  • Anyone who has talked about religion with an evangelical Christian can tell you this. They have to shut off (or severely cripple) the critical thinking part of their psyche, otherwise their entire worldview falls apart. And they cannot let that happen at all costs.

    This is not purely a result of religion or else everyone who is religious would be like this?

    I appreciate you actually linking evidence but I think philosophically your point fails.

    It is a mistake to think the most popular cults are religious, this is about a pattern of thinking not whether you believe or don’t believe in a floating deity in the sky.

    Idiots are more likely to interpret religion literally, but outside of that we are talking metaphors and morality stories, which ok… I honestly don’t understand why the absolute reality of those things is actually relevant. Dissecting religion that way entirely misses the point for most people.





  • At some point you might want to print your notes, publish them on the web, or share them with people not using Org. Org can convert and export documents to a variety of other formats while retaining as much structure (see Document Structure) and markup (see Markup for Rich Contents) as possible.

    The libraries responsible for translating Org files to other formats are called backends. Org ships with support for the following backends:

    ascii (ASCII format)

    beamer (LaTeX Beamer format)

    html (HTML format)

    icalendar (iCalendar format)

    latex (LaTeX format)

    md (Markdown format) odt (OpenDocument Text format) org (Org format) texinfo (Texinfo format) man (Man page format)

    Users can install libraries for additional formats from the Emacs packaging system. For easy discovery, these packages have a common naming scheme: ox-NAME, where NAME is a format. For example, ox-koma-letter for koma-letter backend. More libraries can be found in the ‘org-contrib’ repository (see Installation).

    Org only loads backends for the following formats by default: ASCII, HTML, iCalendar, LaTeX, and ODT. Additional backends can be loaded in either of two ways: by configuring the org-export-backends variable, or by requiring libraries in the Emacs init file. For example, to load the Markdown backend, add this to your Emacs config:

    (require 'ox-md)

    There you go, maybe try reading a bit about the thing before commenting on it?



  • Rightwing atheism, and atheists overly hostile to religion are just as insufferable as religious extremists.

    If you do not believe in God as I do not, here is how to see things.

    The least compelling question about religion is whether God exists or not.

    Any other question you want to hyperfocus on with religion, ok, fine, criticize it, research it, expose the hypocrises inherent… but whatever you do nobody gives a shit that you don’t think God exists or that you think people are stupid for believing in a God and a bunch of silly rules.

    Organized religion OBVIOUSLY has done unbelievable amounts of evil, I am not defending it but rightwing Atheists completely miss the point by insisting on being helpless, idiotic and hateful sheep in wolves clothing.


  • It objectively isn’t bothersome, it only takes a handful of keystrokes to export to markdown or to any other format you want.

    I am sorry complaining about Org mode’s markdown format not being used elsewhere is absurd given how many extensibly options there are for Emacs built in even without adding in anything custom.

    No, the org mode file format is the most extensible, open, powerful file format for primarily text based notes ever made. You are simply wrong here, I am sorry.

    There are also apps that directly use the org mode file format such as Orgzly, Beorg and Orgro.
