The Problem of Evil combined with the problem of Free Will

[The Grand Nudger]

Believers having the right or wrong ideas doesn't depend on whether or not god exists either, in my opinion.  Right idea or wrong idea to kill the witches? k (hold that thought...).

Right idea if it's gods idea?

I criticize believers ideas if/when/because they have shitty ideas regardless of whether or not their god exists.  Those ideas need to go the way of the dodo.  Can't hit the actual people in the heads with a club...and it's obvious that people can continue to be a believer without requiring all those shitty ideas.  I ridicule those ideas where the decency of criticism is not warranted.  If a person tells me that fairies hate gays, so we need anti-gay laws...I'm not going to dignify that shit with a debate, but I won't just shut my mouth and let them shit in everyone's cereal.

How does ridicule help reduce the enactment of biblically-inspired anti-gay laws?

In the same way that ridicule has -always- helped the cause o reducing the prevalence of it's focus.   Do you think that you, for example...rationally appraised the case for fairies when you were eight years old.....or did ridicule assure you that any association with fairies was unwise?

We've got believers on here, for example...that as soon as you call their god a fairy start huffing and puffing...because they don't believe in fairies........

So, ofc, I call their gods fairies any chance I get.

A person who cannot (for whatever reason) see reason..can very often recognise the applicability of ridicule.
