Now if you do socialism without being a genocidal nu atheist about it, let's think about what is more likely to happen if you meet everyone's needs and remove oppression than "everyone will magically give up their religion and culture and the survivors will assimilate into the hivemind"

Now of course there will be more open atheists, because religious oppression is absolutely a factor in people not being openly atheist. But there will also be a lot more people converting to other religions, especially minority religions in the area. Since, yknow, religious oppression is also a factor in people not converting and exploring their faith.

Obviously if oppression somehow magically ceases to exist, then those specific parts of religions would vanish and the religions would not cease to exist but become more progressive. If peoples needs are met, religious leaders lose some coercive power. But also on a smaller level, individuals can still chose to.... be oppressive on a smaller scale, and gain coercive power in other ways (eg blackmail) so you're still gonna get the cultier types and there's still gonna be those holding on to oppressive ideas and enforcing them within communities even if these ideas do not have wider societal support (and this is not exclusive to religion, we've all met tankies, you know if we woke up tomorrow and oppression had vanished, they would have made up a new kind by midday)

Honestly with less fear and oppression comes more freedom of thought and I would expect an increase of philosophical debate even within religions and specific sects that discourage that, which would probably lead to an overall increase in variety. A religious cambrian explosion. At least one will replace Jesus with RaptorJesus and be completely serious about it.

Humans won't stop being human, of course, while polls show scientists are less inclined towards religiosity, many many religious scientists consider their faith to be an essential part of their work, and vice versa. And most people aren't and will never be scientists. People like comfort and community and guidance and tradition and connection. People like answers when their arent any. People want meaning where it might not exist. People are afraid of death on an instinctual level, for obvious reasons. People just believe things. People WANT to believe things. People experience things and make sense of them as best they can. And you can stamp your feet about it being "illogical" all you want, but humans are evolved to be illogical and will continue to chose that, and they also deserve to be happy. And they will chose that even if they want for nothing. (Just like some people cling to illogical views like "I can make the whole world think like I do and get rid of religion because I dont like it)

(And thats if all that even is illogical. But quite often when you look into it, it IS logical, even if you don't agree. But edgy Internet bros never know what "logic" actually means lmao)

And of course everyone who has ever been afraid to practice their faith and engage with their culture will be able to embrace those without fear. I think that will pretty obviously result in an increase of ppl practicing their religion.

Alrighty! I ran into a funny little bump in the road while adding in a new feature, and ended up spending a couple weeks relentlessly overhauling my textbox system!

I'm now using a library of scripts called Scribble that contain tons of text effects and other great features, and I'm using another library called Chatterbox, along with the dialogue editing program Crochet, to pass all my dialogue into Scribble in a dynamic way. I'm REALLY happy with this. It was a lot of work and stress to get everything transfered over from my old textbox system, but it was worth it.

This video demonstrates many of the effects I can use! And also no one except Kibitzer and the narrator has a voice yet haha!

Music used was made by RaptorJesus, who can be found here.

Answers under the cut b/c this got a bit long

—

Send me some end-of-year asks!

1) First thing's first, did you have a good year?

Overall, yes! It had its highs and its lows, but I've learned a lot this year both academically and about myself, and it's been a really good ride. Also, God has opened so many doors for me and blessed me with so many good people that I look back over the year and just marvel at how evident His hand has been in my life.

10) What song sums up this year for you?

This year has really been one of learning to be okay with where I am and not comparing myself to where other people are on their journeys. Relationships, school, careers. All of these are things that are paced differently for different people, and that’s okay.

29) Did you lose anyone close to you?

Fortunately, the closest person I lost was my chiropractor. He was an old family friend but I didn't know him super well. While, yes, it was sad, it wasn't a huge heartbreak or anything.

36) Who wasn't as important to you this year as they were last year?

People come and go throughout our lives and I think 2019 was the year I really started accepting that. 

And this doesn't exactly answer the question, but feels more relevant: I've started learning to care less about what people think of me. So it's not so much a person as it is people's opinions in general.

42) What are you most proud of accomplishing?

Right now I'm just amazed at how far I've already come in school. I'm very excited for this next semester and I can't wait to see what comes next. 

Also, I graduated from my gap program back in May. I thought that being away from home for 9 months would be a much bigger deal than it was, and I'm kinda proud of how I handled it.

50) What do you wish for yourself?

There are a few things. First and foremost, I want to keep growing in my relationship with God. I want to be bolder in sharing the Gospel and talking about all that God has done for me.

Have you ever had a crush on someone too old for you? Besides celebrities, the oldest person I’ve had a crush on was only a few years older.

Are you frightened by perfection? I’m not a perfectionist if that’s what you mean. 

Who reminds you of you? I relate to a few of you guys on here on a lot of things.

What's your favorite Dr. Suess quote? “We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.”

Do you like Plushgun? What?

Are you impolite? No, I don’t think so.

Did you ever see the *More To Love* show? Nope, never heard of it.

Who would you send to fat camp? I wouldn’t.

Is there any logical reason for humans to weigh 500lbs+? Logical? No, not that I can think of. But some people struggle with their weight and have health issues or something else that causes them to gain weight. You don’t know a person’s situation.

Have you ever surfed? Well, no.

What do you do when you go to the beach? Lay out in the sand on a towel and tan or read a book and munch on snacks. <<< Literally same.

Dallas Green or Christofer Drew Ingle? Who and who?

Have you ever watched Jerry Springer? Yeah.

Name one Beatles song; Come Together.

Who's your favorite Beatle? I don’t have a favorite.

Does Lady GaGa really have a wang? I forgot that was a rumor going around for some reason years ago. Who caressss.

How many words do you know for *Marijuana*? Marijuana, weed, pot, ganja, grass, green, bud...

Have you ever broken your school's dress code? Nah.

Do you have any Lost theories? --

If you were to have wings, what would you want them to look like? Boneless with some covered in garlic parmesan seasoning and some with lemon pepper. Haha. I’d rather have those than actual wings, honestly.

What's your Last.fm page? I think I had an account before several years ago, but I don’t remember it.

What's with the vampire craze? It was a big thing at one point and then it seemed to just die out. Admittedly, I got sucked into it as well.

The Lost Boys or Interview With A Vampire? I know of both, but haven’t seen either one.

Have you ever broken up with someone to find you want them back later? No.

Has anyone ever dared you to eat a chilli pepper? Did you do it? No, but back when I could handle spicy food I probably would have.

Do you like spicy food? I used to be obSESSED with spicy food, but I can’t eat it anymore. D:

Have you ever tried Thai food? No.

How do you dress when it's cold outside? Appropriately for the temperatures? What kind of a question is this? Lol. <<< Right?? Like, uh..warmly?

Have you ever watched Avatar; The TV Show, not the movie. I’ve seen bits of it cause my brother was into it when he was younger, but I was never into it myself.

What do you bring with you on a week-long trip? Clothes, medicine, laptop, chargers, other essentials.

How do you pass time in hotel rooms? Doing what I’d do at home, which is chill in bed on my laptop.

Do you steal trolley carts? No?

What's your favorite Spongebob Squarepants episode? I don’t have one.

How many different smileys can you make?:) I don’t feel like making them.

What's your cellphone's signature for text? That’s not a thing anymore I don’t think.

Say Goodbye. [: So long and goodnight.
