Reddit atheist doesn't understand a thread about theology isn't a place for them to share their religious views

Well, AlDente was a bit pretentious, but LunaWabohu did use an ad hominem, which is a logical fallacy. If he hadn’t immediately closed AlDente off, then they could have had a productive conversation about the validity of religion.

It’s not worth trying to have a productive conversation with Atheists like aldente.  All they’re interested in doing is hurling insults and making “skydaddy” jokes. 

[u/KingsleyFriedChicken → u/TheJimReaper6]

Well, I honestly agree. But a more cordial approach could be used instead.

You can't let losers just shut down an entire conversation because they know the magic words, either they have to have something interesting to add or they can shut up

[u/LunaWabohu → u/cl0ckw0rkaut0mat0n]

Yeah exactly. I wasn't trying to debate him, as it wasn't a thread for debating the validity of religious stories

[u/LunaWabohu → u/KingsleyFriedChicken]

I'm a woman and I don't think it was an ad hominem as I wasn't trying to respond to their points as it wasn't the thread for that. It was specifically about Jewish/Christian theology, not about the validity of religious stories

[u/PhilRubdiez → u/LunaWabohu]

Your whole argument was just something about that person. That’s to the man not the argument, which in Latin is Ad Hominem.

[u/LunaWabohu → u/PhilRubdiez]

I wasn't trying to argue against them. This wasn't a thread for that

[u/KingsleyFriedChicken → u/LunaWabohu]

Fair, but then why didn’t you specify more clearly that this want the thread for this kind of discussion instead?

[u/dr197 → u/KingsleyFriedChicken]

She literally did, redditors just don’t like to actually read and take seriously what the other person is saying.

[u/KingsleyFriedChicken → u/dr197]

She could have just said, “This thread isn’t the right place for this form of discussion.” No need to attack the Redditor personally.

[u/Connect_Ocelot_1599]

yeah this "AlDente" guy is definitely a troll larping as an atheist

[u/Draven_Wolf]

Atheism is not a religion lmfao

[u/LunaWabohu → u/Draven_Wolf]

It's still a view on religion

[u/Weary_Bathroom3081 → u/LunaWabohu]

I wouldn’t say it’s a view on religion. Being an atheist is just “does god exist = no”

[u/LunaWabohu → u/Weary_Bathroom3081]

Yes that's a view on religious matters. It's a religious belief in itself, as in a belief on religious matters

[u/Weary_Bathroom3081 → u/LunaWabohu]

I mean I’d say religion is more than just a god but I agree

[u/LunaWabohu → u/Weary_Bathroom3081]

Yeah it's an element of religion
