The last thing this world needs is more people going in for bullshit woo without evidence

The Venn diagram of people who genuinely believe in horoscopes and tarot, and anti-vax idiots is fucking close to a circle

and yet I bet you suspend your disbelief when consuming media such as video games, film and TV.

Same instinct and process.

Temporarily suspending disbelief for entertainment and actually believing in the occult are different things. I'm sure there are lots of people who do tarot for fun and just suspend disbelief, but there's also a lot of people who actually believe in magic and use it to make important decisions. One is harmless, the other betrays a dangerous lack of critical thinking that pervades every aspect of a person's life.

and there are people who send death threats to tv writers and video game developers, far from harmless

Leave the reddit atheist thing at reddit.

The form spiritual beliefs and practices take is dictated by material and social conditions, its not productive to call everyone who responds to these conditions bad if you actually want to interact with society instead of whatever the fuck reddit atheists do.

I was born in the seventies

I have been an atheist my whole life, so I don't know why you think my contempt for woo has anything to do with reddit

I delight in the wonders of the world, and marvel at our universe

But I don't need to believe in absurdities in order to do so

There's a world of difference between being a romantic and enjoying whimsy, and woo.

!and I don't give a fuck what you think!<

Why would you respond to a stranger whose thoughts you don’t give a fuck about?
