Have fun gaslighting people. I don't need to read anything about your exciting history of exterminating native americans, to know that the U.S. is a religious country that endorses freedom of speech. Many famous atheists spent their entire careers in the U.S. and were never persecuted once..?
Yes, I know there are many forms of discrimination against atheists in the U.S., like not being eligible to hold office, but this is not state-level persecution.
Quote:Yeah, sure, we have differences, I get that. That's why it's good to support your claims with objective arguments, with uncontroversial premises.I doubt it would be productive. The simple fact that I've never believed in gods was immediately apprehended by you as a controversial premise, and you tried to double down on that.
Quote:Then it's time for you to open any introductory book on the philosophy of religion, to understand why this conditional statement is true.Pass. It doesn't follow. I don't need to open any book to know that. Fix the argument so that it follows or stuff it.
Quote:You're an atheist that has a penis, what an informative presentation of your beliefs and convictions. So, as a theist that has a penis, I kindly ask you to explain why you believe in this afterlife. You can see that I am really trying to find a common ground so that we can finally start a real conversation.The afterlife won't be that common ground. I think that we persist beyond our deaths in our children, in memory, and in our physical bodies returning back to their constituent elements and becoming parts of other things. No sex park in the sky full of androgenous fuck drones and rivers of alcohol forbidden to us in life for being good little bootlickers of the islamic trashgod and his pedo prophet.
Still, I find this as comforting and as meaningful as any fairy tale onlyfans party in the clouds seems to people like you.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies.

Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
