What are you basing that on G?

Everything.
Literally.

Everything I've learned over 6 decades of exploring the information and ideas surrounding the existence of this planet as well as the living things that call it home.

Expecting me to condense that research and those thoughts into a blurb suitable for the consumption of an incurious bundle of biases and preconceptions is neither reasonable nor actionable.

That's what I believe.
Accept that about me or don't... I won't be fussed one way or the other.

LoLz - Continue exploring.

Well, that’s just like your opinion man.

The day we stop allowing new knowledge to inform our worldview is the day our opinions become irrelevant.
Precisely, so as I said...keep exploring.

There are no gods nor devils, angels nor demons, heavens nor hells.

Imagine how difficult it is for a 1st grade student to understand what a PhD knows or to even conceived that such things exist to be know.
...and here you are telling us what does not exist having upturned every rock and root. LoLz, dude....seriously.

Dude, you just told other people this:



You see the inconsistency, right?

There is no inconsistency.
They *do* look silly on their knees.
If I had a bizarre affectation or ritual to signal my virtuous atheism to the tribe of non-believers I would expect to be called out on that, too. In fact I'm certain you'd be reliably forthright in that regard.

Heh

I think there is an inconsistency.

You are saying you will not be fussed if they accept your beliefs or not.

You are also sending the message that you have made up your mind after 6 decades of "exploring"...that you have reached a conclusion. It is settled.

You display an attitude of "Let us just agree to disagree."

You are really asking/telling them to respect you and your decision.

Which is all fine.

But then telling them to "get off your knees... you look silly"....

And now implying that it is "a bizarre affectation or ritual"...

That is from your perspective, not theirs.

It really looks to me that you are asking for respect, but not giving the same respect back.


In fact I'm certain you'd be reliably forthright in that regard.

This is not about me.

You Godless heathen.

This is not about me.

It totally is.
Even the example you gave of my disdain for certain religious expressions wasn't me telling anyone what to believe. It was me pointing and laughing at someone being silly due to their cultural delusions.

I hope there are *always* people who believe bronze age fairy tales are real.

Endless source of amusement, that.

No, it was telling them what to do.

Because of what you believe.

That's like me responding with "you can't tell me how to poast!".

Because did you? Really?
I don't think so.
Anyone with at least two synapses firing in the correct sequence knows how to make that distinction.
