Are atheists complaining about Jews and Muslims like people without umbrellas complaining about people with umbrellas keeping dry?
People who call themselves nationalists are always complaining about Jews and Muslims. These people are invariably atheist unable to come to terms with the fact that religion is crucial to national identity and solidarity. Also, they seem unable to accept that Christianity has failed and cannot bring themselves to discuss it.
All religion has failed humanity.
ReplyDeleteAs an atheist I only feel sadness for people who need to believe in mythical creatures to find something meaningful in their lives.
National identity does not require religion, most Britons don’t really give religion much thought.
Some countries in the world have a strong national identity an no religion.
Choosing what’s the best religion is like selecting a superhero from a comic book...batman is better than superman.
Do you think the Americans are happy with their national identity?
ReplyDeleteI don’t know having not questioned enough of them.
ReplyDeleteBut on my many visits to the USA I have noticed they are very patriotic with many homes and business flying the American flag.
How many homes in the uk fly the union flag?
Do you think the British are happy with their national identity?
ReplyDeleteMost Britain’s don’t feel the need to believe in human created fairy tales , myths and gods. Many will just say ‘Church of England’ when asked their religion as a default.
ReplyDeleteMost only go to church for weddings and funerals and that’s only due to tradition rather than following a religion or faith.
Personally having seen how religion corrupts minds and takes over people’s lives I’m very happy living without it.
If you delve deep into religion it’s ridiculous.
A mythical entity created the universe.
Yes sure.
Do you deny there is now a Culture War raging across America because Americans are collectively suffering an identity crisis?
ReplyDeleteDo you think the reason why Britons do not give religion much thought is because they are overwhelmingly atheist?
Would you agree that the difference between religion and politics is a distinction without a difference?
Would you agree that while the British do not talk much about religion, they are obsessed about Jews and Muslims?
Just because the British do not give religion much thought because they are mostly atheist does not necessarily mean they should not discuss the moral system they ought to have, does it?
What country do you have in mind when you talk about a country with a strong national identity but does not have a religion?
Would you agree that Jews are the world's most ancient and powerful tribe?
Would you agree that Jews are the world's most ancient and powerful tribe because of Judaism?
If Jews are the world's most ancient and powerful tribe because of Judaism, and Christianity and Islam are derived from Judaism, and Christianity has now failed in the West, do you not think its replacement is now obvious?
Why are you claiming that the difference Jews and gentiles is the difference between Superman and Batman?
Are you claiming that Jews and gentiles do not really exist or that there is no difference between Jews and gentiles?
Are you claiming that atheists and monotheists have the same political preferences?
Would you agree that you are less likely to have extramarital sex if you believe in God?
Would you agree that you are less likely to be an unmarried parent if you believe in God?
Would you agree that choosing to remain atheist is a lifestyle choice?
Are you more likely to vote for Trump if you believe in God?
Are you more likely to vote for Biden if you are atheist?
What is your view of Jews?
What is your view of Christians?
What is your view of Muslims?
Do you support restoring the patriarchy?
Is an atheist less likely to support restoring the patriarchy?
If you agree that an atheist is less likely to support restoring the patriarchy, what might this reason be?
A nihilist is someone who does not care what happens to his society after he is dead and does not believe in an afterlife. Would you say that the reason you are content to live in a matriarchy without protest is because you are a childless nihilist?
How has religion corrupted the mind and taken over people's lives in a bad way, as you claim?
