  • Voyager cultivates the bio-neural cheese, making the smartest and most delicious cheese in the Delta Quadrant.

    Cheese sales used for diplomacy, barter, and bribes. All Delta Quadrant species like this cheese.

    Janeway, recognizing the power of the cheese to get home quickly, looks at a nutrient rich nebula in wonder saying “There’s cheese in that nebula!”

    Bio-neural cheese easily defeats borg nanos in one-on-one nano deathmatches. Whole borg cubes left disconnected and smelling of cheese.

    Neelix makes a fondue that becomes sentient for a few days. Janeway establishes diplomatic relations with the cheese. Neelix is now the ambassador of cheese.

    Voyager gets home in 3 years, with borg defeated. Multiple successful diplomatic first contacts, and trade deals. Dramatic increase in all cheese related technology, and basic civil cheese rights across the Federation.












  • Well, that’s all complete bullshit.

    Before religions, all humans made individual choices. During religion, all humans made individual choices. Even now, people still make individual choices. Your fictional religion just ignores reality and pretends everything is always religion, and it’s never been any other way. Just lies.

    Yeah, freedom, education,a nd choice really does fuck up religion’s absolute control, indoctrination, and forced activies. Fuck religion, and fuck you.


  • Religions have dozens of ways to make you feel bad about your choices and the choices of others. Fictional sins based on nothing are a common way of doing that. “You sinned, so you must want punishment/suffering”. Even when this sin is stupid and arbitrary. Ableism is another big one with religion: “They’re disabled because my god wants them to suffer, so I’ll contribute to their suffering - like my god wants me to”.

    “Dwelling on it”. Yeah, people hold grudges against bad people that hurt them. Religions teaches that you should forgive everyone, especially the pirest that raped your child, stole your money, or started a holy war and sent you off instead of them. Dwell on that stuff. Make it right. Don’t just forget about it and pretend like someone in a fictional afterlife will take care of it, because fictional gods don’t do that.

    If you choose religion, you are choosing suffering. If you choose a system of lies and fiction over reality, you’re going to get lies and fiction instead of reality. That will cause you suffering in many different ways.



  • It’s on the person explaining the problem to say whether or not they’re looking for a solution, or just for someone to vent to. Because some people really do just want options for solutions, and some people really just want to vent.

    Don’t expect people you come to with problems to be able to read your mind. Don’t be upset when they can’t. Accusing someone of being hostile for attempting to help with a problem you brought to them is just being an asshole.



  • There’s another side to the cult. The one that gets people to join. They preach love and peace and tolerance. All while holding a hate book of fiction and pretending their god isn’t a made-up genocidal religious maniac terrorist.

    They can do that because they ignore reality. They end up funding the radical religioius terrorists, and any radical terrorists that join and want more hate - it’s all waiting and set up for them.

    It’s not just one cult. They’re all cults, and in almost the exact same way. They’ve been doing this crap for thousands of years, and they’re good at lying.
