It would be possible . With natural religion , or deism , there ' s the belief that there is a god , but this God is an absent God and not at all like the God that ' s depicted in traditional religions . Since existentialist like Sartre , say that existence precedes essence , this could still be compatible with deism if the God was sort of an uncaring or spontaneous God .

And incels repeat this behaviour with every woman that is so unfortunate to meet their interest . Where would most of us be right now , if we ' d never progressed beyond that stage ? Where ' s the progress ? Also , many are shy , and due to a lack of real world experience , are learning about love from escapist media .

Any lessons learned , will only have them searching for another protagonistRather than look inward and tackle their problems . Funny how incels are reported to largely prefer media that doesn ' t even remotely touch upon the idea of looking inward and tackling your problems , unlike normal people .
