What if I thought Jesus was divine and was a hardcore racist and my friend was a hardcore anti-racist - Should we get along automatically just because we think Jesus is divine? It's kinda like saying one thing in common should unite people right away, that's not how it works, otherwise there would be just one Christian movement, and one Muslim movement, etc etc
Are you serious right now, or do you just enjoy disagreeing?
Christianity is a whole set of ideas, not just that Jesus was a god. Don't pretend like it isn't, it's dishonest. Its an entire religion, with organizational structures and hierarchy and doctrines. Atheism, on the other hand, is a disbelief and nothing more. Do you honestly not see the fucking difference?
Quote:The OP was obviously talking about mainstream atheist movements like the legion of Richard Dawkins supporters, "secular" foundations, conventions, youtube atheists, etc - There is a set of common ground between all those activists and the OP is saying we (not necessarily all of us here on board) should dissociate NDT from the movement because he's taking a contrary stance.
Yeah, OBVIOUSLY. To you, maybe. How about let OP clarify what he OBVIOUSLY meant? (apologies if he already did)
I can tell you're a law student -_-
