No, no, no - extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
If you want to blame the west's invention of white supremacism (for instance) on a Levantine carpenter's son that lived 2000 years ago you have your work cut out for you.
Yes let the religious nutjob preach about extraordinary claims
Why is it that every time I bring up white supremacy edgelord atheists start shrinking away like ice from a bonfire?
You are "rational" enough not to buy into "race science," aren't you?
And why is white supremacy relevant in this discussion?
White supremacy puts the "west" in "western civilization" - do you not see your atheism as an expression of (so-called) "enlightenment" values? Lol!
There can be no discussion of liberal values without discussing liberalism's fundamental relationship with white supremacism - and guess where your ideas of atheism comes from?
You're the only one discussing liberal values here. But you go shout some more in your vacuum. I'm bored of you now.
Your atheism only exists in liberalism-land, genius - unless you want to claim that your ideology was influenced by feudalism, perhaps?
No it does not. My lack of faith in a god has nothing to do with an ideology, because I don't need it to define me as a person.
Everything about you was birthed in a world drenched with liberal ideology - not even the Inuit and the Masaai gets to escape it's influence. And yes... it does define you as a person - whether you like it or not.
So - you were saying?
Does it matter? You twist everything to fit your narrative anyway so please take this comment and twist it once more.
Me situating your atheism - and every other belief you hold - within the fold of liberal ideology isn't me "twisting" anything. It's merely fact - what else are you supposed to be? Martian, maybe?
None of us gets to opt out of the world we were born into - but perhaps liberal consumerist "individualism" claptrap led you to believe that you could?
