i just thought that was a part of the atheist community. a lot of the more vocal members tend to be very standoffish against religious people, or look down on them. most of them have become SJW's though in recent years

tl;dr is that the Atheist community split

You had the armored skeptics, and you had the Steve Shiveses

i thought Sargon was good cause he actually bothered to do research on his enemies and find / use their weaknesses against them

The """""skeptics""""" are the atheists who said fuck you to the SJWs

tl;dr needs to stop dilating his vagina

tl;dr is a sad case

He used to make some genuinely good content

"the easiest religion to troll is Atheism"

Then he kind of went off the deep end

say this anywhere and get some popcorn

It felt more substantial when the religious right actually had institutional power

yeah, i thought the whole point of atheism was to find your own moral compass, and not bother with the 'spiritual' side of philosophy

Yeah, I've got no issue with Christian philosophy

It's the political side that I don't like

religion and politics should not mix, be it christian, islamic, or commie

Islam skips a step and writes the politics right into the religious text

im not an atheist, but ill admit you need to separate religion and government

i tried doing research on islam. the more i read the more it pisses me off

i bet everyone has a turn on ethics should the social order fall apart

It's unique in a lot of (horrifying) ways

The entire Koran is a political manifesto that lays out a theocracy

No room for interpretation of scripture. Hell, the biggest divide is over who Muhommad's rightful successor was

i have a super christian friend who described islam as 'satan's religion'. i laughed at him years ago. the more i read on it though, the more i find myself agreeing with him. if you wanted to control an entire population to make them do evil in the name of good, you couldnt do much better than islam

It's the only modern religion that I honestly believe was founded in bad faith

scientology... but yes, islam is worse

Judaism is essentially a collection of Hebrew folktales and customs

Mormonism.

True

Although I suppose we could argue that it's just a twisted denomination of Christianity, while Islam is its own thing

isnt mormonism basically christianity + aliens?

Yeah, and if I remember right, it was founded by a con artist.

Christianity took a lot of the more complicated stuff from Judaism and streamlined it into an easily marketed package

It was basically Judaism for normies

islam is not it's own thing about 70% of it is stolen whole cloth a reimagining of the torah

Well, most Mormons would call themselves Christian

hell the book even refers to a bunch of text in the bible and torah as required reading

@M4Gunner no

thats scientology. that was founded by a con artist

I guess this is more a matter of self-identification

When you rip out all the "borrowed" elements from the Torah and the Bible, Islam is almost purely political
