    Nah the twattish thing to do is to give this nonsense any air of credibility.

    We openly laugh at the faces of flat earthers, but when someone says a magical being created reality we have to take it seriously and respectfully?

      One is taught from birth and has a history of indoctrination that both you and me would likely also fall for in the same situation.

      The other is willful ignorance with no historical reason to believe it and full denial of most science.

      I’m not religious at all, I am happy to openly mock God and dare him to strike me down, I really don’t care. But laughing at the PEOPLE who believe it through no fault of their own is pure douchebaggery.

      We’re fortunate to have the opportunity to learn about and assess the situation with as much knowledge as we like, plenty of people don’t have the same opportunity or were taught the beliefs long before they could reason any differently. 5000 years ago you’d be praising the sun God with the rest of us, everything from that to now is just shades of grey, and you’re pretty unlikely to be some special individual that derived all science from first principles and concluded that God was impossible.

      You’re basically just claiming to be better due to the circumstances you found yourself in (through no fault of your own). Seems like properly cunty behaviour to me, and only a stones throw from laughing at the poor for not being born into wealth.

      You dick :) x
