    Can you not just leave it out for a bit? It’s irritating now.

      This is Lemmy. You cannot go 5 posts without someone acting like a 2007 edgy internet atheist. I assume this is where they all ended up.

          I can! But it’s often like I can’t say “God love him” without some self-assured milksop craning his neck to tell me God can’t love him because God doesn’t exist.

          I can’t go too far either without seeing a sign saying smoking kills or drunk driving is something you shouldn’t do.

          I thought we’d snuffed this shite-arse logic out with “toxic masculinity”? They said “acting like a 2007 edgy internet atheist”, not “being atheist, which makes them edgy”.

            Literally all they did was suggest the opposite scenario. What exactly is edgy about it? It’s the atheism being taken issue with clearly, there’s no internet edgy about it. If that is edgy, then it basically says “anyone who disagrees with me is 2007 internet edgy.”

              I don’t know, ask them yourself?

        If billions of people believed Santa Claus existed, and forced their beliefs on other people, wouldn’t you get sick of it?

        Religion has killed many millions of people, standing up and calling it out for it’s lies and nonsense is the right thing to do.

          Christianity hasn’t killed people. People who would have killed people anyway taking parts of Christian scripture out of context has killed people. By that logic, scientific studies have killed people due to eugenics. Should that mean that we should ban the study of science or even genetics? Absolutely not!

          What do you categorise as “forcing their beliefs on other people”?

            I wonder what the hundreds of thousands burned alive for not being Christian would say to your comment.

              See, I could reply to this with “nothing, because there’s no afterlife”. That’s what’s irritating: taking figures of speech or offhand comments based on this old idea of God and opting to be a humourless little twerp about them.

              Where does the Bible say to burn people alive for not being Christian?
