multifocals areyour friend then

Thanks but I dont want specs thatneed charging or can “crash”

The difference is the people who compiled the Bible at the Council of Nicea believed in it to varying degrees. The guy who wrote the Hobbit knew it was fiction.

Are youasking me to refer a book about the CCP’s treatment of religious communities?

Im not being pedantic. If you think Israel is a theocratic state you have no idea what a theocracy is. If your understanding of philosophy is so underdeveloped what value could your opinion have?

They can offer proof that’s the book that claims there’s an omnipresent being.

Both are making claims and neither can substantiate it. The difference is the more mainstream religious folk tend to recognize this whereas many atheists seem not to.

You need to crack open a book desperately if that’s your current perspective because Im not talking about churches. You absolutely have bigoted atheists, who murder theists. China loves murdering religious folk.

There are tons of atheists who are bigots.

“On 19 June, Beijing Party Secretary Li Ximing reported to the Politburo that the government’s confirmed death toll was 241, including 218 civilians (of which 36 were students), 10 PLA soldiers, and 13 People’s Armed Police, along with 7,000 wounded”

under “Death Toll”

IMO A kid from Palestine put it best in my first IR class “Why did my grandparents have to lose their home and everything in it because of European anti-semitism?”

Israel isn’t a theocratic state. Im not sure why you would even suggest that it was as their PM is not a religious figure.

The wikipedia article on the incident was my source.

Yeah Engels take on authoritarianism is dated and not really valid given that his ideologies do not result in anything other than authoritarian states IRL.

Most rational people oppose authoritarianism.

According to the official numbers there were ten civilians killed for every state agent of oppression.

But the Russian ties are a hoax, right?

If there is profit to be made off slop some jerk will direct it this way. There’s no need for reddit to bother.

No, there would be no benefit for doing so. There are subreddits that see more people come and go in an hour than the entirety of lemmy sees in a month.

The scientific method cannot be used to determine the truth of an inherently untestable claim. That’s why untestable claims are called unscientific because science has nothing to do with it and cannot by the inherent limits of the method.

For example, Abrahamic faiths assert that there is an omnipresent being that comprises the totality of everything. If such a being could exist then there could not be anything to compare it to as a control. Hence, you would not be able to use the method to test if this God exists as you have no not-God as a point of comparison.

The scientific method has limits. Hopefully you were taught that you use philosophical logic to determine validity of untestable claims.

Ok so you have no solution other than hope that one comes along.
