One is a way of thinking, the other is an interpretation of reality.

    “an interpretation of reality”… so it’s just a re-occurring thought lmao?

    No it's a set of fundamental assumptions about the nature of the universe and reality.

    Where a christian would draw faith from their spiritual deity, a humanist might draw faith from the fact that they’re alive because of the human spirit, no? A “spirit” which only exists because an absurdly bizarre amount of coincidences happened… so many in fact, that it honestly makes total sense that even the most intelligent people among us could believe (or in my perspective: fall for) that it was actually instead the doing of a being who is in a completely different realm of existence from our own.

    I promise I’m not just being pedantic or whatever, I’m truly trying to understand how there’s any difference between a philosophy effectively based on some santa-clause-tier shit and one simply based on the (actually phenomenal) evidence we have available.

    Hell, I even grew up as a christian before I gained full consciousness and wondered why the fuck god would torture me with a life that is so comically filled with absolute horrors that go beyond anything I would comprehend on my own.

    And philosophy isn't bullshit for sure.

    Yeah, but just because all then all philosophy is bullshit. Some movies are bullshit but not for that the cinema and all the movies are bullshit too.

    Anyways, every statement, even stating that philosophy is bullshit or isn't knowledge, is a philosophic statement to some degree or another.
