yes he was a trotskyite

though im not sure if there was a context to it

his brother was also a communist in his younger days

christopher wrote about thomas paine a lot

he admired paine

paine was one of the philosophers of the american revolution

an englishman

he wrote the rights of man

but he also supported reparations and things like that

there is a good chance he would have reevaluated some of his views if he saw what was happening today

you know who is brother is?

yes

well Peter is a right winger now

and strongly religious

i was talking about Christopher

Was the brother an outspoken atheist too?

Peter wasnt

Peter was a communist in his 20s though

I'm curious what makes atheists turn atheism into a religion.

Islam is the religion of peace change my mind

this will be interesting

oh dear

somoene i talked to said the cosmological argument convinced them god was real

lol

It could be that Atheists don't really tackle the philosophy of religion

it's all about empiricism

you rarely hear atheists give good arguments against Thomas Aquinas for example

I'm not an atheist, but I'm not religious either, I think it's a pointless debate

Outstanding Red Team. We'll get you a keg of beer for that one.

I like listening to Rei but I'm biased cus it's reminds me of talking to my missus 😄

she thinks VERY similar to her

No

watching Darkest Hour
so far it's pretty good, I'm quite enjoying it

Oh my god

How many more hours of Exasperated-Rei is *this* going to be

@Charles Khan who is turning atheism into a religion? I am an atheist and havent heard of this

The progressives who coopted it and made atheism+ and caused a split that eventually gave us the likes of Steve shives

Rei can be Frustrating but these people exist and we need to listen to them.

but shoot any alt-righters or commies on sight
