I consider it worthwhile if anyone’s mind is changed. You never know who’s going to read our messages.
its not the first time i mis interpret this as a philosophical open minded com.
I am open minded. Your claims don’t hold up. You’re deliberately rejecting evidence so you can go on pretending death cults aren’t killing us.
I rest my case the majority quite private religious person isn’t going to argue on your podcast.
Why do you keep rejecting evidence? Admit when you are wrong. Other people are dying for your idiocy.
Leave it to me to do it in their favour because i think its not fair to tar them all with the same brush.
You mean like how you tarred this entire community after interacting with me?
But unlike theists, we don’t have magic bullshit to excuse our choices. We have a bit more accountability. I am angry because you are choosing to reject evidence at the cost of human lives, and you’re only concerned about wasting your own time.
You’re a fool. You have blood on your hands.
Note to self: please put the phone away.
Good idea. Maybe don’t connect it to the internet ever again.
Oh come on, I am not enabling anyone, i am not supporting any of the things you say i am supporting
You really need to understand this: saying something doesn’t make it true.
Read your previous comments. You defended a death cult and its members instead of its victims.
I condemn the literal same things you condemn once you describe them.
Good. Then you condemn christianity. It is a religion founded on abuse.
I have done so in my comments time and time again.
No, you’ve been very wishy washy. You keep pretending there’s an acceptable way to be a death cultist.
I condemn zealots the same way i condemn Facism.
Good, then you condemn all christians. It is a fascist death cult.
I have been nothing but respectful towards your position.
No, you keep ignoring my points and insisting my experience is some kind of fluke while more and more people die.
Yet you harass me with immature cursing.
You don’t have to be here, dumbass. I wish you would stop lying.
My sole point is to say that not every religious person is a zealot, zealots an extreme minority.
Every christian is a death cultist. Are you shifting the goalposts?
A zeolot does not always have to be about religion. It describes a person with a strong uncompromising view and tries to force that view on others.
Here’s the difference: evidence. It’s why I have repeatedly stated I am against superstition, not just christianity and not just theism. Magical thinking is literally backwards and it gets people killed.
You try to convince me to vilify 2.4 bilion people with a single stroke.
You’re pretending it’s okay to be a death cultist. I value life, why don’t you?
You are an extremist.
No, I’m not. They started the fight with their deadly bullshit. I have done nothing but defend.
Closer to those you hate then you think.
The difference is evidence, idiot.
I still think the church is corrupt as fuck.
Correct!
I still condemn and recognise all the evil the opium of the masses remains to cause today.
Finally! Thank you.
I am not enabling any of that with any of my words nor actions.
You literally did. Would you like to edit or delete those comments? We can all see them.
But shoot me cause i refuse to believe that 2.4 bilion people are all the devil incarnated.
I don’t believe in the devil. I believe stupid, selfish humans tell stupid, deadly lies. Never enable them again. Thanks.
but the sidebar of this com does say “If you are looking to debate or proselytize, options will be linked lower in the sidebar.”
We are both guilty of this, and i write this final comment mostly to express my apologies to the mods for having my part in dragging this out as far as it did.
This is not the place to discuss how big of a portion of religion it is that is dangerous versus mundanely innocent.
SnoopSqueak, i wish you nothing but the best, and hope you can find some non-religious peace in your life.
You try to convince me that that 2.4 billion people (all christians), 4.4 billion (all abrahamic relgions) or 6 billion people (75% of the world, all people who worship some form of a god) are part of a deathcult, are dangerous.
I would be no less afraid of you if i met you in person as any other religious extremist that is imposing their views onto me with such aggression, please contemplate on that.
Its a relief to know that the big city where i live seems excluded from those 75% of dangerous extremist people.
Right, which is why I distinguished between atheism and my own point of view. But I try to base my own point of view on evidence, and evidence suggests religion does more harm than good and we’re all better off without it.
but the sidebar of this com does say “If you are looking to debate or proselytize, options will be linked lower in the sidebar.”
Great, then fuck off.
We are both guilty of this
You started it.
This is not the place to discuss how big of a portion of religion it is that is dangerous versus mundanely innocent.
You think we should let them kill us. I disagree. The stakes are too high to stay silent.
SnoopSqueak, i wish you nothing but the best, and hope you can find some non-religious peace in your life.
Thanks. You too. It’s a bit difficult when the death cults are still actively killing us. Can you unkill my friends?

CORRECT. Your argument seems to be “billions of people can’t be wrong,” which is dangerously untrue.
I would be no less afraid of you if i met you in person as any other religious extremist that is imposing their views onto me with such aggression, please contemplate on that.
I’m not very threatening in person. I am very passionate about helping people if and when I am able.
Its a relief to know that the big city where i live seems excluded from those 75% of dangerous extremist people.
Spend some time in the bible belt. You will find horrors that have been normalized by entire communities. You enable them.
I really thought this was argument was going to be over, considering we both understand this isn’t the com for it.
I decided it would be more personally productive to express myself trough making an artistic collage instead.
I consider it worthwhile if anyone’s mind is changed. You never know who’s going to read our messages.

Fuck you for lying. Fuck you for choosing death.
Oh come on,
