This reads like it was written by a Christian.
btw I do have respect for Christianity and I enjoy reading the Bible as literature. I don't think that's contradicted by the fact that I have strong criticisms of it.
But atheists posting "muh sky daddy" does make me cringe.
I actually like Christianity but I feel like "It'd be ignorant to dismiss something that's guided billions of people for two thousand years." is kind of a bad approach. Maybe outright dismissal sure, but there are plenty of things that guided people for thousands of years that turned out to be abjectly bad for people, like bloodletting practices. Appeal to tradition is one of the weakest defenses for Christianity, while the actual morality as spoken about by Christ is probably its strongest.
>bloodletting practices
It's literally the cure for excess iron, and I would guess that it at least prevented doctors from doing all the zany shit they do now.
Then:
>Doctor, I'm depressed
>Have you tried cutting yourself?
*cures haemochromatosis, reduces lethargy*
Now:
>Doctor, I'm depressed
>Hm... Have you tried mutilating your genitals and baring your soul to a liberal?
*acks or lives as a castrated semi-woman*
I genuinely went to a contemporary doctor, and their solution to elevated iron levels was to donate blood. (i.e. I got a bunch of fancy tests done with the outcome being "get bled lol")
Bloodletting wasn't being used to treat excess iron back then, it was being used as a miracle cure for everything which of course didn't work and would either lead to infection or just harm the patient.
>respect religions
lol no i will not respect dehumanizing delirium
Nonsense. The further from Christ you go, the more like an animal you become.
romans and greeks built western civilization
>inb4 "hurr durr they wer ghey"
>dehumanizing
>Stop personifying the universe. It's dehumanizing!
What?
Honestly I'd be religious myself if I could find one that isn't utterly cucked and useless or completely unhinged.
looks like someone is looking the other way about all the bad stuff....
Christianity isn’t worth one hair on my ass and I spit on the memory of the wretched rabbi yeshua and his disgusting church
You're not chud anon
he might not be but I am.
Seething neo-nazi.
>christianity is awesome because the bible has some basic moral teachings in it
wow you mean like literally every other religion
>like literally every other religion
wrong
name one religion that doesn't teach rudimentary morals
Christians don't respect non-Christian religions, so why should non-Christians respect Christianity?
Atheist here. IN GOD WE TRUST (motto of United States, home of Oyish).
Kiddo misses a huge part of Christianity being about faith/hope. Selflessness doesn't mean anything without realizing we have the strength to conquer anything, including death.
I dismiss the premise that the ancestors were "guided by Christianity" generally any more than Slavs or Chinks were "guided by Communism" on a personal level. It was merely the state ideology, its significance on the individual is not that great, whatever it may be.
Sorry, I'm not listening to some troon who feeds whole-ass burgers to xer borzoi.
My ancestors were guided to Christianity by violent conquest, rape, and slaughter though.
Balts are just naturally submissive and breedable, sorry.
>girl's dog eats her date's lunch
yjk...
>respect something that doesn't respect you
Least mentally ill Abrahamic moment
I don't think borzois are supposed to eat burgers.
I think exactly like that but /his oftenly makes me doubt about validity of such an attitude.
Shame. As is normal, he's already started humanising animal. This is the first step on the usual path of deterioration. He will probably go on to become lost in ethical generalisations even when they are counter to experience. He'll support international human rights laws even when they evidently lead to lawlessness. Eventually becoming an utter bender incapable of sustaining the charitable House that his forefathers made.
Is "atheists" one monolithic hivemind?
Find me an atheist who believes there are differences in intelligence between the races, that transwomen are not real women et cetera... like 99% of atheists in the west are an offshoot of leftism/woke/progressives/whatever. The media instructed them to follow a set of beliefs and told them they are edgy and clever for doing so, this is the basis of their atheism.
>Find me an atheist who believes there are differences in intelligence between the races
Find me a biologist that believes that lol
James Watson
All of them.
>Find me an atheist who believes there are differences in intelligence between the races, that transwomen are not real women
Me.
>Find me an atheist who believes there are differences in intelligence between the races
I definitely think so
>that transwomen are not real women
they definitely aren't. "trans" == "fake".
>et cetera...
bit of a blank cheque you expect here, don't you?
>like 99% of atheists in the west are an offshoot of leftism/woke/progressives/whatever.
"waah waah it can't be that they simply found my fairy tales to be moronic"
>The media instructed them to follow a set of beliefs and told them they are edgy and clever for doing so, this is the basis of their atheism.
have you got the first clue about what you talk?
you're living in a bubble, most people do not actually buy that shit, including most atheists
>Find me an atheist who believes there are differences in intelligence between the races
Races aren't biologically accurate, if you wanted to divide humans into biological subgroups Africans would be like 3-8 groups while unless you want to group Anglos, Finns, Turks, and Arabs together. Either way while differences exist between population both physical and mental it's irrelevant, people still deserve the same rights and humans deserve the bodily autonomy to have sexual relations and to reproduce with a consenting adult regardless of biological distance.
>that transwomen are not real women et cetera
They can't have kids, but if they fill the social role of women and look like women they're practically women as far as most people should reasonably be concerned. Unless I'm planning to frick someone what they have in their pants is of no concern of mine. Furthermore using someone's preferred pronouns is simply polite, you don't comment on someone being trans behind their back just like you don't comment on them being fat behind their back. It's amazing that not being an butthole is beyond most Christians.
>The media instructed them to follow a set of beliefs and told them they are edgy and clever for doing so, this is the basis of their atheism.
