Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

If you believe in any God, then voting is admitting doubt
Saying that with a God like effect is a bit..... Odd. Like everyone has to stop voting then, that is the expected reaction.
? I'm not following you. I have never believed in magic, gods or anything like that. I believe my reasoning is sound, and where I have doubts I try to educate myself before taking a stance. Therefore, I know why to vote
You broadcast this message pretty much like a god. There should be no more doubt after this that god exists. So obviously no more voting, since in his only message ever he specifically only talked about votes. Not how to treat each other, wars, ...., nothing, that is all cool, just do not vote.
What no that's like saying radio is godlike, or internet. Just broadcasting doesn't mean they receive it. But let's assume they do, that still leaves magic, epifany or just sci fi as options. No god needed. And even if, then still the message holds. If a voice out of nowhere is enough to convince you never to vote, then you shouldn't.
But the obvious message gets muddied by your interpretation. If you believe in any God, then voting is admitting human dominion over that God or gods. Hypocrite. Religion is for feeble minded nitwits
