    I’m sure when atheists and satanists start proselytising there will be outrage - “we really meant Christians should allowed to bother their co-workers not you guys”

    So this is where the new new atheist movement will start.

    Also, remember epstein? whatever happened to that guy?

    Time to found Epsteinology, a religion based around the release and realization of the Great Nefarious Files to bring about the Grand Awakening and destruction of the Orange Menace for the good of all Humanity.

    I don’t think people really understand what’s comming. Everyone’s like “so now everyone can talk about their respective religion, haha”. But where I see this going is only the one right religion being acceptable in near future and everyone who’s making clever remarks being outlawed and prosecuted. The fact we’re not there yet makes the obvious progression to that none the less scary.

      I don’t think you realize that christians aren’t as popular as they were before. There are a LOT of others and non religious. I don’t think christians are going to enjoy the process as much as they think.

        Frankly, I’d never hire or do business with a fundie. It’s hard to put my finger on it, but there’s something about their desire to enslave or kill nonbelievers that makes me uncomfortable.

          You misunderstand, when they inevitably try that, and try to continue the “Christian nation” shit, there will be a backlash, and the violence will likely get out of control. I would not be at all surprised to see a concentrated effort to murder Christians by mobs. Christians have gone so long without facing ANY BACKLASH whatsoever for their continued depravity. It will happen and they will cry about how much of victims they are.

            I’m pressing X. The christo part of christofascism is well embedded. Just like with this epstein thing, if the ‘deep state’ under trump tried to rid themselves of the christian part by not enforcing the law in christians’ favor, they would rattle a significant part of their base. Also, we are LITERALLY seeing an entire segment of our nation (something like 40+ million strong) be targeted by this administration, and the most we can do is filming the masked guys doing it and having some city walk-arounds to show our irritation.

        True Christians find all this behavior disgusting. It is just capitalizing on a faith for profit and control while bringing harm to those that can’t pay the admission fee and/or have the wrong skin color.

        What’s going on is religious terrorism/extremism, and taking advantage of the dumbs to enable it.

          I do genuinely feel bad for the people who actually attempt to live by the words of Christ. They will be hit in the backlash much the same as other Christians, undeservedly.

    Ugh. Looking at the comment sections in posts about religious authoritarians, is about as insufferable as the comment sections in posts asking people to reduce their animal consumption.

    According to Trump, “re-thinking” means “doubling down no matter what, especially if you’re wrong”.

    I don’t really see the problem? I’d assume this includes any belief system, including atheism?

    The headline is a bit sensationalist. The article is just “colleagues should be allowed to debate religion”

      Any religion that includes crosses or mezuzah, sure.

      Atheism isn’t big on crosses.

      Atheism isn’t a belief system. Or what do we call not believing in Santa Clause, the Easter bunny and tooth fairy.

        It is a belief in that there is no God. A lack of belief either way is agnosticism

    This is the time to start invoking all of the gods for a more dynamic and adaptive office environment.

    “Listen, Ryan, I’m gonna need you to ask yourself what Enki would do in this situation, ok? You’re giving Enlil when I need an Enki. Dammit, get your head in the game. Have you not been keeping up on this stuff? Seriously, if you’ve been experimenting with that Jesus stuff again I’m gonna come unglued, I swear. Get off the fuckin cross already, jeez.”

        Or discuss the singular El versus the plural Elohim and the related implications for that over the pantheon alluded to in the books of Moses.

        But… I was trying to spread the love across the old religions and just leading off with a fun pairing. This Yahweh guy gets a lot of attention. Ra is displeased and unpleasant droughts will undoubtedly be visited upon us all now. Fuck.
