Because I don't believe what they believe, and since I care about my freedom of thought and speech, I will fight against Christian authoritarianism, because they would restrict my freedom
Christians INVENTED your freedom.
No they did not
Anyone with a dogma will want that dogma to be their basis of society.
Oh, so it's GOD who gave you your freedoms!
?
I'm an atheist, remember?
And an idiot. If your rights are not manmade, then what are they?
No one gives me freedom
I have freedom, it can only be taken from me
Not given
Then you have none.
lol
"You have no freedom if someone is bigger and badder"
They are manmade, but they have been decided over years of history, societal progression, and instinctual intuition.
We are man, we have made these concepts. Therefore they are manmade.
We are also a product of nature
So they are also natural
It seems that you argue that a christian president would automatically lead to christian authoritarianism @ETBrooD Or am I reading that wrong?
No that's not my argument
Well in the USA right now you cannot become president without calling yourself christian
That's part of the dogma working
That's true actually
@Lios Can you give me chapter and verse on that? I've literally never seen it come up in the last 16 years of elections.
But that's rather proof that atheists are more tolerant of Christians, than Christians are tolerant of atheists
@ETBrooD Bullshit!
That hurts, right?
Every single attempted nominee who dared to call themselves anything other than a sect of Christianity has gone absolutely horribly in the polls, regardless of their promises and ideals
Christians are more tolerant of atheists, because they failed to suppress the rebellion, because they wanted to be more subjugative by passive law, rather than oppressive force.
See Islam
Not much atheism there
Most atheists are agnostic, so no
They're by far more tolerant
Semantics.
You brought it up, man
If you think that's semantics that just proves to me you don't know much about atheism
You don't say "Jesus may not have been magic" you say "Jesus don't real."
Yeah, Jesus wasn't real
You outright deny history,
No, I deny a story
