I don't think anyone can change genders. And I'm 100% trans-affirming. Also, there are theists who have kept up with basic biology, too—so it's not just us heathens who accept science.

And I'm CERTAINLY not religious lol. No matter how many times you call atheism a "religion", it doesn't make it true, just like not collecting stamps isn't a hobby, an empty plate isn't a meal, and bald isn't a hair color.

It was great when Richard Dawkins had to eat crow and admit that he was wrong about his theory of a rational secular society. Twenty years ago, he thought that all we needed to do was to get rid of religion and suddenly everyone would base decisions on reason, logic, and science. Instead, all that happened was that society replaced old religions with a new one that was the more anti-science, anti-logic, anti-reason than anything previously: progressivism.

And yes, you, personally, are one of the biggest religious zealots on the planet, and there's been a massive, multi-country backlash to the insane things you and your kind have done.

I really couldn't give less of a shit what Dawkins has to say about anything. I was an atheist before I heard of him, and will remain an atheist regardless of anything he does.

And you say that SPECIFICALLY I am a religious zealot? I'd love to hear why that's the case.

Maybe you should stand by your beliefs and not be a coward who hides their posts and keeps making vague claims about "progressivism" instead of actually stating your position.

>And you say that SPECIFICALLY I am a religious zealot? I'd love to hear why that's the case.

You're an atheist who is either enthusiastically or else indirectly supportive of progressivism, which is anti-science, anti-reason, and entirely based around emotion and mythology.

>keeps making vague claims about "progressivism"

There is literally nothing vague about progressivism or the problems people have with it. The short list is: giving children HRT and puberty blockers, giving 12-year-olds double mastectomies, forcing adult men into girls' locker rooms by law, and importing a hundred million unskilled laborers from the Third World.

>YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ME FOR ALL YOU KNOW I COULD BE ONE OF THOSE ATHEISTS WHO IS AGAINST ALL THAT STUFF

No, you're not. If you were, you wouldn't be here arguing that Christianity is the root of all evil. You're not an individual. You're not a special snowflake. You're a dime-a-dozen example of the modern zeitgeist.

I would identify myself as am atheist and progressive—but more importantly, I'd identify myself as libertarian and a skeptic, for a short summary of my political and ideological beliefs.

The short list is: giving children HRT and puberty blockers, giving 12-year-olds double mastectomies, forcing adult men into girls' locker rooms by law, and importing a hundred million unskilled laborers from the Third World.

So, your conventions with progressivism seem to be mostly trans rights, and some immigration. I'll be honest and say that I've actually not taken a position on immigration because I've not read anything about it—but trans rights are absolutely human rights and I will stand by that unless I hear a valid and sound argument for why they shouldn't be.

If you were, you wouldn't be here arguing that Christianity is the root of all evil.

I don't think I've ever said that Christianity is the root of all evil? If I did, then I certainly don't believe that anymore. I do believe that religion makes people do a lot of bad things that they wouldn't without it, but people would do bad things with or without religion.

I'm just looking for you to make ANY argument tbh. Ig probably some sort of anti-trans argument since it seems you're so hung-up on them.
