Why do fedora neckbeard atheists believe evolution when it doesn't favor them?

[Syaoran Li]

The most ironic part about euphoric atheism's exaltation of Darwin is that Charles Darwin was a devout Christian who saw evolution as proof of an all-powerful and all-knowing God.

Hell, most of the early scientists in the Western tradition were usually Christian monks and scholars, with a few Greco-Roman pagans like Archimedes, Galen, and Hippocrates.

The Roman Catholic Church promoted science and technology in the Middle Ages and Early Modern era.

Hell, Galileo's infamous trial was not over the fact he promoted heliocentrism but because Galileo had a personal dispute with Pope Urban VII and the Inquisition's statements on heliocentrism was really just an excuse to throw him in jail.

The average euphoric's view of religion is heavily informed by traditionalist Evangelical Protestant beliefs that were prominent in the 20th Century.

Gregor Mendel was a Catholic monk.

Men have always questioned religion. But usually it comes from people with actual wisdom. Not video-game playing troon/fedora morons.

And yet you don't see a bunch of atheists arising out of the dharma faiths (except when entire countries adopt secular religions like Marxism), which by your logic they should

Note that I said "Fedora Neckbeard Atheist"

Would that be because you tried to start two threads in Deep Thoughts shitting on *all* atheists and got thoroughly btfo, so now you're trying to move the goalposts every time your dumb troll arguments get ripped apart? You're also posting these stupid bait threads in General Discussion instead because everyone in Deep Thoughts saw through your schtick almost immediately and stopped taking you seriously.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you're just trolling, and with some success given that people are still trying to engage with your idiocy here despite your arguments boiling down to a mixture of "no true Scotsman" and "no u". Either that or you really are this dumb.

Charles Darwin was not in anyway a devout Christian. That’s a widely misrepresented myth. His Grandfather was a notorious atheist zealot, and his father was a renowned doctor who barely paid lip service to the Church. Darwin was only ever going to be a priest because he couldn’t be a doctor, as priests were given an easy life and lots of time to spend. Darwin’s wife was incredibly devout, and Darwin loved his wife and children dearly. In fact, much of his difficulty with God came from the personal tragedy of his child’s death. His reputation for being an atheistic zealot is due to his compatriots who would argue on his behalf (and somewhat against his wishes) against Christianity. His reputation for being a born again Christian also comes from a scam artist who visited him late in life as he was ailing and stuffed words in his mouth to prove Christianity’s superiority. Everyone of his living children said that whatever that woman alleged Darwin said was bullshit.

People can know things that are true irrespective of whether or not they benefit from it

You do, however. There are people in every social/spiritual system who question. Perhaps your logic is that the world is basically like video games or TV, with monolithic peoples and cultures, but is not.

BTW - Marxism itself is a religion, too. Now go and drink your fetid soy, O Ferengi femboi. (your avatar is win)

Oh, I'm so sorry that I made a broad sweeping generalization when the basic point of my take (that the occurrence of atheism in non-Abrahamic faiths is fairly low and not especially perceptible) still stands. Please show me the demographics of India, Japan, Singapore, etc. showing that they have a sizeable atheist community

BTW- That would be an own on the Marxism if I didn't already call it a religion.
