    It’s all the same invisible sky daddy anyway, just interpreted through different hallucinations 🤷

        That you’ve been doing something ridiculous for a long time doesn’t make it any less stupid. Quite the opposite.

        Also, this is Lemmy, not Reddit.

            Holy strawman, Batman!

            I’m very far from being a nihilist. I believe in things that can actually be verified. I believe in some people and some ideals.

            I just don’t base my beliefs on self-contradictory and often batshit insane orders from long dead idiots and wielders of unearned authority pretending to represent a fictional being that’s its own dad.

              In another comment you kept linking Christianity with paedophilia, which is a big strawman. And trying to ask me why I didn’t drown nonce priests like I am in charge of a completely different denomination which I am not even a member of.

                No. There is a shitload of evidence of widespread child rape committed by Christian churches. There’s no evidence of me being a nihilist and there wouldn’t be since I’m not.

                And trying to ask me why I didn’t drown nonce priests

                That was obviously a facetious rhetorical question.

                  Yes, but there’s evidence of athiests being nihilists and claiming that ‘nothing matters’ and believing in subjective morality, which has led to atrocities. So suddenly Christianity represents the actions of all Christians but Athiesm doesn’t represent the actions of all Athiests?

                  So if you’re using various Christian institutions as arguments against Christianity, then I could easily point to large Athiest countries like Maoist China and Soviet Russia who murdered millions. Or Nazi Germany (Don’t try and claim Hitler was a Christian; he most certainly was not and was only using the label to get votes) who tried to dehumanise humans into being less than animals.

                    Nope. Not believing in religion is not the same thing as not believing in anything. Far from it.

                    claiming that ‘nothing matters’ and believing in subjective morality

                    Another ridiculous strawman 🙄

                    which has led to atrocities

                    Nope. If any beliefs have led to atrocities, it’s religious ones. In fact, religion is probably the number two cause of murder after greed.

                    So suddenly Christianity represents the actions of all Christians

                    No, I specifically said the church, not all Christians. Unlike you, I’m not a bigot who thinks all members of a group are the same.

                    Athiesm doesn’t represent the actions of all Athiests?

                    Correct.

                    I could easily point to large Athiest countries like Maoist China and Soviet Russia who murdered millions

                    You could, but you’d be stupid to do so. Those millions died because of politics, not a lack of religion.

                    Don’t try and claim Hitler was a Christian; he most certainly was not

                    He was and then he wasn’t. He was never an atheist, though:

                    During the beginning of his political life, Hitler publicly expressed favorable opinions towards Christianity, but later totally rejected it. Most historians describe his later posture as adversarial to organized Christianity and established Christian denominations. He also criticized atheism.

                    Source for more details

                    who tried to dehumanise humans into being less than animals.

                    Which the worst Christian bigots do to this day. It’s debatable whether or not Donald Trump is a Christian himself, but he’s referred to groups of people he doesn’t like as vermin and his Christian bigot followers cheered.
