      Idk i think atheism is just as presumptuous and asinine as theism.

      Atheists don’t tend to fall down the nationalism - fascism hole quite as frequently, but they can be just as annoying.

      I just don’t know what’s wrong with admitting we don’t know. We can’t perceive everything and there is still too much mystery for me to subscribe to anything. That being said, I do not use the promise of an afterlife to live well, I justify that by making happiness my goal, I just can’t say definitively there is nothing going on beyond what we know, spiritually speaking. I don’t think any religion has gotten it right because how could they if we can’t perceive everything?

        if enough people started saying so, would you think theres a chance that shoelaces are sentient even though theres no evidence to support that and all reasonable evidence supports the opposite conclusion? ofc not, so why should i entertain the idea of gods. hmu when you have some evidence.

          You are walking, talking evidence of militant atheists being asinine.

          I will not be elaborating.

              I don’t know you and I have no obligation to be kind to strangers. You’ll live, I’m sure.

                just dropping an ad hominem and peacing is a poor way to engage in my opinion. be well.

                  I’ll give that, I shouldn’t have called you asinine. I will rephrase.

                  Your behaviour is asinine – and not making me any less annoyed at militant atheists.

      Absolutely, You can be actively in the process of dying and they will be bible thumping your chest.

      I don’t go door to door telling people they should be atheist but at least once a year someone knocks on my door to talk to me about Christ.
