Number 1 was about the most clear thing said, and that's being generous. Though transparency has more to do with making something understood. To make ...

I don’t know, ask that dude in the quote

I don’t think that’s what the OP had in mind. You might be right but the rules and methods of argument are vital to civil rights today where the rheto...

No it’s not a problem the guy on the forum was just spouting nonsense. Even by his own points he wasn’t right as I showed. This was from the metaphysi...

Well they managed to convince populations they’re broken for doing nothing.

Yeah. Even though ostensibly they might say they’re not when you actually get into them you’ll find they’re not that welcoming. The ones that are are ...

You’d be hard pressed to find one that doesn’t. Most religions have something against it.

They invent the problem and sell the solution.

People seem to forget that religion is the reason LGBT people, who merely just exist, fear for their lives and rights.

You're ignorant of history and current events, this was already a waste of time.

Then you don't understand dogma. Providing facts isn't dogma last I checked.

Atheist dogma is an oxymoron.

That doesn't sound like a religion thing that sounds like a community thing, which you can have without religion. The minor protections from overlords...

Sounds like you don't understand Buddhism that well, which is understandable, most don't. It just sounds like you really don't want to accept the fact...

Considering that some of the happiest countries on the planet are atheist and some of the worst aren't that's a good start. Buddhism is a religion but...

The response was treating trouble like some kind of human or solid entity, it had nothing to do with the question. The rest isn't relevant to the ques...

You're kidding right?

There is no such thing as a spiritual yearning.

Well for one I just explained why it's a fiction. Nothing is really alive, it's just matter. Life is an illusion.

Except it is that simple, sorry you can't accept that. Religion overall has been a net negative for society, it's stagnated progress, and as we have s...

From a certain standpoint nothing is alive, it's all just matter and how it's arranged. That what looks alive is just an illusion since it's really al...

I would argue that religion isn't either. Religion is more about making their truths reality. Though IMO there are no existential truths, just opinion...

It effectively is as you can find thousands of examples of that, even to this day. Religion was an old form of trying to understand the world but as t...

That’s kinda a misunderstanding of what dogma is. Especially trying to liken it to molecular biology.

Too bad he’s wrong about that. It’s not a valid perspective but rather a naive one.

This doesn’t seem like a bad thing. I think the world could use less geniuses, inventors, etc considering most of the issues today were caused by them...

You say that like it’s a bad thing. Also you could just not take it or give it. I’m sure there would be folks who would do the same, but they don’t ge...

Except there is. This is a bit of a strawman. Autism is very much an impediment to one’s life, trying to liken it to bipedalism is woefully wrong. Not...

This is a wild misunderstanding of atheism. It’s a non position. Also you don’t need gods to be an atheist. Like…this is just wrong

No it really isn’t.

Factually incorrect. Nazi ideology was religiously motivated, as fascism tends to do. Also I said most not all. Also you don’t have to believe the ide...

most of those were religious though, trump too (or at least uses it well)

I don’t know, I think religion is a special breed compared to others. It makes a difference when you divinely chosen as opposed to elected

this thread was just bait from the looks of it, even the op’s wording seems to suggest it

It seems fairly obvious to me why.

Uhh you suggested it. Also Christian atheist has to be the most laughable example of how nonsensical religion can be. No one is being defensive and re...

It’s also not a good mark on religion when historically people have been horribly punished for going against it. Like it wasn’t even an option to pick...

That’s kinda ignorant of how religious texts are actually used by people. They make references to it all the time, the issue though is that every grou...

the problem is that people seem to forget this can manifest in many ways and while some have the good traits and minimal bad down have nothing but bad...

Yes you can. Not really hitting it out of the park huh.

This just sounds like making excuses for the text or religion. Never mind that the text itself contradicts itself multiple times and makes exceptions ...

Except you’re just wrong. Life today is arguably better than in the past, especially when it comes to religion. Now that it doesn’t hold such a strong...

And I thought I was guilty of bad logic. None of this is the fault of atheists. Religion hasn’t had a good track record of allowing people to live as ...

Again, missing the point. Even in the links you referenced they were forced to acknowledge that to say that some differences are not to be accepted (i...

This is getting into irrelevant details. It seems to still be avoiding actually acknowledging that some individuals have a net negative life experienc...

I think Gage is an extreme case because it was overnight. But people still say the same of those who they haven't seen in over a year, friends that ch...

People have those in different ways and capacities so no it's not all the same for all autistic people. Some are able to turn their singular interests...

I'm not? I'm highlighting the absurdity of his point. Calling someone who changes from what they are as dead is the most nonsensical thing I've heard....

you can't really be sure about that.

I meant that the message is naive in that it maintains the same narrow mindedness that people trying to help do. They treat everyone's case as the sam...
