I feel like the last remnants of the New Atheists have retreated onto lemmy. Often when you reference spirituality, religion, or even reflections on group dynamics and psychology that doesn't portray humans as perfectly rational self-interest decision-making machines, you get raided by these edgy "facts and logic" kids that are extremely annoying.
On reddit, they are contained in their own zoos, while here they seem to pile up even in generalist communities. It feels like 2012 all over again.
My absolute 100% main response to this topic is, by far and away, "TOO MUCH FUCKING EDGINESS". In all its forms. I say this as a staunch atheist. Get the fuck over yourself, lemmy.
Perhaps a bot to auto ban quotes from ben shapiro or jordan peterson?
I want the bot that replies with horrendous shit they did or said whenever they're mentioned.
You mean repeating the same post?
I always find it interesting how they largely just seem to have switched dogmatic stances from some religion to atheism.
The real logical stance is "I do not know if this is true or not because it is unprovable".
They look down on true believers while being true believers in atheism themselves.
Atheism is just rejecting the claim that Hod or a specific God claim exists, it isn't claiming that you believe with certainty he does not. I am an agnostic atheist, I reject the claim that the Jewish, Christian, whatever God exists and in fact positively believe they do not exist because of its self-contradictory nature. I admit that there might be a higher power that created our universe and is outside of time, etc, but it's unknown/unknowable.
