This is how we feel.

Sad

Faith is the assurance of things hoped for and the conviction of things not seen. Nothing to do with the proven. Again it is a tool, and yes tools can be weapons. You’re not refuting anything I’m saying and just spouting off your prejudice for the sake of justifying your ignorance.

Literally what you’re doing. We atheists don’t need to lie because we have nothing to prove. Faith, or lack there of, is a deeply personal choice and your aggressive condemnation of it is the very fallacy of comparison religions are infamous for committing.

But that’s not what you’re doing. You use religion as an excuse to batter people with your own beliefs. No different than the self righteous evangelicals using God to justify their hatred for brown people by twisting the teachings of Mohammed.

Like prejudice? There is nothing moral about judging the whole for its parts. It is fallacious at best.

Agreed. Gavin has risen more than most to the moment, but he doesn’t stand on the principles that will prevent this from happening again. I’ll take him as a tourniquet to stop the bleeding, but we need real reform to heal the wound.

Atheist here. Religion is a tool by which humans contextualize and process our existence. When used properly, it allows us to build community and pass down morals and ethics through generations. True, every tool can be a weapon when wielded with malice, but not every carpenter is vessel for evil.

This chucklefuck creates a Bsky account just to reply to this post with screenshots of a known alt-right tabloid. Bots gonna bot.

Always have. Everything to the left of them is communism, even when it came from their own think tanks.

We need a new amendment that allows for a complete vote of no confidence which immediately triggers a special election for every single seat in congress and executive.

Every single one of them with even the faintest wiff of Epstein on them needs to go.

VMware Fusion is free for personal use. Throw an unlicensed version of Windows 10 on a virtual machine and see if it will run on there. If it is not made to run on ARM (Apple Silicone) it won’t work, but it’s worth a shot.

I’m have been a tech enthusiast all my life. The vision I have of the future is the Trek encoded as a world where AI and Social Networks can be tools to express compassion & humanity… but they have poisoned it with their greed for power and control.

Now I just want to work my land and live quietly.
