I am quite sure the point of the sheep analogy was to tell everyone they are worth saving. Parable of the Shepherd was about a guy who could cut his losses and be happy with the 99 out 100 sheep but went through the trouble of finding the lost one. It's suppose to be inspiring.
I’ll have to disagree with you a bit on that one. Don’t forget a lot of prominent New Atheists were opposed to atheism+, supported Gamergate and were members of the early Anti-SJW Skeptic community (Thunderf00t & TJ come to mind). In fact, I’ve even seen a few woke types denounce New Atheism as being right-wing.
You can be an atheist without being a retard about it. I have no problem with atheists, agnostics, whatever. "I believe in God but respect your beliefs", "I don't believe in God/believe there is no God but I respect your beliefs too", "Cool", "Cool" is how it should go. Obviously militant theists are obnoxious too, but at least they usually phrase their views as "you're ignorant/misguided and I wanna help you" instead of "fuck you stop believing in a magic sky ghost lmao". Either way, it's my opinion that faith or lack thereof shouldn't be something you try to force on someone else.
It's been 14 fucking years, can't they come up with something new? To think I used to be one of these euphoric fags back in the day.
Yeah, I hate both this and the coexist stickers. It's true that a lot of these groups hate each other, but it's really only Islam that actively works to destroy its enemies nowadays. I also like the genocidal undertones that peace requires doing away with Christianity.
> Peace is a world without Islam or Christianity
People that say this kind of shit always ignore that it was secular governments that killed +100 million people in the 20th century, not The Catholic Church. A death toll roughly equivalent to the bubonic plague, though not proportionally.
"tHaT wAs nOt rEaL aThEiSm" is usually these dingbat's response to such inconvenient facts.
What I find ironic is that they smugly say ”not real atheism” while perpetuating the Black Legend and sharing that shitty graph about the ”Christian dark ages”.
>implying that the medieval Church didn't promote art and culture
When leftoids say "art and culture" they mean degeneracy. They're not thinking about cathedrals, stained glass, fresco paintings, icon paintings, illuminated manuscripts, and other works of high art.
