Where's the line between atheist and oppressor?

Is there a contest concerning who can say the most stupid, inane thing of which I'm unaware? Do you think there must be a Darth Vader in order to have a non-belief in the reality of Darth Vader? I don't even need to have heard of Darth Vader not to believe in him.

Can you have a non-belief in Santa Clause if Santa Clause doesn't exist? Does not believing in Krishna mean Krishna exists? I mean really, this argument is so abysmal it sounds like something made up to make theists sound stupid.

You might feel differently if you lived in a country where most people believed in magical unicorns and wanted public school textbooks to reflect that belief, and would not vote for someone who didn't believe in magical unicorns and would try to stop their kid from marrying someone who doesn't believe in magical unicorns. You might feel that someone needs to point out that not everyone believes in magical unicorns. Even if you wouldn't, I'd like to think you'd have enough empathy to get why someone else might.

That's your claim. I don't believe you. Even if it were true, it's not something you are in a position to know.

For it to be your problem, you would have to be capable of caring about what happens to people you disagree with.

To the best of my knowledge, it's the only one I'll ever have, so I value it highly.

Are you a muslim yet? Dodgy

There's only one true God, your maker.

P.S. Can you follow your own reasoning?

Can you recognize your own reasoning when it's reflected back to you? Evidently not.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
