“Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. You have condemned and murdered the innocent one, who was not opposing you.”

    Not believing in fairy tales is scientific.

    LOL! Need some help getting out of that rabbit hole you’ve dug for yourself?

    Materialism, over idealism, is scientific.

    Ooooh… Trotsky must be so proud.

    Atheism is in line with all of these,

    Good thing you told me… your discourse certainly wouldn’t have.

    but treating them as reality without basis is anti-science.

    I guess treating false binaries as incontestable truth based on pure assumption is a regular thing with you atheists, huh?

    I wasn’t being elitist when I said my family isn’t technically minded,

    Then why did you bring it up?

    If a child invents a god, as you say, why would you assume it to be fact?

    I didn’t, genius - you were the one who precluded the possibility that the hypothetical child in your hypothesis would shoot your hypothesis in the foot… I merely pointed it out.

    More strawman bullshit claiming I think myself above anthropology,

    Then why are you afraid of proving your hypothesis? If humans are so terrible at inventing gods as your hypothesis requires us to be, it should be historically evident, shouldn’t it? In fact… I’d go so far as to say that the existence of religion itself should be impossible - if your hypothesis has any weight to it, that is.

    That is indeed what people have been doing for thousands of years

    Oh, thank goodness for the “enlightened atheists!” Thousands of years navigating existence means nothing now that the armchair geniuses has shown up to show us the correct way of doing so!

    LOL!

    Your atheism doesn’t just smack of liberalism - it’s starting to sound downright white.
