Ever since reading Guénon's books, I feel so smug around atheists. They're just so utterly clueless. And the best part is they think they're superior to me. It's like in Spider-Man: Far from Home where that rich Indian kid constantly insults Peter Parker even though Peter is Spider-Man and that Indian kid is just filth compared to him. I've transcended atheist subhumans.

That's a stupid analogy. All Indian people are just filth compared to anyone.

How? This is not something I dwell on. You either believe, or you don't. Never got the whole smugness / clueless thing. It's literally just falling on one side or another; you don't even get to fucking pick your side, just like you can't pick and choose what foods or colors you like. Your brain just does it for you automatically.
