if you make it illegal expect opposition

and guess who's the one that would have caused that opposition in the first place?

not the theists.

@Perception Why not? Christians, Jews, and Muslims have killed and raped people in the name of their gods.

And they still do it to this day under public notice.

humans have killed and raped people

its politics and shouldn't be surprising

humans still do it to this very day

what you say about theists is applicable to every human

@Perception Gods and Religions can't be held accountable for the crimes they pull?

That's like saying I get diplomatic immmunity for having people killed because I'm President.

religions are belief systems

they do not commit acts

you can believe in a belief system and do the act that this belief system calls for

@Perception But people *do* commit murder to suit their religious beliefs.

but then you are a follower of that belief system

you are not the entirety of the belief system embodied into one being

people commit murder to suit political beliefs

people commit mass shootings to suit ethnic beliefs

i dont see your point

@Perception Religion is not something people like you would see as some sort of criminal organization, meaning the crimes of Christianity/Judaism/Islam fly over people's heads and under the radar.

I just explained how the act of a self proclaimed believer is not the act of the belief system itself

If you abolish religion and worked to kill theists then that is your crime

not atheism

I'm agnostic.

its hypothetical

Anyway, I'm not out to kill theists. I'd rather have them arrested.

my point is that

what you do is not what your belief system does

because otherwise that justifies punishment of the many for the actions of the few

also agnosticism is a knowledge claim

you can be an agnostic atheist and still be militant anti-theist

But that doesn't stop me from having the theists arrested for the crimes they've tried to commit, now does it?

what crime did they commit?

Agnosticism, I think, is claiming one does not know

Pretty much the opposite of a knowledge claim

yes, its a knowledge claim so one can be agnostic atheist or agnostic theist

thats not what I mean by knowledge claim..

🆙 | **Perception leveled up!**

What is a knowledge claim?

a claim about how certain one is about something @♠ Jokeward ♠
