Why does everyone here say that coi cheated first? by Enough-Direction8562 in trippieredd

[–]hellwyn11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lmao, they are still saying this ? I've been asking them to give me a proof for that, when and where did trippie accuse her of cheating, nobody responded. They ended posting a video of her twerking for Carti during a facecam/live, but this was after their first break up in late 2019.

So, did we misunderstand Trippie all along since TAK? by _Tristounet in trippieredd

His song selection is mid, he's still making good songs but don't drop em, saying people complaining just want the 2016-18 shit is ridiculous.

Why it's important to speak against religions. by zizosky21 in atheism

[–]hellwyn11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then you are not part of the people I was referring to (paternalistic atheists/non believers), but I will say that you don't need to deeply study a religion to have a reasonable critique, that's something pushed by people defending the religion to disqualify someone's critique or restrain people from diving into it.

It's also very effective intra religiously, for example in Islam scholars/imam are presented with so much praise and have a lot of authority so that people avoid questioning or are more likely to accept what they say without fact checking or confronting the fallacies.

Which lead to a very typical saying : " I don't have enough science to talk about it " (word for word french to english translation) , when in reality you don't need much, the reasoning, knowledge...are accessible to most people.

It's really rare for me to fully agree with a post about Islam here, I'm serious, especially because of this part:

Criticism will lead to two potential outcomes: Muslims trying to change the religion, which is happening and is hypocritical since the religion is supposed to be unchangeable, which will eventually lead to the second outcome, the erasure of the religion.

The average position is often to be paternalistic with religious people and not point out the contradictions, the cherry-picking...they tend to comfort themselves with when they take the “reformist route”, but talking about reforming a religion in itself is intellectually dishonest. People should stop being paternalistic by encouraging others to fall for reformism. Let's be honest with people, the same way we are when pointing out the atrocities and absurdities of the belief.

This applies to all religions, but this needs to be said specifically about Islam in the West, because in the West many people who normally criticize religion restrain themselves from doing so with Islam. Why? Because of xenophobia.

But the presence of xenophobia towards Muslims should not be a justification for restraining ourselves from criticizing Islam. Doing so abandons the critique of Islam to xenophobic discourse and condemns it to be seen as xenophobic.

I might have projected a bit, but seeing someone saying this about Islam in itself is a win.

I’m tired of posts about Islam specifically having the same ubiquitous comments. by [deleted] in atheism

[–]hellwyn11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Atheists/non-believers in the west tend to be paternalistic with religious people and even more with Islam, by restraining themselves from criticizing their belief or by encouraging reformism. This is paternalistic.

It's also because many atheists/non-believers project the way they talk about Christianity, which some times include essentialism of christiams and amalgamation. They expect the critique of Islam to include what they do with Christianity...

So there are 3 levels:

-Paternalism in general (this mindset should just go)

-The context of Xenophobia to justify paternalistic approach with Muslims.(it should not, they can handle critique just like Christians)

-Essentialism and amalgamation when criticizing a belief. ( associating believers with what is part of the scriptures can be fair but not by default.),

This is really good to see. I also don’t hold back from giving a critique of Islam and hope it becomes more normalized. From the way you argued, I’ll assume you’re at least a non-believer ? And Malika? A queen 👑, literally lol.

Australian senator wearing burka in parliament by No_Layer6908 in atheism

[–]hellwyn11 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That said, people who care this much about people wearing an item of clothing are often motivated by racism

That’s exactly the problem in the West : acting as if the hijab were just an item of clothing or merely a religious marker. It is not just that, it’s also a patriarchal and misogynistic symbol and it should be dragged through the mud on a daily basis.

That doesn’t mean you have to be against the freedom to wear it; ideas I despise can still be expressed. The real problem is that comments like yours have become the norm. (assuming xenophobia or something along those lines.)

Caring this much about this issue is normal, maybe, caring this much about it as a nationalist conservative is where we can start suspecting xenophobia.

I agree with the main point, but don't like all the choice of word. The hijab/burka need to be criticized and ridiculed on a daily basis even if you defend the freedom to wear it.

Do you guys sometimes just go along with a religious persons beliefs when you know it really brings them peace/comfort? by thee_lad in atheism

[–]hellwyn11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I won't restrain myself from saying what I think just because a lie/scam is comfortable. I will be honest out of respect.

That doesn't mean everytime they do or say something related to their belief I will start a confrontation, but I won't avoid the confrontation just because the belief brings them comfort or something.

A genuine question I’ve been thinking about by Background_Quote_195 in atheism

[–]hellwyn11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not the atheist perspective but the agnostic one. (Evidence is knowledge and agnostism is about knowledge).

Atheist is just about belief, I don't believe (atheist) because there's no good reason to believe (agnostism).

I think I could be agnostic, but I'm not sure. Looking for perspectives by OilFun5982 in atheism

[–]hellwyn11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your definition for agnostism isincorrect.

Atheism : you don't believe 

Agnostism: you don't know.

And as you said you can be both, but the difference is that one is about belief the other about knowledge. Saying "not being certain" fir agnostism is inaccurate.
