Belief in God is WHATEVER I DO AND NOT THE THING I DON'T DO

No it isn't Jordan! No it isn't! This is You trying to reframe what constitutes belief to justify taking all of that Christian money. To believe in THE CHRISTIAN GOD is to believe that THE THINGS IN THE BOOK DID, ARE, AND WILL HAPPEN, Jordan. Is the Christian God THERE Jordan. Is it THERE and does it have the attributes it is depicted to have in the bible OR.... OR... IS IT NOT THERE, Jordan? Is that A THING THAT YOU THINK? DO YOU THINK THAT THE CREATURE IS THERE? IS THAT A THING YOU THINK OR DO YOU NOT THINK THAT? ARE YOU A BOY OR ARE YOU A GIRL, JORDAN?

Dr. JeepJorp Peepeestones "Belief in God is WHATEVER I DO AND NOT THE THING I DON'T DO! Ok!? So if I don't actually believe in God, then, actually believing in God isn't actually believing in God, OK!? Believing in God is something else entirely! Now... Ok!? You can't just ACTUALLY BELIEVE that God is THERE... You gotta... You gotta, like, grapple with the IDEA that it MIGHT be there! And then you gotta interpret the book so that WHATEVER YOU DO... Is doing the Book! Even if you contradict yourself AND THE BOOK! Right!? See, God (and by extension all higher-order abstractions) is whatever I need to do be, moment to moment, for me to maintain a certain level of moral superiority. So, maturity? Whatever I need it to be, moment to moment. Belief? Whatever I need it to be, moment to moment? God? You got it! Whatever I need it to be, moment to moment."

Belief

I think your fridge analogy involves a failure to compartmentalize between different types of behaviors. For example, I can say that I am 100% certain that my friend wouldn't randomly punch me in the face (unprompted). But if he drew back and feinted a punch and I were to flinch you could say "If you were 100% certain why did you flinch?" But that's more of a reflex in response to stimulus than it is a deliberate act in accordance with a belief. If I sacrifice a goat because I believe a reality monster is going to reward me, that is a deliberate act in accordance with an articulated belief. So it's not quite the same. So, as it relates to your fridge analogy, you could be certain that there is no food in the fridge but in response to hunger you could check the fridge anyway out of compulsion. There could even be an element of conditioning involved. You're hungry. What do you do when you're hungry? You check the fridge. You know there's nothing in the fridge because you didn't buy any groceries. But you go to the fridge anyway because you've conditioned yourself to check the fridge when you're hungry. Reflex, compulsion, conditioning could all be considered "A-belief behavior." You can believe it's wrong to masterbate in public but if you're a compulsive masterbator you might end up doing it anyway.

Hym "Ha! Did a guy write a paper about that belief thing? The Jordan Peterson in reverse thing? Does my thing predate his? Probably. That's hilarious! How many PhDs would I have? More than David Buss? He had a lot... So... You know... Go forth! Make sure I have more PhDs than David."

Nickolass

Oh? You want me to apologize to HIM? Why him and not the schizophrenic? Huh? I bet you didn't think of that, did you, ass skull? Why are you so hyper-fixated on the fat-cock one that was being validated by women and not the one I talked about cutting open and sleeping inside of like a ton-ton? Is it because you only give a shit about people who are validated by women?

Hym "Uh-oh! I bet we forgot there was, like, a whole as other guy there didn't we? We were so fixated on the fat-cock one that we totally forgot to feel bad for the other one, didn't we? Uh-oh! Doesn't look good! Looks like we're full of shit aren't we?"

An imbecile "Uuuhh uhh ummm uuuhhh I meant both of them!"

Hym "No you fucking didn't bitch! No you didn't! Didn't even consider it. Hey, yo, that's 3 of you by the way. Shilling for ole' Nickolass? But maybe 1 person brought up the schizophrenic. You didn't even consider the other one. Why? You don't give a fuck about 'mean to retard.' You give a fuck about 'mean to sacred fat-cock.' That's the think? Why aren't you alluding that you want me to apologize to the schizophrenic? You don't. You don't care. It isn't even about Nickolass. How about this? I'm sorry schizophrenic. I'm sorry I said I would cut you open like a ton-ton and called you fat. I didn't mean it. Nickolass? You can go fuck yourself with your own big fat cock. It'll reach. I believe in you."

Dehumanizing

To treat a person or group of people as though they have no positive qualities.

Hym "If you told me that Urban Dictionary was a site made explicitly for dehumanizing people with small dicks... THERE WOULD BE NO EVIDENCE TO THE CONTRARY! AM I DOING IT? AM I USING THE SITE RIGHT?"

Better

I don't care. I'm not having a relationship.

Hym "I don't care if it's better I'm not having a relationship."

Editorial discretion

No. That's not why you're not doing it. You're doing it to screw me out of the recourse I would have access to and you have already reported on it. You have reported on the AI copyright sandal. You omitted part of the story to screw me and now Suchir Balaji is dead. The immigrant you are talking that you theoretically want in the country... Killed himself... Because he tried to do the right thing and actively prevented him from doing that.

Hym "It's also the fact that you're a Jew. I mean, it seems to be the case that Jews are just actively bad people. Right? Like, you're a Jew. You're dogshit. Therefore, Jews are dogshit. It must be the case. So, no. Don't try to blame editorial discretion for your Judaism. You wanted to screw me and now Suchir Balaji is dead because you buried a story to screw me. You're a murderer. You killed him by doing that. You are the direct cause of the guys death. You will be the cause of MY dead. If I take a kid with me you will be the cause of THEIR death. Give up what little control of my life you have. You are not better than me. You are worse."
