No that's not my argument

2019-09-01 09:09:06 UTC  

@TEABAG!!! wants straight up Christian authoritarianism installed

2019-09-01 09:09:11 UTC  

Well in the USA right now you cannot become president without calling yourself christian

2019-09-01 09:09:15 UTC  

That's part of the dogma working

2019-09-01 09:09:30 UTC  

That's true actually

2019-09-01 09:09:42 UTC  

@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.

2019-09-01 09:09:52 UTC  

But that's rather proof that atheists are more tolerant of Christians, than Christians are tolerant of atheists

2019-09-01 09:10:08 UTC  

@ETBrooD Bullshit!

2019-09-01 09:10:17 UTC  

That hurts, right?

2019-09-01 09:10:17 UTC  

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

2019-09-01 09:11:11 UTC  

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.

2019-09-01 09:11:13 UTC  

See Islam

2019-09-01 09:11:17 UTC  

Not much atheism there

2019-09-01 09:11:35 UTC  

Most atheists are agnostic, so no

2019-09-01 09:11:40 UTC  

They're by far more tolerant

2019-09-01 09:11:41 UTC  

Semantics.

2019-09-01 09:11:54 UTC  

You brought it up, man

2019-09-01 09:11:58 UTC  

If you think that's semantics that just proves to me you don't know much about atheism

2019-09-01 09:12:00 UTC  

You don't say "Jesus may not have been magic" you say "Jesus don't real."

2019-09-01 09:12:08 UTC  

Yeah, Jesus wasn't real

2019-09-01 09:12:08 UTC  

You outright deny history,

2019-09-01 09:12:13 UTC  

No, I deny a story

2019-09-01 09:12:21 UTC  

You deny the ROman Empire.

2019-09-01 09:12:26 UTC  

I don't

2019-09-01 09:12:33 UTC  

I think Jesus might have been real, but was just either a scapegoat or -as is historical- a martyr, blown way beyond proportion.

2019-09-01 09:12:56 UTC  

Not that it matters, Christians clearly don't give a fuck about Jesus

2019-09-01 09:13:04 UTC  

??

2019-09-01 09:13:12 UTC  

Jesus is the center of Christianity, right after God

2019-09-01 09:13:13 UTC  

You might as well say Richard Dawkins isn't real, because his books are bullshit too

2019-09-01 09:13:16 UTC  

Supposedly

2019-09-01 09:13:21 UTC  

Not supposedly

2019-09-01 09:13:23 UTC  

But they do not follow any of his action or teaching

2019-09-01 09:13:31 UTC  

And if I don't agree with someone's books being factual that means they aren't real

2019-09-01 09:13:32 UTC  

They simply follow a new testament of god, written after Jesus

2019-09-01 09:13:42 UTC  

Of course they don't follow his actions or teachings

2019-09-01 09:13:42 UTC  

A lot of which was quite anti-Jesus

2019-09-01 09:13:44 UTC  

They're human

2019-09-01 09:13:52 UTC  

And everyone at Oxford who says they know Dawkins is a liar

2019-09-01 09:13:55 UTC  

The principles of Christianity became the most successful in the world, so, wether or not Jesus' stories in the bible are utterly accurate or not, they did do the job of spreading like a wildfire. Presumably because they satisified a need or two in the inception.

2019-09-01 09:14:00 UTC  

Because you can just make up stuff like that can't you?

2019-09-01 09:14:44 UTC  

Well who wouldn't support a godly figure who came down and - in his story - taught humans to just respect and provide for each other, and not cast judgement lightly?
