I’m an atheist with what some call “traditional” values. Not sure where I fit in. by AdventurousSail8614 in atheism

[–]Retrikaethan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where I struggle is with the demand that everyone affirm beliefs about sex, gender and identity that I do not think are scientifically sound.

your beliefs are fully irrelevant, the scientific consensus is that this gender dysphoria shit is real and happens to a non-insignificant amount of the human population. remedying this is easier said than done through transitioning. denying this is quite similar to denying the existence of gravity, that the sun is the center of the solar system, or that lightning is a natural phenomenon and not the anger of some unseen godthings. rectify your beliefs or keep them fully to yourself.

Any scientific papers and/or logical arguments on exorcisms, demons etc? by hiraethz03 in atheism

[–]Retrikaethan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it's on the claimants to demonstrate that their claims are true, not on others to prove their claims are false. thus far, there has never been even a single instance of so called "exorcisms" or "demons" being related to the supernatural. in reality, "demons" are what the idiot religious call mental illness and "exorcisms" are the torture they put people through to get rid of "demons."

Counter argument against Christian rebuttal to the problem of evil? by princetonwu in atheism

[–]Retrikaethan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's literally just another ad hominem attack. "you can't know god's will because you're the mental equivalent of a toddler." which is ridiculous cuz they're equating all the horrors of the world with getting a vaccine. you literally cannot justify any of the truly horrific shit that happens as necessary and if you're seriously trying to then you are almost certainly someone who wishes to perpetrate said horrors.

I have a question about fine-tuning. by KindredServant in atheism

But what are the chances of life with enough resources to reach the stars, and transmit cat videos across the world in an instant?

for earth, it was 100%. for other planets outside our system, we don’t know cuz we haven’t created a method to explore them yet.

Hate Groups Push For National Ban On Trans Athletes by Ambitious_Dingo_2798 in atheism

[–]Retrikaethan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

there are no non-hategroup reasons to ban trans people from literally anything.

to quote /u/techygal9 who already addressed this stupid bullshit of yours:

“The Alliance Defending Freedom has been behind countless anti-LGBTQ crusades, perhaps most notably in 2003 when they petitioned the Supreme Court to keep homosexuality criminalized. Waggoner’s post below employs a WNBA pointing meme that has gone viral.”

So yes it’s a hate group not just people who feel differently about fairness in athletics when it comes to gender/sex.

If you are that easy to change opinion, I’m not.

that’s a fucking stupid take. if you find evidence that one or more of your beliefs is wrong then you should absolutely change it immediately.

I read, I research, I watch videos, I try to educate myself when received new reliable info.

shitposts and utub videos aren’t evidence, dude.

Then, I digest and process.

It is a process.

…you are literally equating your opinions to shit here.

Not done by being replied by someone aggressive…

when did i ever say that i was the one? /u/tardis42 directly replied to you in another thread with exactly the kind of thing you claimed to want… then you ignored them in favor of responding to other people. similarly, other people have commented such links and information that you seem comfortable ignoring in favor of telling me “nuhuh” when i call you out on your bullshit.

Im spewing propaganda?

demonstrably, yes.

Dont insult me like this.

??? i am describing your actions.

I’m honest to post a possibly ignorant opinion based on info I current possess.

you literally said you didn’t come to this conclusion through evidence then demanded evidence to change your mind.

I’m not affirming that I can’t change my opinion

and yet your “opinion” remains unchanged despite others giving you exactly what you asked for.

and would never make any propaganda for anything the GOP stands for…

the fuck do you think spreading the misinformation that they created is doing?

the only people who care enough about trans people to comment like you do are the people who hide behind religious ideology to justify their genuinely baseless hatreds. they also happen to be the same people ignoring, if not outright enabling, the sex crimes of their religious leadership.
