I am angry

A place for angry people to come and be angry about things without discrimination.

Also, a place for non-angry people to come and read and comment on angry people's posts. Don't be dismissive to ragers because I am notoriously generous with the banhammer.

Note: I say Angry People, not bigoted people. Being angry at people for how they are born will get you blocked with an astounding quickness.

Lastly: NO MEMES! USE YOUR WORDS! (Some exemptions may apply)

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.

So, of all we have it's strawman arguments, why don't you educate us and explain why we should believe in your god.

I don't think you should believe in my God, I think you should find your own god and use your dedication to it to improve your life.

Hell I'm not even arguing whether any god exists or not, it's largely a pointless argument to be honest. I live as if the God of the Hebrew Bible exists, and it has improved my life and made me a more compassionate and open minded person. I know you don't believe that, because to you religion is the root of all evil, which is why I don't really like talking to your ilk.

I think you SHOULD believe in SOMETHING sacred, because such things are powerful. For example, I would like for the world to start believing that human life is sacred again, and that has inspired me to donate to charities that preserve human life like Doctors without Borders. I feel that taking any human life outside of immediate safety should be considered one of the most horrific acts a human can perform. When I think about how unfair it is for those who's lives are ruined or ended by the greed, ignorance, or anger of another, I strengthen the resolve within me to become more accepting of life imprisonment over execution of criminals. It causes me to want to support causes that prevent it, and to think of ways to convince others to agree and put aside their previously held beliefs about the acceptability of human death for those in the 'out group'.

There's no pathway to convince this world of fucking idiots through rational arguments or statistical evidence that such things should be true, and 40% of humanity absolutely needs the unassailable authority of a god lawgiver to keep them from doing ridiculously stupid things out of ignorance or maliciousness.

I'm sure you've mocked the whole 'Without God stopping you, why don't you rape?' meme just like every other atheist online but if the last 8 years of mass murders, encroaching fascism, and rising social anxiety hasn't convinced you that YES there ARE some people who need a god to tell them not to rape, then I don't know what to say.

You have a very strange idea of what an atheist is. An atheist is simply someone who doesn't believe in gods. That's the long and short of it.

...but if the last 8 years of mass murders, encroaching fascism, and rising social anxiety hasn't convinced you that YES there ARE some people who need a god to tell them not to rape, then I don't know what to say.

If you look at the kind of behaviour that is being justified with religion, then your good isn't very good at that, is he?

[–] Angry_Autist -5 points 5 months ago

I'm not even touching that stupid as shit strawman, and I really should ban you for that deliberately crafted bullshit but your naivety amuses me so you may remain for now.

Time for you to be less stupid tho:

Sociopaths use any hierarchy to insulate themselves from judgment, the church isn't even close to being unique.

Per capita hollywood producers molest children at a SIGNIFICANTLY higher rate than the clergy but I don't see edgelads like you boycotting their movies.

then your good isn’t very good at that, is he?

What if I told you that I don't know if He exists and it doesn't really matter to me at all if He does or doesn't?

Also, I have been waiting to rip some youtube trained ratheist a ninth opening over the modern ridiculous formation of the Problem of Evil and I have LITERAL HANDWRITTEN notes over the last twenty years I have been formulating this argument, so please tell me you are actually trying to defend that kindergarten-level intellectual dishonesty so I can break out this long pent up lesson.
