TikTok says it’s not the algorithm, teens are just pro-Palestine — The company denied allegations that it has been promoting pro-Palestine content in an effort to sway American opinion::In a blog post, the company denied allegations that it has been promoting pro-Palestine content in an effort to sway American opinion.
I understand as a fellow atheist, but I would just say try to have some compassion for people as a whole, even if they believe in stupid sky daddys.
After what I went through at the hands of my ultra religious parents, at the hands of the Catholic church I went to, and finally at the hands of the conversion therapy religious camp I was imprisoned in, I can tell you right now I have absolutely zero capacity for any compassion for any believer what so ever.
If I could press a button and kill them all I’d do it in a heartbeat. No believer deserves even the tiniest iota of your sympathy or compassion. I promise you one atheist to another, they feel the same way about you.
I feel for your experiences but again want to stress that not all of them are unsaveable, many were just born into it and brainwashed throughout their lifetime and never actually given any alternative.
I used to be a very angry atheist as well, and I will definitely still debate theists and point out the idiocy in religion, but I also don’t particularly blame them for being that way.
Obviously there are many examples of shit people who wield it to hurt others, as you’ve clearly experienced, but they’re not all like that, and were not going to win any/many over by saying we want them all to die, even if I agree that the world would be better off if religion didn’t exist.
A common one I see is the “how can you have morals without religion” which… Ugh but people literally often aren’t ever given an opposing viewpoint in a reasonable and rational manner.
Anyway, hope you’re better in life after getting away from that garbage.
It literally says it’s good to kill atheists in their holy book, regardless of which abrahamic religion you choose. And while, yes, Christians, Muslims, and Jews can pick and choose what they follow, but in the case of Muslims, clearly you have to see the threat. If you don’t recognize the potential, or hear how they demonize atheists, I really can’t help you. You can allow yourself to be lulled into a false sense of security by some of them that pretend to be better, but I won’t.
Right, I’m aware, but we should strive to be more moral then them, that includes not wishing for their death just because of their religion.
See, I can’t separate the FACT that their religion calls for our death in their ‘holy and perfect word from god’ called the bible and they follow it still despite that. Their religion also justifies misogyny, slavery, and a myriad of completely immoral things.
Again, well aware, but the majority of religious folk in civilized countries discard those aspects. That is definitely a reason we have to fight back from them holding power or indoctrinating more children, but that still doesn’t justify calling for all of them to die.
