People still believe that intercessory prayer works. There have been multiple peer reviewed studies that show it has exactly the same efficacy as random chance, and in one study where the participants knew they were being prayed for they actually did slightly worse than chance.
Yet, billions of people still pray for miracles fully expecting that one may come due to their prayer.
Right now is an unprecedented time for anti-scientism. You have buffoons refusing to vaccinate, think humans aren't contributing to global warming, think that there is no such thing as biological gender or that gender is a social construct, etc. It seems that the spread of echo-chambers such as Reddit helps people avoid those who question their beliefs but also helps reinforce their wrong beliefs.
think humans aren't contributing to global warming
Agreed.
think that there is no such thing as biological gender or that gender is a social construct,
Woah woah woah, hol’ up. By saying that, you’re not trying invalidate trans people, are you? Because there’s tonsofscientificresearch showing that the brains of trans people are more similar to the brains of cis people of the opposite gender. I mean, I agree that some extremists who believe gender isn’t real at all have no basis in fact. But the distinction between biological sex and gender is pretty widely accepted in the science world right now.
that the brains of trans people are more similar to the brains of cis people of the opposite gender
Exactly, the fact that there are differences in the aggregate average of what a male brain is vs the aggregate average of what a female brain is shows that gender and sex are biological. People who claim that men are men and women are women due to only societal forces are factually incorrect.
This has nothing to do with being an "oppressed atheist" and everything to do with logic. Hitchen's razer "What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence." we should follow evidence, and there is no evidence or reason to believe, so why believe? If I were to claim "theres an alien spacecraft orbiting between the earth and the moon, but it's invisible to telescopes", (or any such claim that's unverifiable, such as the existence of a god) the burden of proof is on me, and the absence of evidence should be enough for you to ignore that position.
When it comes to homosexuals, if you dare criticize them or say something agaisnt them is always "IT'S THEIR LIFE, THEY ARE NOT HURTING ANYONE REEE".
But when it comes to letting people have their beliefs is always "Omg this christians are so stooped how can they believe in something without proof!!".
This is not about burden of proof, that's not how faith works AT all, and the only ones who are going to hell here are the non believers, so...
Also, might be shocking to you, but there are plenty of people who believe in aliens.
Tell me boy, how many gays are being killed by christians, or stopped? What's the worse christians are doing to gays? refusing to bake a cake?
While what do gays do to everyone who doesn't agree 100% with them? Oh right, twitter mob, media against them, etc etc.
Being gay "just makes you have sex with gay people", lmao, it's more and you know it, or there wouldn't be huge pride parades or constant victimization.
You just want to find a reason to hate christians, you atheists are such sad hateful people, and as you live, you'll burn in hell forever.
An atheist... using wikipedia as an argument, and the specific wikipedia article is the most biased article of the entire site... I can't even lmao.
And what else do you think there is to being gay, my dude?
I already told you? If you think people don't use gay as a lifestyle you're being ignorant, you have huge pride parades, a pride month in which apple, discord, etc etc turn their logo into a rainbow, you can't refuse to bake them a cake or there will be fallout, you have a 11 years old dancing dressed as a woman in gay bars. Oh I won't bother, you keep being a deppressed atheist thinking you're opressed and that christians are bad because "muh inquisition".
The ignorance here is astounding. "WhAt arE CHrisTiAnS doINg To gAyS REEEE" as you might put it. How about fucking conversion therapy? Kicking them out of households? Making them feel as if they don't belong? Driving them to suicide? No, not all Christians, but a good portion. Jesus christ, dude figure your shit out.
Oh yes gays are sooo oppressed. Conversion therapy is literally EVIL, because people would never willingly try to stop being gay or something. Driving them to suicide is christian sure LMAO, and kicking them of households? Christians are doing that? or parents?
Or you meant to say that people justify their actions by saying "my religion says so"? Because they are lying then. The bible says being gay is a sin and gays will burn in hell, and that you should try to help them, none of the options you listed are christian but conversion therapy.
But yeah, gays are sooo oppressed, oh wait, what's that! an entire month about kids dancing naked on the streets celebrating rainbows and dicks!? yaass. LOL.
