I'll make specific responses tomorrow.
For now I'll say that many of you are in a malaise.
You are frogs being slowly boiled and you like the comfort of the heat.
Until someone like Phil comes along and turns up the heat making you jump and be aware of the real consequence of heat.
And you hate him for it and only want to be returned to the comfort of the slow boil and ignore the reality of the heat.
LMAO
. Oh, oh this is
rich.
1. You're not going to get anyone to respect you, or listen to you approaching it like this. You're basically saying "I'm right, you're wrong and there's nothing you can do about it!". Cue everyone else digging their heels in and pushing back. It leaves no room for discussion or movement. Which is flat illogical because you can't even prove either side in the first place.
2. This is the exact kind of fear mongering that turns a lot of people off to religion in the first place. It's one step back from "believe or die!". If you
actually wanted to solve things from your religious view standpoint, you'd not approach it from this angle. This sort of stance garners 0 respect for anyone with half a brain. So at the end of the day, this (ironic because of the thread title) appears like nothing more than a direct attack on anyone who doesn't share your views.
3. This is absolutely
laughable that you're aligning yourself with this guy. It's such a blatently obvious case of "slippery slope" that holds no salt and hasn't, nor will it come to pass. People do not need religion to function. Period.
4. This is more or less just vindictive.
Based off this I am just going to assume you meant what I guessed in your previous post which said:
Seriously, I don't understand why Christians are expected to shoulder the burden of the hell that lies within their system of beliefs and yet atheists don't have to shoulder the burden of the absolute abyss that lurks beneath all their beliefs.
You know what this boils down to "WAHHHH! I have to live in fear! It's not FAIR that others don't have to suffer like I do! They should suffer too goddamnit!". ...that is absolutely completely pathetic, childish, and flat cruel. Instead of wanting to raise other people up you want to drag them down? This isn't any different than tumblr SJW folk who want to knock down anyone who isn't multiple minoritys a peg. Except, this is actually worse since you've aligned yourself with someone who has said things that suggest
direct harm to other people. It's been suggested and suspected by a lot of people here that you look down on atheists and non believers like yourself, but man this really sheds light on how
really low you think of them.
While I do understand a lot of this is stemming what appears to be like fear and desire to protect the world, and not so much out of direct anger. Oh ho, that doesn't change it though. Not at all. This is about as low as low can get. Good luck digging out of this one.
