Please don't he/him drag. Drag doesn't use he/him pronouns. Please edit your comment to remove the he/him.
For the insufferable child who can't admit they're wrong:

Did you seriously have to link drag a thread where you're lying about drag's pronouns to other people? Why? What purpose does it serve? Is it just to upset drag?
Called it.
Called what? That drag would take offense when you told people drag was referring to dragself in the third person?
Predicting the future would take a lot less effort if you just called drag slurs instead. Same action, same reaction, less work on your part. You wouldn't have to write a multi-paragraph essay wrongly explaining drag's identity in order to offend drag, you could skip right to the offense and still pat yourself on the back for calling it.
Still waiting for my apology.
I already did.
I'm still waiting for you to apologize for calling me a fascist Nazi Trump supporter who wants you and all of your friends dead, but I guess that would involve you admitting you were wrong about anything, and I know that's impossible for someone like drag.
Edit: I'm waiting...
Why would drag call you a Trump supporter? Did you abstain in the election, or spend the entire campaign season telling people that Harris presidency would be no good for them, or something?
Anyway, since you've done Buddhism the kindness of insisting it isn't a religion, drag thought drag would be equally nice to you by returning the favour: You're not an atheist. Atheists are all abrasive nerds who insist that all religions are trash and misgender trans people who disagree with them. You're a good person, so there's no way you can be an atheist. You're just a non-believing-in-gods-theist. And this proves exactly why atheists are all bad people; it's because no good person like you could be an atheist.
Drag wouldn't normally say this kind of thing, but you were so nice in insisting that Buddhism can't be a religion because it's good, that drag simply had to return the favour and defend you from any accusation that you're an atheist.
Oh, I'm sorry, drag is right, drag didn't call me a Trump supporter, drag only called me a Nazi. Though, I distinctly remember you telling me I wanted you and all of your friends dead, but you aren't worth any more time looking because you'll use whatever mental gymnastics you need to to continue to feel that you're right about everything.
The rest of your comment is meaningless, drag, I didn't purposefully misgender you, and I thought I corrected it before you saw via an edit. It wasn't malicious, and if it was, why would I be referring to you as drag in every other instance I refer to you?
Utterly meaningless, much like what you provide to literally every discussion you've been involved in. I clearly laid out my reasoning behind why Buddhism is a spiritual practice as opposed to a religion, including the fact that, by definition, religion requires the worship of a superhuman ability, primarily through a God or God's, which Buddhism does not have, as I pointed out in my first comment.
I like how you are throwing a temper tantrum because I accidentally misgendered you in one comment out of the dozens you and I have exchanged, yet I already know you're not going to apologize for unjustly calling me a Nazi because that's somehow justified in your empty head.
You are a child, drag, and you need to get over yourself. I wasn't insulting Buddhism, I was trying to show you how it doesn't meet the definition of a religion. And in turn, you're now defending atheism, or attacking atheism, (you're writing makes zero sense), and I never claimed that Buddhism is perfect. It's not an organized religion, it's just not, idk why you're doubling down on this when you are just wrong.
And for the record, I am an atheist, you insufferable bag of hot air, and your comment doesn't lend you the credibility you think it does. Nor did I ever claim to be a good person.
I'm done, drag, any time I see you from now on will only be to demand my apology, with a link to the screenshot for all of Lemmy to see what an insufferable, miserable child Drag really is.
That would be a really good point if you were referring to drag as drag in every other instance you referred to drag. However, you aren't.
Ok drag, yep, you're right.
Still waiting for my apology.
