Few things that annoy me and I'm going to let out here as I want to write something which isn't my Philosophy essay.
I'm a Christian but I do hate religion! Who needs religion when you have Jesus?
Dear me. What the hell. You're religious. You have a God you pray to, you have religious ethics to pertain to, you have a divine model you respect. You are religious. End of. I don't care how much you hate the Church with all the bad things it does.
Do you want to know something to? A third of the world's population is Christian and this can be explained Historically. The Church getting strength back in Roman times, how Catholicism dominated Europe, how white colonies expanded across the world taking their Christianity with them plus missionaries... If it wasn't for the Church you most likely wouldn't be a Christian to be fair.
I couldn't care if you hate the Church, it's highly understandable. However, you are religious. End of.
I hate politics so I don't know anything about it - here's my opinion of politics!
What the hell? How the fuck can you announce that you have no knowledge about something and then give an opinion on it? It's almost like telling a doctor 'hey, sorry I know nothing about medicine because I hate the sciences, however I think your diagnosis of cancer is bullshit'. You're talking shit - you are speculating and advancing an opinion on something which you shouldn't be talking about. Why? Because you said it yourself - you're ignorant on that topic.
Philosophy is pointless!
If people are talking about academic arena of Philosophy, fine, I've got no issue with you placing priority on other things.
However, when you say straight up indiscriminately, 'Philosophy is pointless!', to me you look like a fool.
Have you ever discussed art, language, aesthetics, religion, politics? Then you've discussed Philosophy. Philosophy discusses so much, yet when someone dabbles their toes in the shallow waters before the ocean of epistemology, they criticise it because it's too cold, harsh, precise and pointless to them. However, everyone has discussed Philosophy. Philosophy includes art, language, aesthetics (c'mon UG -AX7 isn't metal? Yeah, that was a discussion Philosophical in nature), religion, politics and so much more - topics which if you haven't discussed at some point by now in your life you might as well top yourself off as you're a boring person.
You've willingly engaged in these conversations - and probably enjoyed them. You'd be willing to do it again, and you regularly do. You take part in Philosophy all the time, yet you sit back and have the audacity to say 'Philosophy is pointless!'
You know what, you're pointless.
Also, let's count up what Philosophy has brought to the world: Linguistics, Theology, Philogy, History, Maths, Science... And I'm not joking. These things can stem back to Philosophy or is Philosophy.
I don't care if you're not interested in academic Philosophy, just please, don't be so silly.
And I've now got myself into a writing mode so I'm now able to finish off my essay. If you bothered to read this pretentious rant, kudos.
