I'm so done

I'm so done
I wrote an update in one of my social media profiles about me debating with my dad about religions and humanism.

I of course implied that I'm a humanist and pointed out the flawed logic in my dad's argument (he's a theist)

Then this person, a friend of mine who's also a theist, came and commented how he see humanism is just like the 5 monkeys 1 ladder experiment / analogy, along with a picture of it. Which is just super ignorant because he didn't realize that the analogy or experiment in the picture actually illustrated how theistic societies work, thus contradicting his own belief.

I don't hate the guy, I understand why he has became so ignorant because of his heavy theistic bias. But seriously.

Does your mom let you have fancy drinks?
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Because everyone on social media has to know about debates with your dad, right?

First, friend, as in friend? You know, these people you actually met at some point and decided there's a mutual attraction? Or friend as in artificial smiley face facebook creature?

Secondly, what do you expect to find on the marketing profile generator? It's useless and dangerous on the side to lay bare any personal issues there.

You should know how tempting it is to vent somewhere after personally facing major ignorance Tongue

My dad said something alonh the line of "Without hell, how does a thief who didn't get caught got punished, isn't that unfair?" like seriously.
