">religion prevents degeneracy
That's why Catholic priests and Islamists keep diddling kids right?"
Religion != Degeneracy is a claim disproven by a religious institution aiding degenerates who are *part of the organization*

@Beemann SJWs hate Christians, dork. The anti-religious movement is part of SJWism.

And so @Beemann doesn't even understand basic science, and STILL cannot just ACKNOWLEDGE the facts laid out.

"because a group is opposed to me, nothing I do is ever comparable to them"

Whatever, enjoy your pseudoscientific hatefest. Have a good night gents, I can see facts, logic, and basic human decency don't apply to this conversation with you. Keep the hate going! Have a good night.

the lack of self awareness is astounding

You mean the "atheists" that decided to drop one religion in favor of another?
I doubt you gonna find many of those in here, if any at all.

@tritrium No, just the ones who joined the capital-A Atheist Movement. M ost atheists are too smart to joint hat I think.

But they've had disproportional influence thanks to being propped up by MSM and other sources the last 10 years.

Hold on a second

IT's not a big deal, they're waning.

Here's something i tell religious people often, because they always bring it up:

Being an atheist doesnt make u immune to stupidty.

@tritrium Well I certainly agree with that, having been an atheist decades myself. 😉

Ive banged the drum for years against religion and creationism.

@tritrium "Religion and creationism" -- wow.

Yeah it used to be a big problem

You're right about one thing though, atheism and stupid definitely go together. Just look at all the people who still think Selfish Gene is science.

Well you know the funny thing @tritrium is that it was in part the stupid Atheist/Creationist debates--which I always hated with a passion--that made me start thinking there was something very werong with the Atheist movement I had been part of.

Because really, that much obsession is ridiculous.

@MaxKolbe I'm having trouble typing a response because you are conflating atheism with an atheistic movement saying the former is dying because one if the latters supposedly is. Upon bringing the conflating of things to your sttention you now ignore it and and purpose of my statement you now go off and ramble about something off-topic. I'm not even sure why you're @ ing me at this point.

I'm old though, I've been on t he internet since the early '90s.

Do you enjoy what SJW's are doing in the humanities on campus?

@MetGreDKo OK, let's clarify: As a rule you have your average lower-case atheist, who is just a guy who has trouble taking the spiritual seriously, has doubts, etc. Plus he's usually a male who came from a dysfunctional home. Then, there's the capital-A, Movement Atheists, whose job is to spread anti-religious propaganda for fun and profit. IT's two different things.

@tritrium No, not at all, and since they are dogmatically Capital A Atheists, it's not hard for me to see how it all fits.

Do you talk about this a lot?

Being a Militant Atheist is part of the gig if you're gonna be a serious SJW, although a few make ridiculous noises about being religious when it's obvious they're not honest.

@tritrium Yup. Feel free to join our server if you like. We've been at it three years.

Wouldnt you say that much obsession is ridiculous then?

@tritrium Not really, given the experiences I've had as both an atheist and an ex-atheist, and what I've seen and documented from the virulent cult network of capital A Atheist ideologues. WHich is utterly and completely a cult movement.

@MaxKolbe for the record, your evidence of that is not 100% up to par. about the broken home part. The evidence presented in that book, besides just being a book to rag on some prominent atheist at the time and debunk a claim from Freud, is not supported that most atheists are from broken homes. The evidence that you can gain from that book, and is supported by other research, is that kids from broken homes are more likely to be atheist that those who are not. 2 times more.

TYhe captal A Atheist movement was always a SocJus project, from the beginning. They held their purge with AtheismPlus.

And this is different with creationists wanting to have their theory taught in schools as serious scientific alternatives how exactly?

@Grenade123 Yes, and more than that. Most atheists are basically j ust mad at their dads.

still debatable

@tritrium Not sure I understand the question. Frankly even when I was an atheist I thought the anti-Creationist hysteria and witch hunts were far more damaging than the actual dangers of the Creationists. That's what got me expelled from the capital A Atheist cult movement.

@Grenade123 The science stands until you can overturn it. My decades of experience shows it's true. IT even matched me. 😉

Well its a pretty straight forward question

@tritrium It is? How so?

@MaxKolbe Reading back I have a better idea what you're trying to say. That religious influence is on the rise as the atheist movement supposedly is in decline. Except non-religious is a growing subset of the population and last I recall the church had to file for bankruptcy or was on the verge of it due to declining attendance. In either case as non-religious is rising and the religious are not (last I read anyway), there's no reason to believe the trend away from religious influence will be reversed. It might be halted through stagnation but even the religious subset of the population perceive and interact with things differently than even 30 years ago.
