It's really easy to make assertions like this when you disable replies so that the people you're impugning can't defend themselves.

Whenever you post something like this it’s like fucking catnip to the exact fucking atheists you’re talking about. They have zero self knowledge and the most boring fucking intellects

I am married to an agnostic, but people who make their whole personality about being an atheist and can’t have a conversation without condescendingly playing gotcha about people’s belief systems really need to fuck entirely off.

That form of atheism is harmful, and is a religion.

Hey, you finally got a ref! Nice work.

Also, you seem to misunderstand the meaning of the "observer effect". A conscious observer is not required to bring reality into being. It simply describes that the act of taking a measurement at the quantum scale necessitates an interaction which changes the state of the system being measured.

Atheism is not a belief system.

Atheism is instead a building block that makes up other belief systems. It correlates strongly with several particular worldviews (e.g. secular humanism) but does not logically imply them.

The utility of atheism or math is not relevant to the discussion.

The original pride flag also represents the whole LGBT+ community, to be clear. The progress variants just highlight parts of the community currently most in need of attention.

And I say this as someone who is a huge fan of the progress flags.

Atheism is not a belief system. It is the state of not believing in a god.

Babies do not believe in god.

The only hesitation I would have in labelling them atheists is that they don't yet have the capacity to evaluate the concept of a god in the first place.

A person who can see colour could then tell how they were scrambled. And the colourblind person would know that there was some property of the cubes (colour) that they could not perceive.

No such demonstration of the soul has been made.

Here's the funny thing. It is perfectly possible to demonstrate to a colourblind person that colour exists.

Take 3 identical cubes, each with a different colour, and place them in a row. A colourblind person then secretly scrambles the order.

Well that's just tautological. There are zero atheists in hell too, assuming that either even exists.

Bad argument. If you can say this with a straight face, then it shows that you don't understand the argument you are trying to satirise.

At least we can show that trans people exist.

Hello? Yes, this is leg.
