That God is not real. That we are more enlightened then the ancients because science.

I believe there is a god (or some higher being). I also believe that humans are inherently imperfect, and that probably no religion (a manmade construct) has it correct.

If I believe my religion to be correct, then I must believe that other religions are incorrect. If religions can be incorrect, then my religion can also be one of the incorrect ones.

I will never fault anyone for their beliefs about a god, because then I must be faulted as well. Though god ≠ religion, and I am not a fan of some religious practices.

Believing that my religion could be incorrect does not affect my ability to practice my religion or believe in its teachings.

That god is real

Atheism for me. The only exception to occam's razor?

(Remember, no judgement lol)

That someone else can take care of their security (sometimes for free!), without significant downsides.

That figuring out the lie gives you an advantage. It just makes acceptance easier.

That normal exists.

I would say that normal doesn't exist lol. In a specific group of people there is always a threshold of various social,personal,economical, behavioral things that happen with somewhat reliable predictability and that is what is considered normal.

Wearing only a speedo and a cape with a parrot on your shoulder as you prance and skip around would be considered abnormal at wallstreet for example. Wearing a suit and a tie at a westcoast startup company would be abnormal for the same reasons as would shorts and flipflops at a bank's board meeting.

I think people mean "normal is subjective" when they say "normal doesn't exist". Still, you can objectively measure standard deviation to measure normal perhaps the right term is relative instead of subjective?

I believe normal exists. The lie is that normal is necessarily better than abnormal.

The only quality that normal has over abnormal is a majority. Otherwise the labels flip. Probably better to define the majority as typical, but somehow our languages can’t seem to not define the minority pejoratively as atypical, abnormal.

Winners and losers, so you are right, winning and losing definitely exists.

I don't believe there is normal, just average.

I would say there is no normal. Only normalized.

It does exist, but it is not at all like what we think it is.
