    agreed, and i don’t even engage with it so I don’t really give a shit but Hannah Fry had an interesting yt short about this.

    she said you might wanna say please and thank you while talking to these [affronts to God] not to be spared when they take over or whatever but because what they’re doing is roleplaying. eg. you ask them a question like a Shakespeare character and they’ll respond in kind.

    so probably saying please and thank you will encourage them to roleplay as someone who tries to help more enthusiastically.

    I wouldn’t do it myself; just thought it’s interesting.

        oh god r/atheism is leaking. I didn’t even say that in any seriousness, just think it’s a funny phrase. but either way you’re unbearable. do you go into tirades when people say bless you after sneezing? ugh.

          I was quoting Miyazaki in my original post.

          I also like triggering people who get their morals from the external threat of eternal damnation.

          Do you go into a fit of rape rage knowing there is no moral daddy figure for you to submit to? Ugh.

            I can smell your fedora from here.

              Awwweee your insults are as old and outdated as the books religion claims to follow.

              You’re wearing your Handmaiden outfit nicely.

                you’re so bad at this too… you know probably the biggest evidence for the existence of a god is that every loud advocate for atheism is invariably an obnoxious, unfuckable shit who doesn’t know how to engage any conversation like a human being. mysterious ways and all.
