@exAtheistRCC Okay this gave me a good chuckle haha. Definitely saving this.

@Oldendays75 @klsau1958 @PatriotUK4Life @OliLondonTV Ie, consider the gay christian churches. Totally incompatible with Christianity really, but I also see it as a net positive society wise.

[Sir Captain @_SirCaptain]

@Oldendays75 @klsau1958 @PatriotUK4Life @OliLondonTV What I mean by that is, since I think I didn't explain that well is. When you have 'cultural' Christians or Muslims, they do tend to do things that are contradictory to what the religion says. But sometimes this can work in a way that makes it more compatible with society

[Sir Captain @_SirCaptain]

@Darkdogzstudioz @BeatTheCult Yeah. It's like, I agree with the original sentiment in a sense, but I also see why it's a bit antagonistic and feels like a misrepresentation when you're not considering both someone who actively rejects vs never heard of it.

[Sir Captain @_SirCaptain]

@SeekingAnon This is such a dishonest post really, which can be exposed by just asking "Why do Christians not want Islam taking over?". Does it mean they believe Islam is true?

It's like saying "If this is misinformation why are you trying to stop it?". Precisely because it's not true.

[Sir Captain @_SirCaptain]

@Oldendays75 @klsau1958 @PatriotUK4Life @OliLondonTV Any idea why? Is he actually convinced by Islam or is more of a culture trend kind of thing?

[Sir Captain @_SirCaptain]

@ScottishFiver1 @StonerLeafy @Chilly_MIV @BeatTheCult Yeah. Well, I have more gripes with specific religions than theism as a whole but yeah.

@SadikuZyfer @hsczbnsdwv https://t.co/bN0LwpZm0f If we combine atheism with agnostic and 'don't know', that makes up 30% of europe. The majority are Roman Catholic.

[Sir Captain @_SirCaptain]

@StonerLeafy @ScottishFiver1 @Chilly_MIV @BeatTheCult 1. Where did I say life is balanced. 2. What does that even mean? 3. What does the fact we're on a floating spec of dust have to do with being balanced? I think you need to take a break from the bong tbh.

[Sir Captain @_SirCaptain]

@StonerLeafy @ScottishFiver1 @Chilly_MIV @BeatTheCult You gonna actually put some effort into showing me why? Because I'm doing my best here to explain my thinking in a clear way. You on the other hand seem like you can't be fucked. So if that's the case we can end it here.

[Sir Captain @_SirCaptain]

@VoiceBeliever @atheistsposting I know right! That's a pretty absurd idea. Good thing that's entirely not what atheists believe.

[Sir Captain @_SirCaptain]

@StonerLeafy @ScottishFiver1 @Chilly_MIV @BeatTheCult Lmao

[Sir Captain @_SirCaptain]

@ScottishFiver1 @StonerLeafy @Chilly_MIV @BeatTheCult I don't think you've read what I've said, as I don't think I've been so unclear as for you to rightly misinterpret what I'm saying in such a way.

I'm simply saying that the word 'atheism' only exists because theism exists. I'm also in agreement that we'd be better off without it

[Sir Captain @_SirCaptain]

@amocoboy @BeatTheCult Hey it's not atheist churches that have a track record for molesting children :)

[Sir Captain @_SirCaptain]

@StonerLeafy @Chilly_MIV @ScottishFiver1 @BeatTheCult What?

[Sir Captain @_SirCaptain]

@StonerLeafy @Chilly_MIV @ScottishFiver1 @BeatTheCult Well yeah I think I've explained why I both agree with you on that but also disagree in a sense. If theism never existed, we'd absolutely all be atheists. But the word atheist would exist and no one would even express the concept.

[Sir Captain @_SirCaptain]

@tdw_gospel @Lilith_Atheist Philosophical views aside, I don't think that's an accurate description of what empathy and sympathy mean.

Also not sure how you determined that atheist morality is pure empathy and no sympathy by your definition?

[Sir Captain @_SirCaptain]

@StonerLeafy @Chilly_MIV @ScottishFiver1 @BeatTheCult Since I made up Vhera just now, everyone in the world would be an avherist by this definition. And that's true, but it's also a useless term since no one actually believes in the concept it's rejecting. Hope that makes sense

[Sir Captain @_SirCaptain]

@StonerLeafy @Chilly_MIV @ScottishFiver1 @BeatTheCult How so? I'm not saying theism is required for the word to make sense technically, but it is required for it to have utility.

Ie. If I say I'm an avherist, someone who doesn't believe in Vhera, the sentient triangle that lives underground, that doesn't serve much utility.