The vast majority of Oyish Christians are Christians specifically because it's considered counterculture, that's why instead of going to a modern protestant church they're all joining Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches because of "muh tradition" (not their traditions mind you).
>Either way while differences exist between population both physical and mental it's irrelevant, people still deserve the same rights and humans deserve the bodily autonomy to have sexual relations and to reproduce with a consenting adult regardless of biological distance.
Then plants should have the same rights as humans.
>Immediately goes into intellectualised denials of obvious reality
What no instinctive belief in the existence of a nature/God outside people do to a mfer
To give an actual response:
> they're all joining Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches because of "muh tradition" (not their traditions mind you).
Actually a good reason to get into something. Something being geographically distant and temporally distant, yet being part of you is beautiful. To be intellectual: It's like how the content of a medium is best to be the opposite of the qualities of the medium itself. i.e. Something like a photograph looks good when it has lines in the photograph that are opposite in some way to the lines of the frame. e.g. A photograph of a meandering river, taken from above, with equidistant banks, inside the photograph whose edges are parallel lines.
> transwomen are not real women et cetera
Depends obviously on the transwoman. Some women are women enough to be women.
>Races aren't biologically accurate,
Onions rejection of their startling accuracy. Yes, there should be more races. But it should be regarded as something like genus in Latin, or a set in set theory. You can have a set of sets. I do agree though that it's important to be more racist in more ways.
>Races aren't biologically accurate,
they don't have to be biologically accurate in order to justify intelligence differences. Most women don't wear hijabs, but some women do. This is not a biological distinction in any sense. But if it were discovered that hijab-wearing women had darker skin for genetic reasons, would anyone be surprised?
>They can't have kids, but if they fill the social role of women and look like women they're practically women as far as most people should reasonably be concerned. Furthermore using someone's preferred pronouns is simply polite,
Yeah, Bill isn't REALLY a cat, but he rolls on the floor and purrs and wears fur, so he's PRETTY MUCH a cat as far as any REASONABLE person should be concerned.
Sorry, but I'm not going to be polite when I'm compelled to change my language and pretend as though you are something you are not.
>when I'm compelled to change my language and pretend as though you are something you are not.
This is the part that people actually find objectionable. I personally don't care if someone troons, but I'm not going to agree to lie and claim I think of them as a woman if I don't. And it's an insane request to make of people that they agree with someone else's self-opinion. It's like saying "address me as 'your majesty'" and then calling down institutions and mobbing people who won't.
I suspect there's some sort of subconcious belief in God as some sort of un-fully-knowable unified reality that when people don't believe that they are freed to believe anything, so they just believe whatever is temporarily convenient. Perhaps such belief is on a spectrum. In that sense, I'd consider myself highly religious.
>Find me an atheist who believes there are differences in intelligence between the races, that transwomen are not real women et cetera...
me.
I remembered listening to a Christian radio show where the hostess was laughing at the idea of reincarnation and Hinduism
>that doesn't dimish the value of the ideas
Yes it does. Ideas can and should je judged by the actions of the people who hold them. If people who believe in noble ideas can do heinous shit and justify it to themselves and others, maybe those ideas aren't really so noble.
A large number of Atheists treat god like santa claus- they obsess over details about existence of god and miss the bigger picture. Religion is a social network, and through this network has helped many people. You can't ignore that.
You also can't ignore people who use the religious social network to hurt people, e.g. christian nationalists. I think the obsession over the existence of god actually diminishes incredibly important issues like these.
>A large number of Atheists treat god like santa claus- they obsess over details about existence of god and miss the bigger picture. Religion is a social network, and through this network has helped many people. You can't ignore that.
I don't care about that. I care about constant agression by people who are so intellectually bankrupt that they don't care about inconsistencies in their own superstition. crying about us caring about details is crying about us pointing out the stupidity of it all. are you afraid you'll be among the last to ditch the obvious bullshit, being branded as a low-IQ specimen in the process? because christards fear ridicule above all.
religion is a system of knowledge like any other
it makes sense as long as you accept its founding premise, it doesn't if you approach it from a different one
unlike science which is founded on objective axioms, religion presupposes GOD
stupid nonsense
>science is the only way to find true knowledge
Can you scientifically verify that?
>no
The logic can be checked. Can string theory be verified? No. It’s still the dominant view in physics.
>religion is a system of knowledge like any other
except its claims cannot be checked. indeed the last 150 years of christian theology was one big effort to make gawd unfalsifiable. if you have no way to know you are wrong, how do you know you aren't?
religions are not systems of knowledge but infectious mental illnesses propagated by memes.

My respect for an idea vanishes when it makes objectively incorrect propositions, and refuses to amend them when they are shown to stand on no evidence.

Oh the irony
I won't respect semitic desert rats
Only European gods are worthy of my respect.
>atheist is a messy eater with thin hair and a and buffoon who gets his sandwich taken by a dog
It’s crazy that even when Christians are trying to act like they are balanced and unbiased their monkey brains cannot control themselves
Jesus lookin yoked ngl
Atheist is just another name to disbeliever. The Quran explains everything about them.
I was raised as a Christian and I am not gay or a degen so there's really no reason for me to seethe at it, if anything I have fond feelings toward the religion even if I don't believe in it anymore.
I used to be an edgy atheist. Then I saw a post on r/atheism complaining about parents of school shooting victims saying their children 'were in a better place'. They were like 'no they're not, they're dead, they don't exist anymore. Stop feeding this bizarre delusion that people go somewhere when they die'. It came off as so deranged and everyone there was just eating it up.
That's when I realized I was in the deep end and I mellowed out.
