But we all know the religious cant help themselves. They’d travel across the galaxy to make their delusions your reality

    Should be easy to prove your hypothesis, then, shouldn’t it?

    Provide some proof that the centuries-long orgy of murder, rape and torture the (so-called) “west” visited on the world (which has by no means ended here in the year of our lord 2026) can be traced back to something Christ said or did.

      Wrong answer. We don’t trace things back to what he said, we trace if back to his followers actions.

      Reminds me of the likely apocraphal quote “I do not hate your christ, I hate your Christians”

      We are talking about people like you, not a dude who died 2000ish years ago.

        No, no, no, Clyde - the hysterical and ludicrously ahistorical screeds being regurgitated on here by you lot literally absolves them. Your (thoroughly contrived) problem is with religion itself, remember?

        That is what you are blaming for all this, remember?

        Go look at the first responses to my reply if you don’t believe me, okay?

          I hate to break it to you, but the religion is defined by the followers. You have to remember, your deity may matter to you, but for the rest of us, it’s made up.

            Really? So religion is democratic, according to you?

            but for the rest of us,

            Who are you speaking for, edgelord?

              It doesn’t have to be. You can certainly have a figurehead telling everybody what the religion is.

              And when I say, the rest of us, I mean people who do not believe there was a dude that walked on water and died for our sins. Because all of it sounds remarkably implausible, and after all of these thousands of years, surely we would have some actual evidence by now.

                So now your edgelord arrogance entitles you to speak for me, too?

                Clyde, understand this and understand it well - a thousand years’ worth of life experience would not be nearly enough to qualify you to speak for me.

                Okay?

                surely we would have some actual evidence by now.

                That’s what you think this is all about? Cheap magic tricks (at best) reported on by people who were obviously huffed up on the best drugs available to them (at best)?

                Are you sure your infamously shallow edgelord atheist “rationality” is even capable of barking up the right tree?

                    My arrogance allows me to say that I do not exist within the same belief system.

                    LOOL!!

                    Oh… you don’t share the same “belief” as the (supposedly) “Christian” society you were born into and raised within?

                    Really?

                    Do tell, Clyde… how much of that society’s values can actually be traced back to anything Christ said or did?

                    One percent?

                    0.5%, maybe?

                    None?

                    Rejecting a microscopic aspect of a society’s “beliefs” isn’t actually all that much - which means you can drop the Che Guevara act. You edgelords are not rebels and never have been.
