Literally none of you really understand what you are mocking, and 95% of your ‘knowledge’ comes from memes and corporate news.

It is impossible to have a decent discussion with any of you, and I have been trying for YEARS.

Every circumstance is filled with ‘gotcha’ intellectual dishonesty parroted from whatever spike haired edgelad streamer you watched this week with ZERO of your own ideas in the mix.

HOW the FUCK can you hold a position that you can’t even defend without devolving into strawmanning and meme repetition? It staggers me how casually all of you just slip into this comforting ignorance that is immune to any discourse.

To be clear, I am NOT a conservative evangelical and I probably hate them more than you do, but none of you will care because ALL theists are the same to you as those ‘God hates fags’ protesters.

Oh I fucking hate every one of you but I still hate conservative evangelicals worse.

At least most of you edgelad ratheists aren’t trying to bring fascism to American.

    according to the bible, your faith has to be based on faith alone, rather than evidence. which means, there is no evidence. if there were evidence, your faith would be based on evidence instead of faith.

    so what causes you to believe in god?

      I know it’s hard for you to contemplate but what if I told you that it really doesn’t matter all that much in the grand scheme if He does or does not exist?

      Statement: God does or does not exist independent of my belief or desire.

      Conclusion: my belief is irrelevant to His actual existence or lack thereof.

      Statement the Second: Since I have begun living as if He does exist, my life is more fulfilling and purposeful.

      Conclusion the Second: Regardless of the existence or lack thereof of God, it is prudent to live as if He exists if your goal is greater life satisfaction.

      You have a fucktonne of these arguments you’ve been rehearsing in your head for when you actually get the chance to dunk on a theist and I want to warn you right now that none of them will work on me because they have zero nuance and are formulated by talking heads for views and clicks instead of being rigorous arguments.

      Your insistence on this cute little ‘catch 22’ shows that you may have an understanding of specific passages that you and your community have combed through to pick out for these ‘gotchas’, but you certainly have zero grasp of the actually meaningful parts about living a good life and supporting your community.

      We call that ‘legalism’ in my church, and it’s looked down upon.

      Do you really think that IF God exists, He’s going to be fooled by word play?

      And IF He DOESN’T exist, why waste the time? I think it is because you like the attention.
