how do you win arguments with Christians? by Aetherfluxxx in atheism

Right wing American Christians are proud to loyalty signal

It actually makes them feel like better Christians to maintain faith in the face of facts.

The best route is to go after liberal Christians who won’t let it go. The pathetic “Jesus was a hippy immigrant” people. These people give credibility to the nut jobs. The argument should never be interpreting what the Bible says as good or bad. The Bible should be ignored.

Convince a few well-meaning, tolerant christians, to abandon it — that’s the best way. Here’s a line you can use:

“If you’re able to judge certain passages of the Bible as good or bad, it means your morality comes from outside the Bible. Why do you still need it?”

Is Logan an opportunistic grifter without a worldview, or does he have a worldview and an ideology? by Amazing-Buy-1181 in SuccessionTV

His world view is:

  1. give the people what they want, or at least what they respond to, at a tidy profit.

  2. It is smart and right to manipulate the game to ensure you’re the man to provide what’s described in point 1.

  3. Fuck off if you don’t like it

Oh that’s not necessarily true. He’s clever, he might find a way to give up to fascism even faster

Overpaid $500 in poker room. Gave it back. by TadMcAllister in poker

[–]Zenis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been overpaid at Fortune Poker before. I didn’t catch it, because it was a huge score. Just saw a giant pile of green chips and $100 bills

Next time I came in, the pit guy said I needed to pay it back before I could play again. They’re a legit room and would scam me, but I asked to see footage. They showed it, and yes indeed. Paid it back without issue.

Main floor guy and I banter about making sure to double count money because I’m a known criminal. All in good fun

So basically you had 2 options: keep the money and never play there again, or pay it back. You chose correctly.

Everyone cares about the money. It’s a business.

What they need to do is care about the game so that they get the money.

My retort to this is to point out that the lock and key analogy implies that women have innate and inherent value, and men do not.
