art style could be a reason to hate it if you hate JRPG aesthetics.

Again, just describing my understanding of reality, sorry it triggered you.

"It serves a need"

I clearly don't believe that religion is a "need"

Now I don't trust your definition of "need" or of "clearly". What other words do you define in diametric opposition to their intended meaning?

People need oxygen, breathing serves that need. People need various organic compounds for energy, eating serves that need. People want to not be afraid of the void, religion serves that want. No one needs religion and it doesn't "serve" a need, just a desire..🤷‍♂️ I'm sorry me simply restating my point triggers you so badly, just keep in mind that you're not going to get anywhere screaming that religion serves needs.

I'm guessing you meant studying, but studding sharks sounds like a very interesting and difficult job.

Nobody said it was.

Well that's just not true, but ignoring that...

I didn't scream anything, neither did the OP that started this. They stated it calmly and plainly. Obviously religion serves a function in society, but so does slavery. I'm not trying to convince anyone to give up their long-held beliefs, I'm simply defending my interpretation of reality as objectively as I can. Just like coffee, alcohol, and black market sex rings, no one needs religion. The only reason I could think of that you would want to argue against that position is if you believed it wasn't true. But it is. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

But other things can and do too, so religion isn't necessary. That's the point.

I didn't call anyone an idiot, I just made the point that something being popular in society doesn't even make it good for society, much less necessary. Just look at fentanyl, or network primetime television.

I don't drink coffee and I don't have a computer, so I guess it's accurate!

Painting baby toys with lead was pretty popular for awhile, so was filling your house with asbestos. Don't confuse popularity with necessity, you might get cancer.

If you knew what InfoWars was at all, it would be pretty obvious, you don't need to have watched much (which I didn't, just saw the meme clips). InfoWars was one dude sitting at a desk screaming about conspiracy theories and selling snake oil for hours and hours, that's all it was. The desk was the only other thing on screen besides Alex Jones afaik. There was nothing special about it, but there was also no other part of the office "featured" on the show. Plus it says "InfoWars" in giant letters on it, so that should make for a fun prop for The Onion.

What would you have called it?

I believe that's from The Mighty Boosh!
