I have no solutions to offer. I’m just trying to not be part of the problem. He/him/his, I/me/mine

@1791_mike @EmagnetTim Not how any of this works, but I suppose it’s a pretense of a gesture at an effort.

[Shig Vigintitres ▶️ @shig23]

@1791_mike @EmagnetTim Had you an ounce of humility, you might consider the possibility that it is you, not I, who have been so blinded. I dare you to try it some time.

@Centristman @hookskat I see we’ve moved into the doubling-down portion of the discussion. If it’s all the same to you, I’m going to bail before the screeching begins.

@governor74652 @iamAtheistGirl You say factually, I say spin. Potato, potato.

@iamAtheistGirl He did my all-time favorite tear-down of televangelists in general, and Billy Graham in particular: https://t.co/P1dLRwOPiC

@Centristman @hookskat Don’t mistake an amused eyeroll for defensiveness, friendo.

[Shig Vigintitres ▶️ @shig23]

@Centristman @hookskat Already with the attempts at distraction.

[Shig Vigintitres ▶️ @shig23]

@UwilBelieve1Day @PostDisclosure Doubt, openness to inquiry and examination, and acceptance of the answers that the best evidence leads to, no matter what they may be or how they make you feel.

[Shig Vigintitres ▶️ @shig23]

@SaltburnChris @MickWest @PostDisclosure To a certain mindset, there is simply no way to say “You might be mistaken, and here’s how” without being read as condescending.

@DaAngryOstrich Better red than red?

@1791_mike @EmagnetTim You said it yourself, dude. Basic fucking reading comprehension. You have to stand on your head and squint real hard to make any of those look like references to the serpent of the Garden. Somebody fed you a bunch of church dogma, and you swallowed it without chewing.

[Shig Vigintitres ▶️ @shig23]

@1791_mike @EmagnetTim Basic reading comprehension. The Serpent isn’t Satan. Try reading it for yourself some time, instead of listening to what some guy in a suit says about it.

[Shig Vigintitres ▶️ @shig23]

@1791_mike @EmagnetTim The first fucking words out of Satans mouth are, “From roaming throughout the earth, going back and forth on it” (in response to the Lord’s question, “Where have you come from?”).

So… he wasn’t really roaming throughout the earth?

[Shig Vigintitres ▶️ @shig23]

@KimFederalist2 @EmagnetTim Looks like we’re not the ones who can’t read. Satan is not the Serpent.

[Shig Vigintitres ▶️ @shig23]

@BanjoAtheist Yup, definitely Hell. Yaks eat grass and sedges, not people, so the indigestion that lascivious Tibetan boy would give it would be pure Hell.

[Shig Vigintitres ▶️ @shig23]

@TevinMacharia LIE.

[Shig Vigintitres ▶️ @shig23]

@JonathonInkin @hookskat Spoken like a gent. Hat’s off to you.

[Shig Vigintitres ▶️ @shig23]

@JonathonInkin @hookskat Again, you are correct: I cannot accuse a god I don’t believe exists of anything. My question is, why do you seem to believe that I have done so?

[Shig Vigintitres ▶️ @shig23]

@JonathonInkin @hookskat So, it’s still ok to own slaves, then. Got it.

[Shig Vigintitres ▶️ @shig23]

@JonathonInkin @hookskat You are correct: if I accept the premise that God committed genocide, then I accept that he actually exists.

I do not accept that God actually exists, and therefore I do not, and never even claimed to, accept the premise that he committed genocide. Quod erat demonstrandum, baby!
