How are the most respectful and smart Islamic apologists? I wanna diversify my media diet a bit so I can see other prospectives outside of American evangelicals , trad caths and atheists.

"Why are people mean to me when I defend the moral goodness of torturing people for eternity?"

(DBH was pretty mean, but at least he's not justifying, let alone praising eternal conscious torture).

[The Stool Of Wisdom𓃵 @dStoolofWisdom]

It baffles me that he is still using the “pray with the rosary for a few minutes” point as if this is an actual pragmatic argument. I am giving him the benefit of the doubt, but this is not impressive. Holding on to conditional prayers can be very counterproductive.

[The apostolic atheist @PatrickRilf9dk]

Eternal consciousness torment is the worst view ever conceived

[The apostolic atheist @PatrickRilf9dk]

Idk know what to say to this nonsense

Tudo o que esses caras criticam é legal.

[Vindicated Doomer 🇺🇳 @anti_realism_]

I guess “[bodying] Scott Alexander” means claiming Scott’s theory is physically impossible, insisting that anyone whose experience aligns with Scott’s theory is a victim of suggestibility, then quietly deleting the entire argument from your article when it’s shown to be untenable

[The apostolic atheist @PatrickRilf9dk]

Call me too woke but this is like “Let’s team up on a religious minority their feelings don’t matter just a punching bag we occasionally slander “

[That Anne Girl 🇺🇸⚓️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @AnneOfTheBooks]

Gotta support our brethren in Christ when they trounce Mormons, regardless of the inside baseball disagreements we have with each other.

[The apostolic atheist @PatrickRilf9dk]

New atheism was extremely stupid and immoral(in the way it treated religious people) what has replaced it in online philosophy of religion is this weird sub-stack circle jerk which lacks a spine to be genuinely opposed to the harms caused by religious dogmatism

[The apostolic atheist @PatrickRilf9dk]

“Popes used to call crusades over this” is an extremely poor historical analogy

[Redeemed Zoomer @redeemed_zoomer]

Popes used to call crusades over this. Now the Pope just politely asks people to not mass migrate and tells western countries to not reverse it

[Bentham's Bulldog🔸 @Benthamsbulldog]

I know this seems like a contradiction, but we need to distinguish *membership* in the group of America-haters from *explicit visible membership* in the group of America haters. The drafters of the council of Florence recognized this...

[The apostolic atheist @PatrickRilf9dk]

@Benthamsbulldog When was I mean sharp criticism and occasionally joking at the expense of bad arguments is not mean. I legit have stoped people from being deranged in my comment section and think some of the stuff Nathan said is schizoid. Pointing out him embracing censorship is not mean

[The apostolic atheist @PatrickRilf9dk]

None of this is trivial. Catholic ethics is bad and those who ascribe to Catholic ethics ought to be criticized for the errors they make in there videos

[Bentham's Bulldog🔸 @Benthamsbulldog]

@PatrickRilf9dk You shouldn't be an asshole to nice people on the internet for trivial reasons. Now, as it happens, I, someone very critical of Catholicism, will be talking with Joe *tomorrow* and we're very likely to disagree about Catholicism.

[The apostolic atheist @PatrickRilf9dk]

@Benthamsbulldog Again I certainly think it’s possible to respectfully disagree across divides I try to do that. However respectfully does not mean you can’t call a spade a spade

[The apostolic atheist @PatrickRilf9dk]

You are correct that my tweet is premature and I will delete because I def should give him more time for him to respond. However I don't really care about engaging in this the worship of respectability in the online philosophy of religion space. I have watched his videos and ...

[Bentham's Bulldog🔸 @Benthamsbulldog]

@PatrickRilf9dk Dawg, this is like day four! Can you understand why right after a guy converts and gets a massive deluge of critical commentary from the whole internet they'd want to lay low and not have too much adversarial mudslinging.

[The apostolic atheist @PatrickRilf9dk]

@Benthamsbulldog Yeah again I agree he is a nice person I have said many times when I critique him. All I’m saying is as a piece of content his conversation videos are bad and I will continue to point out how he has been engaging online recently. That being censorship and nonsense to Randal raus

[The apostolic atheist @PatrickRilf9dk]

Conservative religious dogma is not lel epic disagree

[The apostolic atheist @PatrickRilf9dk]

they are full of insane lapses in judgment. Guilt tripping about hell and the ultimate conclusion that the Catholic church is right about the gays and hell. I like Joe he is a good guy but he is not my friend I will not baby him in the name of respectability nor should anyone
