Thanks
Count me in.
Microbrew lovers are the worst. What's wrong with normal beer. :-P
What’s wrong with loving different kinds of beer?
Nothing wrong. It was meant to be joke. I thought the ":-P" at the end was enough. But it seems people are too fixed in their ways to see it or I'm just that bad at humor...
You must be fun at parties
It seems the joking part of it flew miles over your head...
Uhhh did you forgot about the eugenics, reeducation camps etc?
You shouldn’t hand credit to atheism for what hard working Christians did.
Done in the “name” of atheism?
Yes, in the name of re-educating them from their dirty Islamic faith.
Look, I'm atheist too (aren't we all) but I'm not far enough into the groupthink to think that atheism can take the asshole out of people. Every group has their fundies, and pretending that atheism somehow only turns people into hipsters is disingenuous.
Moreover, at the point that people make atheism part of their identity rather than just a void absent of religion, they have created an in-group and people who can be "adherent" to it. People can do things in the name of atheism, both good and bad, once they start seeing it as us-vs-them.
Which is a little ironic, since I feel part of what makes being an atheist so nice is that we can have a little more objectivity as to what makes and breaks belief groups in general.
To be fair the real atheist extremes are all bounded to countries like China, North Korea, the former soviet union, and tankies (who never go outside), so it's hard for most people to think about until they meet people from other parts of the world.
Can you give me some sources please?
I presume they’re talking about stuff like this:
China guilty of genocide, crimes against humanity against Uyghurs, watchdog finds
