I understand not believing in God, but if you don't believe in demons, you're likely being victimized by one.
Well that's the dumbest fucking thing I've ever heard
Really? Because I would say your response is dumber. You're just throwing insults like a child.
When you're dealing with people that believe in childish made-up bullshit, you have to dumb down your level of discussion.
Mmm nope. My response makes sense. Your circular logic is objectively fucking stupid. Sorry you were brainwashed, but the real world actually exists and is completely free from supernatural bullshit of any kind.
You have made no effort to understand anything other than your own perspective. Dunning-Kruger club, represent.
It's really fucking funny that you can confidently say things like "if you don't believe in LITERAL DEMONS that means you're possessed by one!" while being aware of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
Well look at yourself, taunting, insulting, mocking. Do you think you might have some hitchhikers in your psyche? What possessed you to go online and be an asshole today?
Well I clicked on an article that indicated we are (painfully slowly) advancing as a civilization, and there's a fundie dipshit in the comments hollering about demons. I felt, and continue to feel, the desire to call out your ridiculous fantasy horseshit. You are confusing reality with a series of children's tales from a thousand years ago.
You are arguing with your own fantasy about what you think I believe, and you think I'm an idiot. That's fundie projection right there.
And you are spouting mythology as if it had basis in fact. I would say the indoctrination into supernatural belief causes far more harm, and is far dumber, than tossing about some insults to an internet stranger.
Go LARP with your own kind.
You're triggered by the word demon. That's the only mythology I've mentioned. How sad.
You are talking about "demon" on an atheist magazine, what else did you expect? Why don't you rephrase for clarity? Because otherwise I see no discussion possible.
I should limit my speech because you're incapable of increasing your understanding? No, I won't be doing that.
So far you have taken a lot of liberties talking down to people.
Can you rephase your arguments by not using the word "asshole" or can you not?
Actually no. It's the best word for this situation.
Don't say that I didn't give you a fair chance.
Then it's settled. By your own admission you cannot follow the very first article of "Rule 1".
Quick question, why is it okay to be an asshole here but not okay to call out assholes?
