    How about you answer my question first

    No, no, no - extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

    If you want to blame the west’s invention of white supremacism (for instance) on a Levantine carpenter’s son that lived 2000 years ago you have your work cut out for you.

        Why is it that every time I bring up white supremacy edgelord atheists start shrinking away like ice from a bonfire?

        You are “rational” enough not to buy into “race science,” aren’t you?

            White supremacy puts the “west” in “western civilization” - do you not see your atheism as an expression of (so-called) “enlightenment” values? Lol!

            There can be no discussion of liberal values without discussing liberalism’s fundamental relationship with white supremacism - and guess where your ideas of atheism comes from?

              You’re the only one discussing liberal values here. But you go shout some more in your vacuum. I’m bored of you now.

                Your atheism only exists in liberalism-land, genius - unless you want to claim that your ideology was influenced by feudalism, perhaps?

                  No it does not. My lack of faith in a god has nothing to do with an ideology, because I don’t need it to define me as a person.

                    Everything about you was birthed in a world drenched with liberal ideology - not even the Inuit and the Masaai gets to escape it’s influence. And yes… it does define you as a person - whether you like it or not.

                    So - you were saying?

          Yeah keep jerking yourself, all you do is prove the point of the post. You’re so blinded by trying to be the smart cookie here you forget to actually participate in the discussion.

          It has been fun though, you’re good at reflecting.

              As I said, you haven’t actually given an answer to any of my questions yet you somehow want me to respond to some incident that happened to some singular individual 2000 years ago that you read in this singular book of fiction that you happen to believe in.

              So no, no comment on that, I for sure care less about that then you care about downvotes.

                You mean… questions like these?

                holding back society in the past?

                You know… the ones you base on assumptions you can’t back up with any proof?

                I for sure care less about that then you

                I’m starting to suspect that really none of you are truly atheists - it’s more like you are simply edgelords trying your best to be the opposite of religious people by merely fetishizing the non-existence of (insert religious construct here).

                If true… do you think this is wise?

                  No, like how you get to decide what an atheist is. And here’s a new one: can you make one singular response without any assumptions? Or have you read a history book anywhere in your life?

                    No, like how you get to decide what an atheist is.

                    Actually, at this point, I’m not even sure what an atheist looks like - considering that I can’t even be sure that I’ve encountered any.

                    Or have you read a history book anywhere in your life?

                    Plenty. In fact, I’ve even browsed through some of the Greek classical stuff - you know, the works we only have thanks to Irish monks and Islamic scholars?
