Me, "Fine, show me your independent worldwide majority accepted independent peer review Nobel Prize in "god theory" .... That proves you magically picked the correct deity. Trust me, if you do that, the world will beat a path to your door.
Sure, I don't have a "Nobel Prize" as you put it, but happy to discuss it with you in a civil manner. Fair?
When I call for your arrest or death, then you can rightfully call me "uncivil". But you not liking my bluntness and cutting to the chase, and refusal to wade down your Yellow Brick Road, does not mean I want you dead. It just means I think your logic sucks.
You have no evidence. I am being very fair to you. I would have the same response if you were claiming Allah, or Yahweh, or Vishnu.... ect ect ect....
We do however, as a species, have plenty of evidence of dead religions and dead gods nobody believes in today.
This is not for me an issue of human rights. It is strictly a matter of evidence.
I love my late mother. She passed away in 2017. She was a lifetime Catholic, I am a former Catholic. That is a woman who never let me sink. Put me through college, bought me a house. She didn't throw me out of the house when I told her I no longer believed. But, if she kept on repeating every day, repeatedly, and truly believed it, "The Chicago Cubs beat the Philadelphia Eagles in the NHL Stanley Cup", yes, it would irritate me to the point of wanting to object to that logic.
I love my species POTENTIAL for things like compassion and empathy and discovery and logic. POTENTIAL, does not default to always.
If you are looking for human rights, I got your back. But if you are looking for a pat on the back while using logic I don't agree with, you are barking up the wrong tree.
