Try me!

If you believe it, you should have no problem asking Congress to defund and stop subsidizing anything and everything religious

After all, we shouldnt feel obligated to play along with your illusions

See? I don’t flip out at all.

But you still think we should be forced to entertain your illusions I bet lol

Not to accept them, or pretend that you do. That’s the spirit! Put a little oomph into it.

[planetcybertron]

I completely understand. Hopefully it’s effective enough lol

you shouldn’t feel obligated to play along with my “illusions.”

Then along came the Bill of Rights.

[zecarlo]

Unless you hand out marriage licenses or bake cakes.

[Sloth]

No sir. See, relevant threads.

[Sloth]

This is a thread where you get to tell me God doesn’t exist. You doubt god exists, You don’t know if God exists. Or, hey, maybe you believe God exists (we’re talking outside of our feelings…). Or, whatever about that existence. My pulse won’t even pick up, either way.

100% not trolling and not trying to be pedantic. I’m actually blatantly accusing you of being intellectually dishonest.

You don’t think we should be forced to entertain your illusions, just fund them.

Edit: also -insert gay marriage line here-

You aren’t forced to fund my illusions. You’re forced to pay for medicaid. Now, my tax dollars going to universities accepting public funds while teaching contrary to my beliefs…Including on gender. Thank you mandatory speech class telling me I must call he’s she’s.

[zecarlo]

Religious belief is a protected class, isn’t it?

@Sloth

You doubt god exists

Even you, if your faith is true, have doubts. That was faith is, believing in the face of doubt.

No interest. Doesn’t bother me either way what you feel about the existence of God. I have no requirements that you humor me, even if you think it all exists in my mind.

Gosh, you should see the attempts to not answer things we already know in a recent thread. And, ok. But, I disagree.

@Sloth

Of course I am. Churches not paying income or property taxes is a direct subsidation of the religious industry.

Without said subsidation, my tax burden decreases by a non zero number. That is a mathematical fact.

[zecarlo]

Someone is sad. I’m sorry I pointed out reality to you.

[pfury]

Which is fine, tbh. Not by my standards, but clearly by society.

I don’t really take issue with you thinking America should subsidize religion, as most are religious.

But own it.

Oh no worries, you didn’t. No offense taken!

[zecarlo]

We have to accommodate religion, by law.

[pfury]

@zecarlo

We have to accommodate religion, by law.

Fund != Accommodate.

But yes, I understand the current law is reflective of religious people forcing society to subsidize their religion.
