Atheists of lemmy, what is your coping strategy when things goes downhill?

I am at an accepting stage that not everything that happens in your life is in your control. When things goes really bad and you dont have much control on it, I would assume a person who believes in god or religious figures has their belief system as a coping mechanism. For example praying to the god and so on....

I don’t remember where I originally heard this from, but the Serenity Prayer has helped me get through some tough times

“Oh God, give us courage to change what must be altered, serenity to accept what can not be helped, and insight to know the one from the other”

I know it begins with “God”, but I found it applicable to my life without requesting anything from God.

Why would anyone attribute credit to politicians for the work that scientists do ?

arbitrary_sarcasm,

Presidents and politicians can claim responsibility for any achievement they want to. Doesn’t mean that they actually have a legitimate claim.

Nobody is mad at india for landing on the moon. Everybody likes that and congratulates the scientists for doing so. However, that doesn’t mean that the rest of the world forgives all the problems that india has.

To draw a comparison, Qatar did a great job of hosting the FIFA world cup 2022 (transportation, immigration logistics wise, excluding accommodation). That doesn’t mean that everyone forgets about the human rights abuses in those countries.

While I do agree that funding is necessary for research, I don’t think the politician who may or may not have brought funding to the project should receive more appreciation than the actual scientists.

arbitrary_sarcasm,

Okay I have no idea what your point is here. And it seems like you missed my point too which was that “people who bring in money help fund research, but their contribution of funding shouldn’t diminish the work that the actual scientists do with that money”.

arbitrary_sarcasm,

Nvm, I just read the other comments you’ve posted and it really just feels like you’re trolling and trying to evoke a response out of people. So I’m gonna ignore anything further from you.
