is a non-sequitur argument.
I think I have to disagree, but I understand where you’re coming from, hence the “arguably”. Believing something is a sin indeed doesn’t equal taking someone’s freedom to do so. However, his revulsion was uttered with such conviction and certain facial expressions that it signaled if he had free rein, he would not tolerate homosexuality at all, i.e., would prohibit it.
freedom of religion is a requirement for freedom from religion.
“freedom of religion brainwashing is a requirement for freedom from religion brainwashing.”
A spurious but innocuous sounding argument.
💭 To consider antireligion instead of atheism
“The harm of religion is historically evident whereas the presence or absence of gods is not. Ultimately, the continued existence of religion is predicated on the indoctrination of children and suppression of rational thought. Therefore I am against religion but not necessarily against the idea of gods. For all we know gods are computer scientists and we are in their video game.” ―https://www.arscyni.cc/file/antireligion.html
[…] Not only is religion vague, it is dishonest. Homosexuality for instance. While conversing with a Muslim former colleague A, I noticed that even though the religious say they supposedly want tolerance and acceptance for all, do they actually believe it?
Q: “Do you have a problem with homosexuality?”
A: “Look. They can do whatever they want, but it’s abnormal you see?”
Q: “In the strict definition of the word abnormal I agree, i.e., heterosexuality is a lot more prevalent than homosexuality, making the latter rare—“abnormal”. But I don’t consider it wrong. Do you? Do you consider it a sin even though it harms no one?”
Long silence…
A: “Yes, I consider it a sin.”
Q: “Okay then.”
Christopher Hitchens was right, religion does poison everything. Even though colleague A said people are free to do whatever they please, following it up with “homosexuality is a sin” arguably exposes his feigned tolerance. […]
Anything non-corrupt coming from the USA should be Surprise Pikachu memed from now on.
I totally agree, but not with its feasibility. Wouldn’t this only be possible in a non-globalized world with far fewer humans where everyone could grow their own food and be self-sufficient within their communities? I’m pretty sure I can’t get my lentils locally. Similar reasoning my other foodstuff; waste is pretty much the standard. Or I’m just making excuses because I’ve grown accustomed to the convenience of getting all my stuff in one place.
I recently went to the store to buy some pastries before closing—you can already know where I’m going with this. The pastry cupboard was empty so I went to check the lady who cleans them out. They were all in three big boxes stacked on top of each other, filled with soon to be thrown pastries. I took two and paid full price, knowing how ridiculous this is in contrast with the rest having been thrown in the trash 10 minutes later. I’d much rather go a day or two without food knowing that nothing gets wasted and no one goes hungry than what shameful consumerist nonsense we have now.
Hope you got some lush greenery near you as well.
I take pictures of insects to deal with this perpetual nonsense. In the forest things make sense again: https://www.smetterling.eu/, enjoy.

Give me good ol’ Sublime Text.
I don’t usually lower myself to ad hominems, but goddamn demon spawn shit-for-brains. She’s more disturbing than possessed Regan MacNeil in The Exorcist.
I’d give up computing altogether, or even commit suicide if living mainly means being subservient to these soulless parasites.

In the grand scheme of things, from an ethical point of view, they’re worth nothing as they don’t contribute anything of true value to societal change. In other words, pure entertainment, bread and circuses.
“Soccer is a gentlemen sport played by hooligans. Rugby is a hooligan sport played by gentlemen.”
While I’d enjoy playing soccer myself, the competitive scene is completely bereft of soul; a front for gambling and advertising. It’s despicable and unethical that professional soccer players earn as much as they do.
They’re synonyms.
