It always amusing when these vehemently anti-religion people roll around.

Why, you ask?

Because they are so positively religious about thier anti-religion/atheism, it's just deliciously ironic.

You know that every post I've made after about six PM EST for a while has been a drunk post, right? I get drunk every night; I just proofread my posts. It's a drunkard's experience.

Huh.

I... don't know what to make of this thread.

Nightshine: FUCK HOMOPHOBES, and also religions.

Everyone else: NO FUCK YOU!

I mean, what?

Is this really the level of maturity we have going here?

There were some lulz to be had, but it was hard to make them out through the pain of watching every single person in this thread smash their heads against the proverbial brick wall.

I mean, shit, Nightshine may be an ass, and as an (assumedly) atheist highschool kid he's got a good god rage boner going on, but really NPF?

Your response is the blanket statement we've been hearing from people trying to defend institutionalized homophobia, racism, and other not-good racisms since the beginning of time? "Why can't you be tolerant of our intolerance!?"

Really?

Really really?

Jesus.

Actually, what I read, most of it was: Blaming everything on religion is pretty dumb, and hating religion the way you are makes you just as intolerant as the other intolerant people you're hating on. Also, that religion wasn't so much to blame as people just being ignorant jackasses in general. I don't think I saw anyone defending intolerance so much as making clear the distinction between intolerance and religion, and pointing out that area of hypocrisy in his post. Oh, and there was some stuff about anarchy.

Krylo · 12-18-2009, 01:37 AM

I don't know if blaming homophobia, specifically, on religion could really be considered dumb, all things considered. Maybe a little short sighted, maybe a little ignorant of the human condition, but not flat out dumb. And even then, only when you add the modifier "all" to it.

However, I don't think we're allowed to discuss that here. Point is he didn't even mention religion until the last two sentences. The entire rest of his post was all about how he hates homophobes/racists/other intolerant people fucking his shit up.

The first response he got (and most of the rest of them, echoed it) was "And violent rages don't sound like a tolerant person to me," which just smacks of "You're not allowed to be tolerant unless you're also tolerant of intolerance," complaining about his religious intolerance aside.

Further, did we need 40+ posts of the same thing in 2 hours?

I mean the guy finally shows a modicum of respect for humanity, after you all dogpiled on him for defending misogynistic internet musicians, and he gets dogpiled again because he's, holy shit, a highschool atheist that doesn't like religion.

How many of us can, honestly, really, truly say that they haven't said the same thing in the past?

Don't make me go dig up threads from when religion discussion was allowed for awhile there.

I've had someone use this argument against me seriously before. It's incredibly depressing.

See Kuro's "Welcome to being a teenager. Don't worry, you grow out of it." post.

I think the main thing was, and I told this to him myself earlier today, that the persona he's created on the forum isn't exactly impressing a lot of people, so, while he may have good points or whatever, people are far more likely to be dickish to him as a result, and his best bet is just to slowly work his way out of that first impression.

I didn't think my single post in this thread was very lumpable.
