Re: Technology Perspective
I agree on COVID. It was my thought on day one but I disagree on religion.
Atheism has been the leading religion for more than 2 centuries and it has been awful in all aspects. Even "science" is fully bloated by atheist paradigms that invariably lead to dead-ends and ignorance. Atheism simplifies everything out of its reach: human beings are animals which are like basic machines where you press a button you got an output and since there is no God, well everything happend by itself et voilà...
Human beings are believing beings. That's why the propaganda is so high in every organization. If you lend your beliefs to someone you are their slave.
The biggest misconception and biggest lie of the atheist religion is that technological progress comes with atheism. Technological progress comes with time, a step after another invariably (even during the powerful church in Europe). Just as the invention of the wheel is still the most relevant invention to date. Atheists are basic worshipers of technology that to the extreme think they are gods themselves.
Atheist falsely say "religion" as if they were above and that all religion were the same: just beliefs. But both those claims are false. Atheism is a poor religion but it is a religion nonetheless. The religions are not just beliefs: human beings are believers, worshipers. It's their nature.
I grew up in Christian schools in an atheist environment and I am a Muslim.
Still most of you have been educated into hatred against Islam and religion without knowing what the matter is: just "oh it's religion".
The changes that occured in Europe have their roots in the Islamic civilization. Indeed the debt is so high to assume that the West keeps belittling the importance of Islam.
Some of the philosophers of the 18th had an admirative position on Islam and even regretted that the church prevented knowledge of Islam the same way atheist do nowadays.
Most atheists will claim that they are modern, advanced and so on and they will go worship the republic, the nation or whatever fake idols they need to enslave those who believe them. Islam rejects tribalism (nationalism) as well as kingdoms which are associated with oppression.
But it doesn't bother you that every megalomaniac wins you with "we are American, we are the great America".
